| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jun 21, 2009 Pours a hazy dark amber. Flavor is nice, citrus hopy bitterness. Kinda reminds me of a less intense IPA. Overall a good brew, exactly what you should expect from a Stone beer. troopie (897), USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jun 21, 2009 Draught. Deep amber with frothy white head. Citrusy and roasty aroma. Malt flavour, with hop, citrus bitterness balancing. Lasting hop finish. Actually tasted stronger than it is. This would make a good session beer. surffisher (196), Raleigh, North Carolina, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jun 20, 2009 12 oz. bottle. Pours clear reddish-brown with a short off-white head. Very hoppy aroma - citrus and spruce. Roasty malt flavor upfront, but quickly overpowered with lots of bittering and finishing hops. Dry, bitter finish. Medium-light bodied and pretty smooth with moderately low carbonation. Lots of flavor for a relatively low ABV beer. Enjoyable. dkoonce (889), People’s Republic of Athens, Ohio, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jun 20, 2009 Bottle. Pours a deep copper brown, with a loose, cream colored head. Excellent hop bouquet, with pine and citrus aromas. Lighter in body than anticipated, with a bit of flat malt in the finish. Goodgrief (1161), Middletown, Delaware, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jun 17, 2009 Beer pours with a fluffy head and a beautiful amber/copper color. The aroma was prominant hoppage, but the flavor was a fairly balanced amber ale, full of caramel with some citrusy hops that may have been a little hoppier than a typical amber, but not as much as I expected from this one. A fairly good session beer, even though there are equally enjoyable options at a lesser price tag. tgncc (838), Bellmore, New York, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Jun 17, 2009 The aroma is a mix of caramel malts, and earthy hops. The appearance is a dark amber, clear, off-white head. The flavor is earthy, citrusy, caramel. The finish is grapefruit hoppy. Thin/medium mouthfeel. Not bad overall, nothing to write home about.

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jun 16, 2009 12oz bottle. Pours a clear, darker orange body with a finger-width, dirty tan head that dissipates slowly and leaves lots of layered lacing. Lots of pale caramels, but still dense and aggressive earthy bitterness. Flavor is thinner pale malts, semi-sweet caramels with a very dense earthy bitterness. A real subdued aggression from the hops. Palate is light, but sustaining with a fairly dry, moderate linger. Overall, a nice tasting, lower ABV beer offered from Stone. Somethings a little off IMO, but still maintained lots of hop taste. Enjoyable. drseusszb200 (215), Florida, USA
