A: Pours a nice golden yellow color with a head that looks like whipped egg whites. There are a few bubbles racing too the top, and some beautiful lacing left behind.
S: This one has a nice big aroma. I poured it into my De Verboden Vrucht chalice which let the aroma waft into the air. There is a wonderful citrus aroma here. I smell grapefruit, limes, and lemon, with an underlying touch of pine.
T: I love every Stone beer I have ever tried and this one is no exception. It starts out with a splash of citrus and the bite of some of the earths most wonderful hops. It finishes with a nice sweetness as it runs down my throat.
M: Medium bodied with a nice bite from the hops.

Dec 7, 2009 One of the best IPA’s I know of. Wonderful from start to finish. It’s not overly hoppy like some IPA’s tend to be but it doesn’t fall flat either.

Dec 7, 2009 12 oz. bottle from The Party Source. Pours a mostly clear gold with a medium off-white head that leaves a lot of lacing behind. Hoppy aroma, with notes of caramel, grapefruit citrus, malt, pine, floral notes. Bitter, hoppy flavor, with notes of pine, soap, grapefruit, caramel malts. Light bodied, and bitter hops characterize it. Moderate carbonation. Dry, bitter finish. I had higher expectations for this one, which is still very good, but a little one-note.

Dec 6, 2009 Wow... I have heard that this was a good one and it’s true. Poured great leaving a nice head that didn’t disappear two sips in. Had a wonderfully hoppie aroma and taste that was very satisfying but not overpowering. Good to the last drop, thank goodness that I has 5 more. This is a road that will be traveled again... soon!

Dec 2, 2009 Updated: Dec 4, 2009ྫྷ ounce bottle - pint glass) Golden dark yellow color, light head that leads to a light lacing. Awsome grapefruit hoppy aroma which any hophead will love. Taste is hoppy with a light malt that is only there to give it balance. The hops are grassy, floral and citrusy. Has a somewhat lively carbonation. Hoppy aftertaste so you know you just drank a beer. If you are a hop head you should try this beer.

Dec 1, 2009 Crisp with a definite cereal taste. Hops have only a medium bite . color is dark yellow. The flavors do not linger much on the tongue. A starter Stone beer for sure.
