Oct 25, 2009 (Bottled) Poured orange and hazy. Head was medium sized and white. The aroma was strongly hoppy and also fruity. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. The dominant component in the taste was hop flavour. In addtion to that there were malts, fruitiness, pine and bitternes. Hoppiness continued in the long lasting aftertaste. Really good IPA. I had this later from tap but I didn’t rerate it.

Oct 24, 2009 On tap at The Barley Oak, Mandeville La. Light amber color with a medium sized but persistent head. Floral aroma. A great one for the hop heads (like me). Very hoppy, bitter, yet clean and crisp. Hoppy finish.

Oct 23, 2009 Bottle. Pale and diaphanous like a spiced blond with an uneven, tufting whip of suds; some serious thick Belgian condition pushing a perfect 5 for looks and feel...Aroma immediately greener and leafier than the Mikkeller JB I’ve just seen off; tomato leaf on the pop, becoming piney, lemon sherbet and tangerine-accented. Buttery sweet malt and a good wring of green like BrewDog’s paler efforts, especially The Punk; resins, pine, pollen, mellow lemon sherbet and soapy hop with a hint of orange zest; vanilla and cheesecake base malt, a little alcohol harshness (fair game at 6.9%); tweak of lime in the afters and some fantastic green hop on the burp. Raspy bitterness, balanced. If this was a quid a bottle in Tesco, I’d be downing it like The Dog. Give it 12 months. Quality.

Oct 22, 2009 Bitterness that mashes your tastebuds into a sort of shock, this IPA ropes up big bold flavors and top tier hoppiness. Rich and effortlessly bombastic as the Stone company itself, this ale is hearty, rich and refuses to pull any punches.

Oct 21, 2009 22oz bottle. Poured a clear golden ambe with a two finger, foamy eggshell white head. A huge piney and citrus HOP aroma. The taste has a brief sweet malt presence that is quickly smashed by the big floral hop flavor. It finishes with a nice bitterness and a citrus kick. A great IPA.

Oct 20, 2009 Bottle. Poured a hazy orange color with an off white head that went quick. Aroma was citrus hops and floral hops. Flavor was a lot of hops. Very well balanced though. A sweeter ipa. Very good. Love this IPA.

Oct 16, 2009 1 pint 6 oz. Bottle. Pours Golden/Amber; head is thick and foamy. Citrus hops dominate the aroma with flavors of lemon and orange. A sensation...more citrus flavors with the swallow; lemons dominate...somewhat sweet, lightly bitter...an everyday beer with a top notch taste. A classic...
