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.

Dec 20, 2009 Pours a clear, light-to-medium golden from the 22oz. bottle: Great white, foamy head retention and mildly carbonated which helps to relase sharp aromas of tangerine citrus and other tropical fruits, green fresh hops. Tastes of chewy bread dough, pine sap, white grapefruit, and pepper. Pale malts and yeast play within a lightly textured sweetness and mild bittering finish. Drinkability: Delicious. Rebuy: Yes. #243 on 20122009, DG.

Dec 15, 2009 On draft at RFD in DC. Hazy golden color with an off-white head. Flavor is citrus with, yes, a belgian yeasty note. Props for originality but I didn’t care for it.

Dec 14, 2009 12/10/09 (From bomber, aroma of grapefruit, bubble gum and citrus . . . the Belgian yeast is blending well with the American hops! Flavor is hoppy, minerally, with a “candy hop” essence. Palate is clean, medium-light in body, with a lingering semi-bitter finish. This beer is better than I remember, a worthy addition to the Stone IPA family.

Dec 14, 2009 Coppery-amber-golden pour. Nose is very spicy...an abundance of Belgian fruity yeasty esters. Very strong caramel amlt bottom anchoring the intense PNW hoppiness in the finish. The Belgian fruity yeast works very well in adding some spic notes to the typical pine resin and grapefruit hop qualities. Very good.
