Treephiend (57), Walla Walla, Washington, USA Jan 15, 2007 Very tasty well ballanced ale. It has a good fruity sweetness combined with a generous dose of hoppy bitterness to create such a well rounded ale. garmonbozia (225), Hattiesburg, Mississippi, USA Jan 14, 2007 Updated: Feb 2, 2007Thanks to Styles, Pours an orange color with a nice white head. Smells of citrus, bready, and hops. Taste is very smooth and nicle carbinated also. Overall a very nice beer RedHaze (370), Where the hell am I?, Nebraska, USA Jan 14, 2007 Pours a mostly clear ornag color with a one inch frothy head that slowly settles to a thin spotty cap and thick ring, and leaves a very nice looking web of lace.
Smell; smells strongly hops with grapefruits and oranges, and some other fruits that I can’t quite place (maybe apricots?). There’s a pretty good malt presence in the nose to go along with the hops.
Taste; strong alcohol notes hit right away. Bitter hops with some sweet grapefruit and oranges following. This has a petty solid malt backbone to counter thos hops some. I just wish the alcohol didn’t have such a pronounced presence in the flavor. Mouthfeel is medium bodied, and to syrupy for me, and the drinkability takes a big hit due to the alcohol taste. xmarcnolanx (789), Kirkwood, Missouri, USA Jan 7, 2007 Aroma of citrus and pine with a taste of citrus and a dry finish. Pleasant, but not my favorite offering from the lineup. alexanderj (2212), Chino Hills, California, USA Dec 28, 2006 Draft at Stone’s Winter Storm. Color was gold; fairly dark. Aroma of citrus hops, with a slight pine presence. Flavor was mainly of the citrus hops, with a malt presence. Dry finish. Pretty good, but something didn’t exactly click with me. Racegoer (338), Somewhere Out There, USA Dec 18, 2006 22 oz Bomber, medium golden, frothy. Thick flavours of pine and full hops, its been a long time since I have rated a beer here, I AM BACK. Nice easy carbination cirtrus resounds with nice piney hops, not a top shelf choice, but still recommended. Bought at Jungle Jim’s on my yearly trip to Cincinnati Ohio. redlem (1155), Illinois, USA Dec 15, 2006 Dark gold color with a large dense head. Strong citrus hoppy aroma nad taste. Slightly slick wheat mouthfeel. Alcohol faintly noticeable. Ty5592 (1015), Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA Dec 14, 2006 Updated: Oct 26, 2007Bottle from Santa. cloudy light gold with not head. This beer smelled great but have very ordinary taste. The flavors almosted seemed subdued. The grapefuit hop flavor was present but it seemed muted by the strange malty taste. I drank most the majority of the bottle, the rest went to my dog.
