Commercial Description:
A Super Special Pale Ale. Amber-ish/dark orange color, quite hoppy with a fruity aroma and upfront flavor. There is a hop-bitterness sting on the tongue at first with noticeable malt reminiscent of a sweet pastry, more fruity hop flavors linger and blend into a toasty-malty balance that comes through in the finish. This full bodied ale is placed nicely on the high side of the scale.

This is a powerful IPA, very smooth, and predominantly hoppy. Sweet on the lips and tongue, with lots of citrus, grapefruit and apricots. The flavor is nicely unbalanced, with the hops and the malts taking turns with the flavor dominance. A very good combination of Arrogant and Ruination.

Very much seems to fall into the double IPA category; Powerfully bitter floral hops balances the bedrock of chewy, sweet maltiness and gives long life to the finish; Sweet and floral in nature, the nose matches the flavor; Bright amber/orange color and slightly cloudy; Off white head has good retention and some lacing

Clear amber in appearence with a light cream colored head that laces the side of the glass. The sroma is a hops and some malt. The flavor is sweet, and the sweetness is nicely balanced by the hops.

Pours a nice syrupy gold with a big creamy head. So much ripe fruitiness in the nose; grapefruit, tangerines, figs and much more. A hugely complex beer with a equally complex hop profile. Very enjoyable and surprisingly well-balanced. I put one down and will save it for a couple years.

Orange, brown, red with beige-yellow head. Flowery aroma with tones of soil and citrus hops. Spicy flavor with tones of merengue, flowers, and hops. Killing bitter finish. Happy birthday to you too.

Nice copper color with thin ivory head. Mildy hopped with a roasted malty mouth. Alcohol nicely masked behind barley wine finish. Atta way, Lee.

Well 7th anniversary and you would think it would get better, but I found this beer to be quite flat and lacking the stone's flavorable tastes.
