| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 1, 2005 22 oz bottle. Pours cloudy light orange color with medium white head. Aromas of citrus and grapefruit. Tastes like an IPA with citrus and grapefruit and little bit of graininess in the finish. I agree this is a lot like 3F Gumballhead. Very good. .

| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Mar 7, 2006 This beer introduces itself with an aroma consisting of hops, pine, and apple. It is an apricot colored solution with a thick cream colored head. This moderately heavy beer fills the mouth with a robust flavor of hops that turns mildly sweet before transforming into the apple taste that lingers. mkgrenwel (420), Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Sep 20, 2006 This is OK. Looks great in the glass. Flavor is not as fantastic. Lots of hops. I thought I tasted amarillo, and the site’s notes confirm this. Full bodied. Spicy and peppery. Fruity in all sorts of ways. Pear sounds good, particularly with the alcohol. Lots of alcohol, actually, considering the abv. Somewhat similar to a tripel in certain characteristics. A little apple flavor in there as well. really just an OK beer. I like the fact that Stone is willing to try new things, but a high alcohol (or even a medium alcohol) wheat beer just doesn’t do it for me.

| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Oct 16, 2005 The aroma was big and full of grain, citrus, and alcohol esters. The flavor was grainy, slight honey note and oranges. The beer poured an orangish brown color w/ slight head and lacing. The mouthfeel was light to medium bodied and no carbonation. sucked.

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Feb 6, 2006 Orangey color, fruity aroma and a slighty fruity flavor which seems uncharacteristic for Stone. I have yet to have a bad Stone beer, I like them all. This one is good, but not in my top of the Stone arsenal. Lingering wheaty aftertaste and the alcohol flavor seems to be right at the top.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Apr 7, 2009 Poured orange with a white head. Aroma of alcohol and lemons. Some hop flavor left but mostly oxidized. Some caramel. jmikolich (405), Athens, Ohio, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jun 6, 2007 I dont see wheat here, from the 22oz bottle with around 1.5 years on it, but i do see a faded IPA/ Barleywine combo with some mix of hops with a very distinct sweetness pretty thick stuff, but im glad i waited til now to drink it.
