Nov 20, 2009 On tap from the brewery in Escondido. I love plain old Stone IPA, but I *really* enjoyed this Belgian-yeasted version. I am usually not a fan of traditional Belgian ales, but this hop-infused, bastardized Belgian was so pleasing and unique that I took home a growler full. It has since become one of my most desired regular drinkers. Now if they would just ship it to Houston somehow!

Nov 14, 2009 22 oz. bottle shared by Tmoney99. Pours a clear dark golden color with a medium frothy white head. The aroma quickly fills the nose with sweet tropical fruits, citrus, floral hints, caramel, and mild bready malts. The flavor shows all of the west coast notes one would expect: oranges, grapefruits, and light berries, bready malts, some caramel sweetness, and some mild spices. Medium bodied with a slightly slippery mouthfeel.

Nov 10, 2009 Pours a cloudy yellow/orange, with an off white head, creamy with excellent lacing. The aroma is wonderful I could smell hops right after I poured. The flavor is bitter, hops, with a little sweetness kicking in at the end.

Nov 7, 2009 Bouteille de 22 oz. Arômes de houblon américain (agrumes, fruits tropicaux, résine) et on remarque également une pointe de levure épicée. Robe orangée, très légèrement trouble, peu de mousse. Plus près d’une IPA américaine que d’une bière belge, le houblon est très aromatique et expressif (agrumes, fruits). On remarque tout de même une touche de levure légèrement épicée, ce qui engendre une bière un peu moins focusée sur le houblon que leur IPA. Finale bien amère.

Nov 4, 2009 Pours golden orange with a soapy off-white head. The aroma has earthy Belgian yeast, butterscotch, band aid and floral hops. Medium / thin body with some papery traits & biting carbonation. The taste is oxidized with wet cardboard in addition to the aroma traits. The finish is harsh and not very pleasant. This was consumed before the best-by date, but hopefully I can get a fresher bottle to rerate at some point. If they came to MO that would make things easier.
