Jul 8, 2006 Pours a cloudy orange with a thin dissapating head.Grains and malt shooting thru.Has nice flavor but the finish gets clumped up on the back of your throat, otherwise pretty damn good.

Flavor has some IPA caramelly malt, some bittering hop edge, sweet spicy yeast and flowers give it a very light belgian feel. Perfumed honey wheat sweetness. Very rounded, crisp, good beer.

Nov 30, 2007 Had this beer on 4/30/2006. Aroma is light with only faint hints of hops to it. Color is a bright, lightly hazy gold with very good carbonation and a nice tight head. Taste is light, fresh and bitter. Starting with a medium body it goes down with a crisp feel. Finish comes out of this crisp feel with a full sharp bitterness and just a faint maltyness. Overall I think its good although it is very bitter its a drinkable and well balanced beer.

Apr 5, 2008 bottle from spinkle methinks....pours a clear bubbly orange brown with a moderate creamy white head.... aromas of grassy light earthy hops and sweet sugary malt..... flavors start along the malt front and then quickly shifs to some grassy bitterness which lingers on well through the finish. mouthfeel is nice and the mild carbonation level works pretty well with this beer.

Sep 19, 2005 Lemon candy, sugar, bitter, hoppy, soapy nose. Also some alcohol coming through. Hazy off golden color. Medium head that lasts. Really bitter with a golden hops presence. Notes of orange peel and citrus. Cookie and malt flavors balance things out.

Oct 3, 2006 Sept 2005 bottle (obviously because this is their anniversary) tasted same day as this review. Aroma of sweet malt, spices, alcohol, and that aroma that every other stone has (you know what I mean). Medium to dark golden color with off-white creamy head. Flavor is fruity with caramel, spices, piney hops, and a bit of an alcohol finish. Good beer, but honestly not that great for a stone.

May 12, 2009 Bottle at the “Drink for Charity” event at Rattle & Hum thanks to Mike who brought a vertical from 2nd to 12th. Pours a hazy apricot color with a thin white head. Lots of plums, prunes, and a bit of caramel. Nice soft carbonation on here, but it doesn’t mask the oxidization. Finishes with a light bitterness.

Mar 10, 2007 22oz. bomber: I found this in the back of the fridge, and was surprised that I hadn’t rated it yet. It pours an almost clear, darker golden color. Maybe a twinge of orange in it. The aroma is very good. A big shot of hops, like you would expect from Stone. Mainly grapefruit and pine, but also some grassy notes. The taste was solid. A fine malt body behind the beer, although perhaps a bit more delicate (for lack of a better description) than most of their other brews. Decent balance to the hops. I could drink a few more of these.
