jmikolich (405), Athens, Ohio, USA Jun 6, 2007 I dont see wheat here, from the 22oz bottle with around 1.5 years on it, but i do see a faded IPA/ Barleywine combo with some mix of hops with a very distinct sweetness pretty thick stuff, but im glad i waited til now to drink it. toncatcher (228), Santee - SAN DIEGO, California, USA Jun 4, 2007 Pours amber with a whie haed. Aroma very subtle with pine and bread, and malt. Surprising ly good kenb (1100), Oregon, USA May 28, 2007 22 oz bottle from Leopoldstoch(thanks!). Ok, this is a 2 year old bottle, Pours a hazy amber with a large chunky head. Not sure what this is supposed to be, but smells like a barleywine. Tastes like one too. Starts with some sweet heavy malts, a little spiciness (almost ginger-like) and ends with a hop wallop of citrus and earthiness. Body is heavy, carbonation is moderate/high. Alcohol is pretty obvious for only being 7.8 abv, i would have guessed 10% at least... FROTHINGSLOSH (1961), GREENSBURG, Pennsylvania, USA May 23, 2007 Sampled from a 22 oz brown bottle this beer poured a vibrant golden color with a huge amber-white head. The aroma was strong grapefruit and pine with a sweet and slightly spicy finish. The flavor was sweet, tangy, grapefruity and had a hint of spicy hops underneath. There was a mild hoppy finish. Glouglouburp (2778), Montreal, Quebec, Canada May 4, 2007 A white ring of foam on top of a cloudy orange body. Nice soft mouthfeel, soft in a cotton-candy melts-in-your-mouth kind of way. Body is filled with soft slightly roasted malts. Generously hopped with aromatic hops providing only a light bitterness. Grapefruits and citrus flavours abound. No alcohol presence at all. The whole beer feels very soft and ends-up being highly drinkable. Its lack of punch will turn down many lovers of in-your-face beers but I for one could drink bottles after bottles of that stuff without ever getting sick of it. If all 9th anniversaries were that wonderful all 3rd graders would be riding new bikes. badlizard (2325), Berkeley, California, USA May 3, 2007 On tap at Stone. Caramel and cirus aroma. Bread-like taste transitioning to caramel sweetness and finishing with a dry slightly bitter roastiness. brettpace (179), Northridge, California, USA May 1, 2007 Very good ale, piney. However, i prefer the levitation double hopped ale to this. Cant wait to hit stone up this weekend!! robertsreality (2460), Minnesota, USA Apr 23, 2007 Dark Yellow/Gold Color. Alot of Citrus, Pined Hops on the Nose....Initially Very Sweet, Alchol Very Noticeable. Alot of Malt and Hops Flavors. Something Wierd About the Mix..Perhaps Just Not Quite the Symphony and Balance of Flavors That Stone Normally Has in Their Beer, But Still a Nice Brew. .Lightly Dried Ending.
