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.

Dec 28, 2009 (bottle - 22 oz) Hazy orange pour with a thick and lasting off-white head. Aroma is a nice combination of floral and citrusy hops and that very distinct Belgian spicy yeast aroma. Flavor is floral and yeasty at the beginning with a peppery middle before the yeast takes back over and leaves some mild spice on the palate. Finishes with a lingering bitterness and a dry and lasting yeast flavor. Rather nice.

Dec 28, 2009 Bottle. Golden orange with a white head. Lovely aroma with sweet citric hops, tropical fruits, and a hint of pine. The flavor brings more piny and citric hops, some lighter spicy notes, and a nice lasting bitterness. Solid.

Dec 26, 2009 Hazy orange, frothy off-white head. Aroma- pine, orange, sweet grapefruit. Taste is a good balance of bitter and sweet caramel but leans sweet initially then fading into a bitter finish. Very thin syrupy body that coats the mouth.

Dec 25, 2009 Growler filled at Stone. Christmas afternoon. Nose is hoppy and Belgian yeast. Bright golden color from the growler with strong white head. Wonderfully light and sharp and flavorful at the same time. After a bunch of big winter/Christmas brews this was a really welcome change of pace.

Dec 23, 2009 On tap at The Davis Graduate
Appearance: Light golden/yellow with little to no head
Aroma: Grapefruit and some funky flavors
Taste: Wow, I don’t know if this keg went bad or contaminated lines. I would hope this isn’t what it is suppose to taste like, it was pretty bad. I took it back.

Dec 22, 2009 Bottle. Pour was medium golden with a nice light white head. Aroma was of spicy hops, sweet malt, and light grapefruit. The flavor held a dominant citrus character balanced nicely with mellow, well blended hops. The body of the beer was medium light and very drinkable. This was one of the better IPAs I have had.

Dec 21, 2009 Bottle 22oz. - Poured light honey color with medium white head.
Aroma - Yeasty barnyard scent along with grassy citrus hops.
Flavor - Has this barnyard/wet hay taste mixed with grassy/resin hops.
Palate - medium bodied beer and has sticky texture. Decent carbonation with bitter finish. Grassy and somewhat dry hop taste lingers for a long time.
Overall - I prefer the original IPA version over this. This beer has a funky taste that is not entirely bad but just different than original. I also think alcohol stands out more in this IPA, seems more like 8 or 9% ABV.

Very drinkable and another winner from Stone.
