Dec 23, 2009 Bottle, Pours a hazy amber with soft effervescent head. Lots of bubbles causes nice lacing. Aroma, Soft hops citrus and spruce. Taste, is mild with pine and spruce and grapefruit aftertaste - some bitterness with dry finish. The hop flavor lingers but never produces the tongue tingle. Its a solid beer but not great

Dec 23, 2009 Clear golden pour with a frothy white head and thick lacing. Appealing floral scent. Rather bitter. Solid IPA.

Dec 22, 2009 Pours a clear, light orange color. Very effervescent and transparent. Pleasant, yet mild aroma. Floral on the nose. Hoppy taste that takes a little time bubbling on the palate to develop, and leaves a nice lingering bitterness. Nicely balanced, all in all pretty darned good.

Dec 21, 2009 Pours a crystal clear straw yellow scarily like macro swill. Smallish snow white head clings and leaves massive lacing. Honestly, looks like Miller Lite. Even my wife said "I thought you don’t drink that cheap stuff." Nose dominate by citrus and malt. Classic one dimensional IPA aroma. Crisp flavor of grapefruit. Strong bitterness at the finish. Lively mouth feel. High carbonation level is just right for the style. A pretty decent IPA. Ugly as hell, but still very tasty.

Dec 21, 2009 One of the Best! Great aroma, solid dark brown Color, great initial taste, along with fantastic aftertaste of bitter hops. One of my top 5, i just with Ruination wasn’t so expensive of I would buy THAT all the time.

Dec 20, 2009 A bit bitter. My wife thought it was sweet. It was kind of bland. Sour aftertaste. Meh.

Dec 19, 2009 Excellent IPA. I have to place it close behind 90 Minute (Dogfish Head). Love the bitters, love the aroma. For me it loses to 90 Minute on palate and finish. I think the higher alcohol content gives 90 Minute the fullness on the palate that the thinner Stone IPA just can’t do. But the higher carbonation of the Stone IPA gives adds a touch to keep it close.

Dec 19, 2009 Surprised I hadn’t rated this before. This rating is from two draft pints at some L.A. restaurant. Nice fresh hop aroma, a little grassy in a nice way. Fruity. Something about the character of the hops, reminiscent of SNPA, that I don’t like, well, I like it, but it’s not my favorite hop profile, flavor wise. Slightly too high carbonation.
