Sep 15, 2006 On tap poured a clear pale/gold color with a nice big off white head. The aroma was mainly citrus hops with some sweet malt mixed in. The taste had an assertive bitterness up front that led to even more hops in the finish. It had a simple malt profile with a small amount of tartness from the wheat. Overall a nicely aged beer with no real flaws.

Sep 15, 2006 22 oz. bottle. Drank on 8/10/06. Bottle conditioned. Clear, orangish yellow. Big 3" creamy off-white / yellowish head. Big foam sticks around. Big lacing. Aroma - pretty big, sweet with lots of fruity, citrusy orange hops, even after being almost a year old. Flavor - decent up front bitterness - pretty well balanced on the tongue. Some sweetness and orangy citrus flavors. Somewhat tart, mildly puckery finish. Palate - Medium towards full. Carb. on the lower side of avg. Coats the tongue nicely. Overall - really good. I pretty much like everything from Stone. Desc. says wheat beer, but no mention of wheat on the bottle? Pretty citrusy, but goes down really well on a hot day like today. Does a great job of hiding almost 8%. Great job for a big summer beer.

Sep 13, 2006 Poures a nice copper color with medium white head. Aroma is of malts, and citrus as well as some hops and some yeast. Flavor is citrus and some spices. Malts and a little hos round it out. Finishes bitter with some spiciness too. Alcohol is noticeable, but not overly so. A good brew.

Sep 13, 2006 Bottle. I was not going to drink tonight, but I saw this in the fridge and said WTF, why not? Pours a hazy golden orange with a white head. Yeasty aroma of dough, grapefruit, pear, spice. As it warms, more alcohol comes out in the nose. Nice mouthfeel and bold malty backbone. Flavor of wheat malt, belgian yeast, citrus, spice. Semi- dry and bitter herbal finish with some chalkiness that diminishes as it warms. The alcohol is detectable, but blends in to compliment the beer. Some warming on the windpipe. Not too bad. Wife liked it better than the 10th.

Sep 5, 2006 Bottle: Clear light copper color with a medium white head. Aroma is citrusy and bready, and not much else. Flavor had a light grapefruit taste to it, some tangyness, a bit of a spice to it as well. The hops were holding up pretty well after a year, quite enjoyable.

Sep 2, 2006 Updated: Dec 5, 2006Man this one was tough. First bottle was way to cold, so i had to open a second. Poured an awesome orange tan color. First smell was a bit like toasty yeasty dough, then it got a bit citrousy and herbal. Initial tast was lively a bit fizzy with bitter peachy finish to it. Great long flavor to this beer.
DrBayern (1135), Morehead City, North Carolina, USA
Aug 30, 2006 Big rocky off white head leaving nice lace over an ever so slightly hazy amber pour. Big hop aroma of pine, citrus, and spice, but hiding underneath is some honey, peach, and apricot. Medium, smooth mouthfeel, light carbonation, and a mildly resinous character. Sweet light toffee, followed quickly by bitter grapefruit, and some peppery spice. Long, bitter finish.
