Aug 14, 2009 Bottle. Golden? pour, was dark not quite sure of color, with nice head. Decent Belgian ale with slight hop influence. Alright beer definitely not the best they make. Would prefer if they characterized this as a belgian ale instead of an ipa though.

Aug 13, 2009 Light copper body and wonderful ivory head in retention. The aroma is undeniably STONE IPA, but a twist…. Spicy esters, mango, guava, grapefruit… the dry-hopping is SO fresh and aromatic that it’s near euphoric! Yet the phenols are a bit shrill.
The flavor is tropical fruit and citrusy zest. Sticky palate, Ahhh…. I’m in love!

Aug 13, 2009 (draft at Trinity in Colorado Springs, CO) Clear copper color. Medium off white head. Strong hop aroma. Spicy hop flavor. Long duration. Light bitter finish. Slick texture. Moderate carbonation. Good lacing.

Aug 13, 2009 Botle. Pours a faintly hazy gold with thin off white head. Aroma is classic Stone IPA, but with hints of the belgian yeast and fruitiness. Flavor is dominated by citrusy and piny hops, though there are some fruity notes buried in the background. Finish is dry and lightly bitter and spicy. This one was good, managing to maintain mostly the profile of an IPA but with an added belgian character that adds to the flavor without confusing it.

Aug 12, 2009 Nice copper color with a creamy head. A little on the sweet side and slightly fruity taste for an IPA. I thought it was good but I prefer two hearted ale hands down.

Aug 10, 2009 Sampled as part of a 22oz bottle. Pours light yellowish brown. A very crisp brew. Very little head on it. The aroma is very malty. A really interesting IPA but more like a strong ale. Pretty good brew and worth a try.

Aug 8, 2009 A golden IPA with a thin white head. Mix of C-hops, coriander, herbs and fruity esters in aroma. In mouth, very maltuy with good restrained c-hops, light spiced notes, more IPA than Belgian. Medium bodied. Tap at BCTC 2009

Aug 7, 2009 This is a good, Turkey Sandwich beer, or a Grilled Chicken. It would also go well with Buffalo wings. Call me weird but Give me some Cold Green Apples and a bottle of this on a summers day, and I would be happy
I has to Choose between and A normal IPA and a Belgian IPA, the Belgian would always win. I am not the biggest fan of IPA’s but I really did enjoy this
