May 22, 2008 A golden clear beer with a small white head that doesn’t last. Aroma is spice dominated with belgian yeasty notes. The flavor is so overwhelmingly spicy it hardly tastes like beer. I guess I missed the first instalments, but I probably won’t get around to giving this another chance in 4 years.

May 22, 2008 22 oz. bottle. Pours a murky, golden color with a ton of floaties. Very little head present. Floral aroma with hints of lemon peel. Funky flavor, some wet hay. Peppery finish.

May 6, 2008 POured a hazy golden color with a small off white head. Aroma was of alot of spices, candy sugar and some fruit. Taste was also fruity and spicey but very sweet and a little hoppy finish, very interesting and complex.

May 5, 2008 Copying from my tasting notes. Bottle. Dark golden pour with a small white head. Very spicey/citrus on the nose. Sort of bland taste through out with some light spices. Not great

May 4, 2008 A pretty good beer but not the best in the style or anywhere near stone’s best. Pours a nice gold with some amber color. Some nice spice on this beer but overall is not that memorable. As some other raters mentioned it does not really fit a style

May 2, 2008 bomber. pours a deep golden color with a thin white head... spicy aroma.... the citrus peels of grapefruit, orange and lemon are prevalent on the palate with the most spice up front. The hops and malts balance each other out to a mediocre body. Overall a nice beer, but not extremely exciting. Not one of Stone’s finest.

Apr 27, 2008 Dark, orangish brown with a small head which retain very well. Smells creamy, sweet fruits, banana, slight alcohol odor. The taste is sweet, spicy and a bit peppery. The mouthfeel is a bit thick, well carbonated and leaves a sweet coating on the inside of the mouth. This is very well balanced and easy to sip on but a bit of an overload to the senses if overconsumed.

Apr 22, 2008 20070630 Thanks Paul for sharing. Not too interesting. Doesn’t seem to fit a style. Too much spice for my taste, cardamom? Nice body though, too bad the heavy spice is spoiling it. Unctuous. Still a bit hot?
