Tasted 4/18/09. Schlafly’s Repeal of Prohibition Festival. Filtered with a deep golden hue. Lacing off-white head. Really nice, citrusy nose. Medium bodied and lager-ish. Mild subtle fruity esters. Bready malts. Dry finish. Interesting methods results in a solidly produced brew.

Sampled at Schlafly Repeal of Prohibition festival. Pours golden / copper with an off-white head. The aroma has nectar fruits, alt-like malt and caramel notes. Medium body that is smooth and creamy with some carbonation bite on the finish. The taste is similar to the aroma with spice and creamy malt thrown in along with nice toastiness. Good beer.

On tap at the brewpub. Pale golden yellow with a thin white head. Aroma is weak malts and a bit metallic. Taste is basic pale malt sweetness, lightly bitter and metallic. Cool process idea, ends up tasting like Miller Lite.

Sampled GABF 2008
This beer has a frothy, light tan colored head and the color is mostly clear with a gold color. The aroma smells of thin, washed out grain and a wan hop note. The aroma is grainy, with some faint herbal notes, some corn-leaning DMS as well as a fruity, pale berry note with a touch of green apple.

The beer is quite light bodied and it has a bad grainy, almost corn-like finish to it. The hop character contributes a light herbal note as well as a touch of bitterness to the finish. The hops actual seem a bit green and astringent in the finish, despite being fairly muted. This beer leaves me wondering what the stone reference is to? One would expect a more pronounced caramelized grain character if it was actually heated rocks were added to this brew. I was definitely hoping for more character than this.

On tap in Little Rock. Pours with a small, off-white head and a clear yellow body. Aroma is slightly of honey. Taste is a fruity lager with tett (fruity pebbles) hops, cereal, corn and syrup. Watery mouthfeel.

Clear light amber pour with minimal light white head. Weak fruity, somewhat earthy aroma. The tett hop profile is NOT balanced by the hint of caramel malt that I pick up in the flavor. The waiter said this was the most popular brew they sell, but personally, I didn’t see the attraction.
