Aug 13, 2009 Deep brown pour with gold highlights and nice floppy tan head. Aroma is bright hops and sweet rich malt. Taste and feel is notably full and solid, lots on interesting hop detail, fruity, nice bitter finish.

Aug 13, 2009 On Tap at Old Town. Pours DARK ruby red with tiny head. Nose is BIG TIME complexity. Wet, fruity hops, hops, hops, and something I can’t quite place from the herbal section of the grocery. Taste follows the nose. I wish I could name that mystery flavor! It’s almost like a mix of carrots and fresh ginger root or something similar. Overall this beer tastes like what I would imagine a pine comb turned juicy fruit might taste like. And I’m Digging It!!!! This is very different and VERY GOOD! I’ve found a new style I’m fond of. Stone Did It Right AGAIN!!!

Aug 12, 2009 This stuff is awesome! Copper red in appearance. Pours with a light white creamy head. Smell and taste is HOPS but not so much to overpower a non hop head like my wife! I of course love the hops!!!

Aug 12, 2009 22oz Bomber. Pours brown with a red tint. Mine had a ton of head, but that may have partly been my fault, second pour was better. Aroma is very hoppy. Taste is also very hoppy, but instead of a huge bite at the end as i was expecting, it sort of mellows out and taste a little more roasted. I like it!

Aug 11, 2009 Bottle. Poured dark amber with red tint. Head was tan. Aroma was pine with undertones of malt. Flavor was very hops but the malts help to control them and develop throughout with a bit of alcohol.

Aug 10, 2009 ~Pours a dark amber ruby color with creamy brown head.
~Very resinous scent with pine notes and lots of crystal malts and alcohol.
~Well balanced flavor. Surprisngly mellow. Hops are huge, but malts make them soft. Grassy and piney with sweet malts and alcohol
~Soft feel, alcohol burn, bitter finish.
~ A strong ale for sure. Good brew. Lots of flavor and scent. Almost a bit over the top with the hops. Good thing malts are there to back them up.
