Jan 18, 2006 "Poured a hazy, yellow orange color with a massive head which left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma was of sweet and citrus. Tasted very much like a doubleipa. Overall very nice, just wouldn’t call it a strong ale."

Oct 4, 2005 Updated: Nov 14, 2005Sampled at Falling Rock during GABF. Poured from a Firkin at high red wine temp. Hazy yellow orange with small suspended particles with a minimal but lingering head. The aroma was floral and citrusy. Generally light. The flavor had key limes, grapefruit, wheat, caramel, a light sweetness and a pine bitter finish. Body was syrupy and overall heavy. This was good, but I’m wondering if wasn’t served too warm.
Bottle sample. Re-rated at a cooler temp. Better take on the aroma this time around with sweet wheat, caramel and citrus (orange). Nothing new to note with appearance. Enjoyed the falvor at a cooler temp. though I made the same flavor notes. I did increase my flavor and score one point.

Oct 30, 2005 Bought this bottle at BevMo in San Diego, CA. Foggy orange pour with a decent white lacing head. Caramel, citrusy hops, and a somewhat zingy aroma. Nice, hoppy flavor. One of the better Stone Beers I’ve had.

Sep 15, 2005 Inviting grapefruit/citrus hop nose nearly overpowers the toasty wheat, which is only slightly evident in the aroma. While the combo works OK in the nose, it becomes muddled in the body. Loads of hop bitterness clash with the smoothness of the wheat, creating dirty off flavors that don’t seem to fit this ’clean’ beer. Wet dirt is one I keep getting in the finish. The heavy mouthfeel doesn’t help either. The loads of citrusy hops are overpowering throughout and just don’t synch with the wheat (and yeast) for me. I would take their near perfect IPA any day of the week and twice on Sunday over this.

Sep 6, 2005 Great beer for hop heads. Color is clear bronze with minimal white head. Aroma is hops, wheat, grass, and hops. Taste is very similar. It is similar to an Imperial IPA, but the wheat and malt temper the hops so there is all the flavor, without the bitter bite. Long hop finish with alcohol burn. I really liked this beer.

Oct 29, 2005 Slightly herbal nose with some mustiness and sour apple. Beautiful golden in appearance with a huge head and oozing lace. Crisp and sharp flavor, lemon with bread, not real yeasty, with some perfumy hops. Thickens as it warms. Interesting…

Dec 14, 2006 Updated: Oct 26, 2007Bottle from Santa. cloudy light gold with not head. This beer smelled great but have very ordinary taste. The flavors almosted seemed subdued. The grapefuit hop flavor was present but it seemed muted by the strange malty taste. I drank most the majority of the bottle, the rest went to my dog.
