| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | Nov 19, 2003 I know its an APA but in many ways it hit me in such a way as I thought it was an IPA. Full amber color. Heavy IBU. 3 hrs later I could still taste the hops. blank (998), Washington, Washington DC, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Nov 18, 2003 doesn't taste like an APA, the consencious was a hard IPA. A heavy IBU and a low malt flavor didn't help. A decent beer, but not a very good APA. Panzuriel (995), Westerville, Ohio, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 18, 2003 ANother awesomely hopped beer from stone. Terribly hoppy nose with acrid bitters. Wonderfully complex beer that is fascinatingly balanced and smooth. Full round flavor. Silky smooth and a good beer all around. Murphy (1759), Fort Collins, Colorado, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Nov 16, 2003 It's a pale, what can I say. This beer is well done, things are balanced well and it comes off quite smooth and drinkable. I would say it is a little limited by the style, I mean you can only make a pale so good before you start pushing into IPA territory like Deschutes Mirror Pond. Whatever. It was a good beer. jimhilt (1689), Bow, New Hampshire, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Nov 7, 2003 Pours a three-fingered off-white head, fades slowly and leaves a good lace. Almost clear amber color. Nose is hoppy with hints of alcohol. Starts with a hop-bitterness, and finishes with a lingering hoppiness - more than I expected with the high ABV. Light carbonation and medium - full bodied. $5.99 for a 22oz bottle. bsour (78), Boise, Idaho, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Nov 6, 2003 Head was small but good. Dissipated quickly with some lacing on the glass. Orange/amber in color. Hoppy nose with a bit of a bite from the alcohol. You can taste the alcohol a little, and it has a healthy dose of hops. Nice malt flavors find their way in also. Good balance with great taste. Ubiquibeer (140), Cleveland, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Nov 1, 2003 I would have thought this would fall in the IPA category. It's a big beer in every way--very well made and very balanced. A pleasure to drink. ToadMan (554), Washington, Washington DC, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 31, 2003 The commercial description is very accurate. Dark orange amber color, small head, light lace. Big hoppy-floral-grapefruit aroma. Quite hoppy with a decent balance of oaty malts. Rich, strong, very nice. A little more hoppieness and bitterness than I would like, but still a very nice beer.
