Oct 25, 2009 Bomber. Appearance: Light golden orange, small off white head. Aroma: Quirky smoke-hops with citrus and banana, yeast and a good amount of champagne! Flavour: Spicy yeast, lots of hops, yum! Flat champagne, yeast, wood, mild carbonation, some tea notes and a beautiful hop finish. Stone hits it out of the ball park again.

Oct 25, 2009 22 oz’er. Nice bright golden amber, almost opaque, and a nice sticky head. The aroma is warm, yeasty and enticing. This drinks with a distinct mustiness one would expect from a French farmhouse ale, sprinkled with a hint of American brewing genius. I’m not quite sure about this one ... (#3715, 10/25/2009)

Oct 25, 2009 Sampled at Flying Saucer’s Second Annual Fall Beer Festival in Austin on October 24, 2009. Super clear amber color, looks like real amber! Bubbly pure white head leaving bubbly lacing that falls fast. Aroma of yeast and light spice with hops. Flavor is hoppy, but has characteristics of a Belgian thanks to the Belgian yeast. Light on the palate, easy finish with lingering yeast. Not bad!

Oct 24, 2009 clear orange, thin foamy white head.
nice mixed aroma of belgian fruit and citrus and pine-y hops.
flavor is fairly mild, orange peel, grass, and candied bitter fruit. long mild bitter finish.
a bit on the thin side, and light carbonation, but good.

Oct 23, 2009 had the stone tastes to it but it also had an unrelenting dryness to it that I liked. It’s yeast tasted banana-ey and clovey, but it was ridiculously crisp. Like, popping taste buds crisp. Great and clean, spirited and lively, but the malt balance seemed gone. Great beer none the less, and an interesting take on a classic.

Oct 18, 2009 This one is just as described: the Stone IPA with Belgian yeast. Nice crispness of the IPA with a little funk of the yeast. A nice variation of a classic.

Oct 18, 2009 Bottle from SL a week or two after having this at a SL rep tasting (but no rating). Quite nice, glad the IPA was the primary style here with the Belgian character in the background. Primarily the Stone IPA (a fav of mine) with some Belgian yeasts and breadiness in the background and a brighter fruity aspect perhaps. A good brew, but somewhat of a rebadge if you were looking for a new creation, as it’s not really that (perhaps that’s a good thing!).
