The pour is golden-orange, with a floral, grapefruit, hoppy aroma. The taste has a medium hops bite, with a flowery, alcohol, and not real exciting yeast flavor. Sadly, this didn’t impress me very much. I might have been expecting too much from Stone, though.

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.

Dec 21, 2009 Golden pour with a moderate white head. Aroma is sweet and yeasty, a little fruit and spice. Flavor is slightly sweet, spicy and with a bit of a hop bite.
Very drinkable and another winner from Stone.

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.
