Sep 15, 2005 Updated: Nov 13, 2006Rerate 11/13/06: Pours has a good amount of white foam. Aroma still has a health dose of citrusy hops. Body is somewhat oxidized but has good complexity of sweet caramel malt. Has lost some of its hop sharpness, and is probably past its prime. but is still quite drinkable.
Original rating 9/15/05: Pours a lightly hazy copper orange with a frothy and well-lacing white head. Nice fresh crisp hoppy aroma has some sweet crystal malt and grainy wheat. Body starts with a nice candy malty sweetness and good mild citrusy and piney hops. Finishes sugary, semi-bitter, earthy and lightly warming. An interesting and enjoyable beer.

Sep 26, 2005 Tasty fresh hoppy wheat - this has the kind of hop going on that I had hoped Gumball head would’ve had. Tangy sweet and citrus. Assertive all around, but believe it or not, Rockinout’s American Indian Wheat was far hoppier than this. Loved the citrus, pine, floral aromas. 2nd bottle tasted a little sweeter (but it was also served a little warmer, so that could explain it). I’ll taste a few more of these while they’re fresh.

Sep 12, 2005 Poured a hazy orange wth a small off-white head. Aroma of citrusy swet lemon. The citrus aroma seems to be more from malt than from hops. Aroma is thick. Malty sweet flavors. Citrusy with an acidic and bitter finish. Pretty tasty. I wish it came in 6 packs.

Sep 21, 2005 Golden yellow in color with a nice white fluffy head. Fresh piney hoppy aroma. Sweet citrusy malty and hoppy flavor. Not enough body. Finish is hoppy. You get lots of hops and little malt. Not balanced.

Dec 22, 2005 Room filling aroma of orange and floral hops. Beautiful bright and crystal clear orange with a huge, firm white head that vanishes, leaving lacing on the side of the glass. Sweet orange taste, not much malt, but a long and ver bitter finish should keep any kid from confusing this for some sweet orange drink. Description says it’s a wheat beer. I don’t get any haze or other tell tales of a wheat beer. Originally I gave it a 14 overall, but it started to grow on me. Not quite like Ruination ... but a striaghtforward hop meister from Stone.

Apr 18, 2006 Pours hazy orangish straw with a huge white head of soapy large bubbles the slowly fades. Aroms is sticky caramel malt blended hops of mild pine, citrus, and peach. Flavor is soft but sticky caramel, apricotm mild pine and citrus. Finish was dry then I thought it would be from the sweet maltiness in the foreflavor making it more drinkable then the front of my tongue predicted. Body is medium, palate is kept light and flowing by a fine carbonation.

Dec 18, 2005 12/16/05: Bottle.
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.

Sep 20, 2005 Gold color with a lasting white head. Aroma is fresh spicy & piney hops. Tastes like a toned down Ruination, as the hops jump right at you. The malts follow with a lot of sweet citrus, mostly tangerine. Nice lacing throughout. Color seems a bit light for the category but oh well. Although the malt flavors are sweet and the hops are tangy & chewy, there’s no balance. You really get one or the other. Maybe anothr month or two will mesh the flavors.
