May 7, 2006 IWe drank this side to side with ruination and it was dificult to tell the fdifference between the two, other than a lingering sweetness in the 9th. Golden beer. Stoney, rocked out head. beautiful beer. Very atractive. Nose is hop monster. Stone has a way of hopping things so that the bitterness is chunky and violent at the core, smooth and supple at the edges. All hops and a little bit of sugary sweetness from the wheat. Tartness as claimed in the description is not apparent yet. As it touches the tongue, sweetness is evident first. Maybe a little tart but nothing too powerful. Hops are massive. Wall of cheesy bitterness. All in all a good beer.

May 4, 2006 Bottle: Lightly sweet aroma with lots of citrus and piney hops. Pours a cloudy orange with a nice white with orange tint head that lasts a minute or so. Light sweet citrus up front. Finishes with a touch of spice and huge piney and citrusy hops. Comes across as a super hopped up one-dimensional IIPA. Tons of hops and not enough balance.

May 4, 2006 pours fairly thick light orange with a white head. fantastic floral citrus hop aroma with sweet roasted malt and wheat undertones. flavor sweet and hoppy. flavor reminiscent of a barleywine but the malt is softened by the wheat. body full but carbonation seems fairly fizzy especially on the finish making the beer seem a bit lighter. finish is sweet with a bit of tartness and alcohol. i really liked this one.

May 3, 2006 This was a pleasant surprise last summer. While the term HPA doesn’t exist in some of the more elite beer nerd circles, I will use it in an unbiased fashion here. Yes, Hefe Pale Ale, my friends. Creamy, wheaty and hoppy. All over the course of one sip! How’s that for fan-flippin-tastic? There’s one more store in my hood that still has it but I’m not telling because it’s ALL MINE!

Apr 24, 2006 This bottled brew from 2005 was bought and sampled in 2006 in Indianapolis. It poured an extremely large sized head of foamy mostly lasting fine to medium sized white colored bubbles that left behind a slightly hazy softly carbonated orange colored body with a fine particulate in it and a poor lacing. The aroma was hoppy malty and had a mild caramel note to it. The mouth feel was tingly from the start and strengthened in the finish then mellowed in its aftertaste with a mild malt hop flavor. Overall, the flavor was hoppy with a malty aftertaste.

Apr 20, 2006 great beer starts off like lemony gummy bears and finishes like pine needles.....the alcohol rounds it out and keeps you from pounding this one.....while it is still quite refreshing.........nice
