Sep 10, 2007 10/3/05. Bomber. Hazy golden with large creamy white head. Grapefruit and floral hop aroma. The hop bitterness overpowered the banana of the wheat.

Sep 7, 2007 Pours pale orange with medium white head. Sweet citrus aroma. Flavor was quite sweet with fruits and hops mixed in and finishes was some bitterness.

Sep 7, 2007 almost tasted like a weak IPA. the "weak" part being in the hop-ness and aroma vs. a standard IPA. since its not really even supposed to be, i loved the twist on this.

Sep 3, 2007 Sept. 2005 rating - Poured a pale orange color with HUGE head and lacing that clung to the glass. The aroma was sweet and citrusy and the taste was similar. Nice sweet malty taste with loads of hops...well balanced. My first Stone tasting...hope I can get my hands on more of this stuff.

pours opaque orange with a nice fine white head, sweet citrus aroma, light body, big bitter hop flavor on a slightly sweet malt base, sweet, tart, fruity, bitter, repeat, lots of fruity malt character, nice bitter finish that becomes a bit astrengent, after warming it starts to balance out a bit but still a wide gap between the bitter hops and light malt

Aug 25, 2007 (22 oz. bottle ("September 2005") via trade with <A HREF=http://www.ratebeer.com/ViewUser.asp?UserID=30668 target=blank>IrishBoy, thanks Richard!, cellared for 7 mos. after trade) Soft and hoppy...Pours cloudy light amber with 2 1/2 fingers of sturdy, level off-white head that recedes to about 1/4". Aroma is grapefruit rind and pine, light caramel underneath. Mouthfeel medium-full, quite soft, perhaps a touch of stickiness. Sturdy curtain of lacing inside glass. Flavor is quite piney and grapefruity upfront with some caramel maltiness emerging underneath. Piney through finish, along with some alcohol burn. Has kind of a big IPA feel. Enjoyed it.

Jul 24, 2007 light orangey copper with nice full head of pit fruit and caramel. medium watery body and active carbonation. very fruity with an apparent caramel malt and bitterness but definitely are not the main players. lots of alcohol on the finish. good but i like the 10th better

Jul 23, 2007 Pours a slightly hazed amber with a nice creamy, thick head. There’s still a nice fresh hoppiness in this, a mix of spruce and apricots. The flavor isn’t small, but there’s something watery about it. Nicely balanced with good hop character.
