Feb 13, 2009 Poured slightly hazy amber with almost no head. Smelled of spice, banana, hay, and alcohol. Tasted sweet, slightly medicinal, grassy, not strongly bitter but harsh. Overly carbonated, thin, and dry. Definitely needs to age.

Feb 9, 2009 Nicely done combo of the Belgian golden ale and west coast IPA styles. Golden color with a nice white head. Aroma is west coast hops, sweet malt, banana, clove, and Belgian yeast. Starts with yeast, sweet malt, and candi sugar. Finishes with Stone’s typical Simcoe/Amarillo hops. Medium palate, some hop oiliness.

Feb 9, 2009 Updated: Feb 16, 2009Bottle. Pours a great golden color, with a little haziness. Medium beige head .I didn’t get a huge belgian influence in the taste. More like a nice, solid, strong IPA. Clean finish.

Feb 8, 2009 Hazy and yellow and soapy. Aroma is fruity but with butterscotch, bananas and yeast. Palate also has some bananas and some toffee, has nice tiny carbonation, very unassuming yet complex palate, light and delicate. Unusual and good.

Feb 7, 2009 Interesting one, borders on a IIPA with the thick malty presence. Hoppy, but has belgian candy notes to it. There’s definetely two sides to this beer. Sticky, hoppy, only slightly belgian to me though.

Feb 7, 2009 Bottle. Body-very pretty dark honey orange with a lasting quarter inch foamy white head. Nose-coriander, orange, Kaffir lime leaf, light soap, some unsticky PNW hops. Taste-wet hops, light non-acidic lime, watered down orange juice, lots of soft “foamy” esters, some pear, some grapefruit juice, lively CO2. A perfect mix of citrus, yeasty esters, CO2, and hops.

Feb 6, 2009 22 oz. bottle. A slightly hazy gold pour with lots of little floaties and a thin light-tan head. Smells of the classiest floral arrangement in the town’s worst funeral home! That, and some bananas and grapefruits. Thin to medium-bodied with a bit of a crisp finish. Starts off spicy and pretty grainy with some sweet caramel, a little vanilla, and a hint of corn. Transitions nicely to some tangy oranges and some bananas. Spiciness/pepper throughout. Some alcohol warmth at the end. Bitterness there too. Alright.
