Nov 5, 2009 Pours into the glass gold with an enormous white head. Aroma has little hop aroma and a bit of a vinegar like scent. I think this is possibly an infected bottle.

Oct 21, 2009 22 oz. bottle- Pours cloudy orange with little head, aroma is of cloves, very floral. Taste is very Belgian, and has a nice spiciness to it. I love Stone beers for how powerful they are, but I am glad they went with more of a subtle approach here. Cant wait til 2012.

Oct 21, 2009 Bomber. Clear orange-golden with a lasting creamy disc above. Aroma of earthy caramel, beeswax, resin and white wine. Tastes of flowery honey, resiny cereal grain, and peppery citrus peel. Finish is white wine, bubblegum, evergreen and pepper-clove. Light-medium body is dry, too fizzy for me, and has a little alcohol warmth.

Oct 18, 2009 bottle, from Julio’s, nice they had it right next to the 09/09/09. Good aroma, sweet, fruity, yeast spice, minor orange and mixed berry when cold, got more of a clove and grass as warmed. Hazed golden orange color, small head, faded quick, no lace. Spice, bitter sweet flavor. Medium body, syrupy, yet smooth, mouthfeel, Bitter finish. Good brew, lost it’s fruitiness as warmed. Got more of the spice from the spice then. Liked it range of flavor as it warmed.
