Dec 20, 2005 Nice NW hop aroma emanating from this clear amber brew. The tall, solid dense head does some serious lacing as it dissolves. I’m not getting any wheat out of this well hopped ale, but that’s cool, since wheat ales (excepting hefeweizens) aren’t favorite styles of mine. Basically, this comes across as an aggressive APA, and I like that in a beer. <font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Places/ShowPlace.asp? Stop, Highland, IN<font size=-1>

Dec 19, 2005 Clear amber-gold color with a small off-white head. The aroma and flavor were strong with citrusy hops, but also had a nice fruitiness in the background...alcohol came through a little too much. The feel was very crisp with a dry finish. I’m a little disappointed with the past two anniversary beers. When are they gonna do an imperial stout anniversary ale?

Dec 19, 2005 Aroma has sweet citrusy hops. Pale orange/yellow in color with a firm two finger thick white head. Flavor is all hops..from resiny pine to citrus and grapefruit rind and naught else. Incredibly bitter.

Dec 19, 2005 Bottle from Whole Foods, San Diego - shared with HogTownHarry, blankboy, tupalev & jerc. Bright amber with a good sized head. Both aroma and flavour have lots of sprucey hops, with enough sweet malt to back things up. This is a solid beer, but a bit simple for a special anniversary offering. Hopefully, they’ll drop something amazing for the 10th.

Aroma is fresh and loaded with hops. Body is an orange tan color with a rich head. Lacing clings to glass. Ample hop flavor with some citrus; also very fresh. Another great Stone brew.

Dec 17, 2005 Bottle shared with Hogtown Harry, Jerc, Blankboy, and GregClow, courtesy of GregClow. Strong hops and malt and some alcohol in powerful and pleasing aroma. Golden orange, small white head. Light frothy mouthfeel. Strong hop taste - very pine like - lovely. Thin body. Simple, but tons of hops and I like it.

Dec 16, 2005 Thanks SecretSanta. Pours orangish-yelllow with a small head that quickly dissipates. Aroma is like a really hoppy IPA. Flavor is a combination of IPA with added wheat and rye. Had this on cask at Falling Rock before GABF- the start to a really good day.

Dec 16, 2005 Golden orange body, with a small creamy white head that fades. Fruity aroma with mild citrusy hops., muted touch of caramel. Fairly intense hops, lots of resin with a touch of grapefruit/lemon rind. Bit unbalanced, but interesting. Average palate.
