Oct 13, 2003 Very nice. I have one put away, it'll be fun to see how well it ages.
Very citrus esters in both the taste and scent. The alcohol content certainly is present, but that should mellow quite well.

Oct 13, 2003 This is a nice American Pale Ale. Hoppy, sweet, and toasted malt flavor. Finish is clean, smooth, and bitter.

Oct 13, 2003 Copper in color, with a decent lacing - sweet citrus aroma - malts and hops in wonderful abundance - big time grapefruit and other citrus flavors (I swear I can see pulp in this beer) - highly sweet at first, but the hops swell up out of the maltiness to dominate the toasty finish - great stuff.

Oct 12, 2003 Thickishly amber with a decent head and lasting lace. Malts were thick and toasted. Woody and nut-like at times. Alcohol was noticeable and warming with sharp notes that carried into a burnt bitterness. Hops were big and bold, keeping up with the alcohol and malts without losing pace. Carbonation level complemented nicely. Bitterness built heavily in the aftertaste. Even though it's only 7.7 ABV, it seemed like more. Very enjoyable beverage.

Oct 10, 2003 On tap at Falling Rock. Glass, shirt and glass filled - what a deal! Okay, I don't need to be bribed. My whole judgement obscured by a day of tasting, but still came away enjoying it as having a full pint cut through much of the damage to let me taste some mighty nice malting and hops. Have another bottle that will help me make the final judgement. I do recall savoring it that night.

Oct 10, 2003 Toasted maltiness, nutty, rich mouthfeel. Hoppiness is strong throughout, citrusy and grassy at the end. I actually enjoyed the Pale better as we drank them side-by-side. Not out of balance, just sort of mish/mash of flavors in the 7. I'll get one to "rest" a while and see what happens. Thanks to SDBruboy!

Oct 9, 2003 Updated: Nov 15, 2003Bomber bottle-thanks to everybody on the ratebeer forum for their kind words of wisdom-this one was for you!!!
Aroma full of sugar coated hops-similar to a barleywine. Appearance was a nice garnet color(quite a bit lighter than the Arrogant bastard). Flavor when first detected was huge malt that tingled the tongue followed by that dose of amarillo, athanum and whatever hop they used in this. As this warmed, the balance became more evident-the hops became more apparent and the alcohol was less detected. Definately another great accomplishment by Stone!
