One of my favorites. Lots of hop aroma for a "micro brewery" and lots of hop flavor. Golden and slightly hazy with moderate head and good retention and a body to support it. Love Stone beers.

Dec 16, 2009 I really liked this beer and it had a very complex blend of bitterness and hops that it was an excellent choice for anyone that is wanting to taste a very good IPA and get into beer tasting and rating

Dec 16, 2009 Pours from bottle clear pale yellow-orange, with a nice bubbly head. Very nice earthy hop aroma, not to overpowering. Smooth, hoppy, and a nice bitter bite. Finishes leaves a watering mouth. Very balance beer, malt and hop, hop and malt, this is a very nice IPA.

Dec 14, 2009 Growler. Super-solid IPA. Pours a nice, light orange-gold with a fine white head. Heavy aroma of bitter hops, noting pine and citrus. Flavor is a hop roller coaster: exciting and exhilarating. (None of the experience made me want to hurl, mind you.) Very mild hints of malt. Alcohol is almost undetectable. Bitter, crisp, lip-smacking finish with lingering hops on the tongue. Really, really good.

Dec 13, 2009 Drank from bottle at a Christmas party. Nice IPA with a little citrusy sweetness, hints of spices, and a nice hoppy bitterness. Well balanced and enjoyable.

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 9, 2009 Tap. Golden orange with slightly off white head. Aromas of pine and grapefruit. Flavors of caramel, pine, and grapefruit. Soft mouthfeel. The benchmark IPA.

Dec 8, 2009 floral hops along with a great malt foundation. a prime example of a west coast ipa. an old stand-by.

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.
