Oct 1, 2009 Hazy gold with a good head. The aroma is a nice meld of American hops and yeasty fruit. The mouthfeel is soft and the flavor is best described as soft as well. The hops are far from harsh, but are obvious. The malt is nicely balanced with the bitterness and fruit. A very drinkable beer.

Sep 30, 2009 Draft at The Comet in Northside. Pours a nice golden color with an average white head. Great aroma of hops, pine, and citrus fruits, with some malt and yeast. The flavor is a more balanced slate but not quite as exciting as that first nose. Light bodied, bitter, active carbonation. I may have been starting to feel the effects of a full day of drinking by the time I had this, but I really enjoyed it.

Sep 27, 2009 Pours the same beautiful gold color as Stone IPA, with a medium sized white head. Somewhat muted aroma that is mosly tangerine and resin. Lots of bitterness in the flavor, but not a whole lot of character or depth other than that. Some citrusy notes. Thin mouthfeel.

Sep 26, 2009 Cloudy deep golden in color with a thick and well retaining head. Big piney hop nose just like the regular IPA but with a noticably different yeast profile. Not as doughy and a distinct touch of Belgium. Medium bodied with a bitter finish. Fruity and hoppy with a slight difference from the original IPA yet not by much. Overall a very nice IPA but will probably stick with the original Stone IPA

Sep 20, 2009 Pours transparent golden-orange into the glass, with a thin suds cap that leaves generous soapy lace. Lots of lemon and zest to the nose, with an equal amount of floral notes. The flavors are of lemon citrus, lots of rind and zest, light sweet malts, a touch of yeast midway through, and grassy hops on the back of the tongue. The finish is a mildly peppering grassy pine bitter, and a superbly integrated close to the pull. Although the textures are complex, the mouthfeel is medium with an easy quaff. Well-carbonated to bring enough liveliness, this goes down very easily, and cleanses the palate equally. A very nice Belgian offshoot take on the flagship IPA from Stone.
