Commercial Description:
Who is qualified to judge one's contribution? Is it the pure Wisconsin barley malt or shall credit be given to traditional German and English hops? Maybe it is the Belgian Monastic yeast or the Brewer's tender care? Combined, this is a sophisticated Abbey style ale. Both elegant and drinkable this ale is cleanly aromatic with spicy notes of clove and ginger. Crisp and fragrant up front while gracefully sliding into warm malt notes at the finish. Fermented natually in this bottle, the beer in your hand is a living testament to the value of many working together to create something bigger than the individual parts. Moving a mountain begins with a single stone.

Bottle courtesy of my wife’s friend Cassie. Pours a cloudy gold. Rocky, white foam head. Nose is loaded with fruit, Belgian yeast and spices. Very appetizing aroma. Taste is big Belgian yeast notes, soft citrus, light spice, dried fruits, bubblegum, and sweet malts. Soem candyish notes intertwined as well. Body is bubbly and prickly. Medium overall feel. Some lasting bitterness through the finish coupled with more yeast and lemony tartness. Candyish fruits and sweet malts ride a wave of spices down the throat. Not bad!

Pours a hazy gold color. Tastes of citrus with obvious clove and spices. A very unique taste but is balanced well.

12 oz bottle. Pours a slightly hazy yellow gold body under a 2 finger fizzy white head. Torrents of visible carbonation maintains the head for a very long time. The aroma is quite fruity with alot of bready pale malt and estery yeast notes. Light cinnamon and spices. The flavor is pretty light and bland up front with some light sweetness and a spicy ginger laced finish. Mouthfeel is lighter bodied with a biting spritzy carbonated finish. Fairly thinnish in texture. This one really doesn’t do it for me. It was OK, but nothing I’d seek out and trade for again.

Had a full, "unusual" taste for me. Almost like a thick lager. Smelled nice, appearance was deep rust, had a strong, creamy head. I can handle two before I start to feel overfull on the beer. Not a good session beer but goes well with a meat-heavy meal (steaks, burgers, etc).

More mild larger than Beligan wheat. Its best feature is a grassy farm yard aroma and flavor. If you are not bored by larger you would like this. Spotted Cow with Beligan yeast.

Poured a fizzy, clear, bright yellow with some white foamy head. Smelled very sweet, sugary and candy-like. Some clove. Flavor was very unique but also inherently Belgian. Sort of like a hefeweizen (probably the clove). Really smooth drinking and easy to imbibe.. Sophisticated is a great word to describe Stone Soup. Another hit by NG, Wisconsin’s finest.

Clear golden body under a foamy white head. There’s a nice contrast between the honey-sweet ginger and clove aroma to the dry malty flavor finishing with hop bitterness, clove spice, and a pleasant orange rind note. This is a very well put together beer - not too sweet and the spicing elements play well together. I suppose it doesn’t hurt that it’s fresh, too!

Pours hazy yellow with white head. Aroma of citrus, spice, hops, and sweet malt. Taste of spice and citrus in the foreground with a sweet malt background. Kind of a spicey finish.
