Oct 21, 2003 Slightly sweet malt aroma. Big malt flavor throughout balanced by the 'signature' big hop flavor Stone is known for. I like it...glad I have more to stash away.

Oct 20, 2003 Viscosity and girth transmitted even to the nose hairs, the sweet honey caramalt portrays the wealth of a plentiful kingdom...Fat, resinous oranges dressed in gorgeous almond skins, sipping on a Peach Schnapps'...If King Kong wanted a pale ale, I'd give him this one...

Oct 20, 2003 Updated: Feb 1, 2004Pretty clear dark amber robe with a generous off-white head, very sticky to the glass. After one sniff: "We've got a winner of the day!". The nose is more reminiscent of an IPA, hops are certainly there, reminding of oranges, but what manages to impress here is the BIG caramelic malt presence. The Body is full, round, almost visquous with above average carbonation. I found it to have not only a definite hop character (while it's an attack, it's not overly agressive in its bitter) but also an algae feeling. The malt plays games with the tongues, one minute it's honey, the other it's maple. Chewy! Thank you Jazz88 !

Oct 20, 2003 This brew pours with an amber hue topped by a medium thick creamy off white head with good lacing. the aroma is slightly sweet, grapefruity and hoppy with the slightest bit of sweet maltiness. The flavor is hoppy, hoppy, hoppy with notes of pine and grapefruit and a touch of malt. Medium to full bodied, tingly and slightly dry.

Oct 19, 2003 FWE beer#4. Hazy orange color with a small head consisting of little bubbles. Grapefruits and hops in the nose, and more of both in the taste. Also somewhat bitter. I like it. Where can I find more Stone?

Oct 19, 2003 Fort Wayne event. The fourth brew of the day. This brew poured a small head of finely sized mostly lasting light brown colored bubbles that left behind a hazy light brown colored semi-hazy body. The aroma was a medium strength hoppy one and its mouthfeel was tingly from the hops. The flavor was also all hops and some spice.

Oct 18, 2003 Brilliant red-orange in color. Pillowy white head leaves tons of lace. Nose is surprisingly malty with a floral note and a slight hint of cloves. Slightly oily and slick on the tongue with subdued carbonation. Exceptionally well balanced--sweetly citric with a rising hop presence in the finish. Delicious.
