May 10, 2009 Bottle Shared By EDA, thank you Mike. Pours a honey orange body with a thin white head. Oxidation, tobacco, paper and moth. Plumy with a hint of fruit esters.

May 1, 2009 Part of my ebay haul. Pours hazy orange with a white head. For how old the beer is, I thought the hops held up relatively well in both aroma and flavor. Citrus flavor but still mild. Having both the 2004 Epic and this tonight, I liked the 2004 Epic better.

Mar 8, 2009 Bomber. Poured slightly hazy medium orange with a dusting of eggshell head. The aroma picked up deeper grapefruit meat and semi-sweet caramel surrounded by floral and piney notes.. still bright and engaging. The flavor found grainy, toasted caramel and grapefruit meat at the core with earthy and citrus bitterness surrounding.. the finish left some grainy grapefruit sugars and just a splash of warmth. Medium-bodied with low carbonation on the palate.. broken down a little bit, leaving a grainy impression on the finish.. decent flow.

Light tan, no head. Not much aroma. Bitter hops and sugary malts. Medium Carbonation. Not impressed.

Feb 6, 2009 On tap at Winter Storm ’09. Pours a warm copper color with a trim off-white head. Smells and tastes of orange rind, yeast, hops, caramel, and malt. Balanced, but unambitious next to a lot of other Stone beers.

Feb 1, 2009 Pours a golden amber color. Caramel, sweet malt, bitter hops, and hints of fruit and citrus. It’s alright.

Jan 27, 2009 On tap at Winter Storm. Orangeish color with an off white head. Aroma of sweet malt, yeast, caramel, must and spice. Flavor of flowers, yeast, spice, earth, fruit. A bit strange and couldn’t get a good read on alot of it. That being said, it was still an interesting and nuanced beer.

Jan 26, 2009 Tap at Winter Storm 09. I would drink this early and often. A great red, even though it looks a lot like an IPA. Wonderful red creaminess, very bright fruit and alcohol. Like a simpler YuleSmith.
