Shorts Anniversary Ale Part Deux Dry Hop Version

Bottle from Floydster at Stone Sourfest 09. Hazy yellow color. Aroma is yeasty, citrusy, dust. Flavor is bourbon, hops, and caramel.

( 12oz bottle ) Pours a hazy amber body with a small white head. Aroma of grapefruit, bread, wood, and earth. Flavor of breadiness, grapefruit, caramel, and florals with a bitter finish.

Pours colorful. Smell is aged hops and taste is aged hops and kinda syrupy with a hint of bourbon barrel aging. Still slightly hoppy and fruity. Decent

Stone Sourfest shared thankfully by Floydster. Super sweet rich honey and grape nose. Rich, sweet smooth taste. Thick and gooey.

Bottle shared by Floydster at the Stone Sourfest! Pours with a small white head over a clear golden body. Aroma of bourbon, hops, oak,and caramel. Taste is bourbon, citrus hops and caramel. Medium to low carbonation. I like bourbon, I like hops, and I like this.

Another old rating. I really liked these bourbon IIPA’s. Aroma was very big bourbon and some light hops. I actually liked this one a littl more than the grapefruit one. THere is still some hops even after 9 months in a barrel.

12oz bottle 4/1/09 (Purchased Shorts)-Pours a hazy dark golden with a small white covering for a head. Aroma of hops, malt, citrus, and grapefruit. Flavor was the same with some alcohol and bourbon thrown in. This medium bodied brew was not bad but a bit overpowering. Not much bourbon as I was hoping. Still tasty.

12oz via trade with Alexsdad. I felt like a beer and this was cold and hell I wanted to open it, so there ya go. Pours deep murky orange with a tan ring. Nose is oaky with wood and resin, and pine. Taste is bourbony and hoppy and big really an aggressive beer with a lot more complexity than I’d expect.
