Sep 28, 2006 Thanks to hellomynameis for this one. Star of the show that night. Massive amounts of hops with tons of mango fruitiness added.VERY NICE I say to the naysayers. There is some peppery hotness to it but the tastebuds are drinking every single flavor and rejoicing.
This was very complex. Balanced? Didn’t care as it was a treat to sip on.

Sep 28, 2006 cloudy orange pour. sweet smell with malts and fruits. citrus and pines and caramels are all featured. Sorta all over the map in flavours. Comes and goes as it pleases. The alcohol content is mellow. I am a fan.

Sep 27, 2006 Updated: Mar 5, 2008(9/27/06, 22oz bottle) Crystal clear deep amber body topped by a medium off-white head. Aroma is moderately sweet, pineapple, herbal, caramel, peach, light alcohol. Taste is moderately sweet, pineapple, grapefruit, caramel, peach syrup, light alcohol, cane sugar. Alcohol is held well by the resiny, sticky full body.
(3/5/08, 22oz bottle) For some reason I saved a bottle, then of course forgot about it. Tonight when I opened it, it was a gusher and a boozy mess. I’m not going to knock my score down, because this isn’t something that makes much sense to age. All the same, it’s about a 2.4 now, a waste of money to have saved it.

Sep 27, 2006 On cask at the Liar’s Bar in Mission Beach, CA. Pours a foggy orange/amber color with a thin head. The warmness really brings out the alcohol in this beer. Huge hops aroma. Piney, with some spice and citrus. Amazing taste. Heavy. Very impressed. One of the better Stone beers I have had in a while. Keep up the good work.

Sep 26, 2006 Updated: Oct 24, 2006Pours a glowing caramel with red tones. Aroma is sweet, sticky hops. Pine, citrus and gummy bears. Flavor is not what I was expecting, given the aroma. Very spicy, peppery and earthy. Hot alcohol presence. Real malty. Heavy, strong bitterness. Extremely lacking in the hops that I expected. Good amounts of pine, but really no other hop presence. Really really malty. Palate is rich, smooth and velvety. Everything about this beer is fantastic, except the flavor, which is just good. Like everyone else, I can’t wait to see how this ages.

Sep 26, 2006 Ahhh, this was quite tasty. Amber colour with an eggshell like head. The hops are very apparent in the aroma, Pine hops with some resiny qualities, there are some apricots as well. The flavour is wonderful, exploding with hops, but not overly bitte rlike some double IPAs. Smoth, well balanced, flavourful, just a great beer. I’m glad I grabbed a few of them!
