Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 7
Rated in Nov. 2017. 22oz bomber pours with a clear copper body that supports a thin dirty white head of foam that leaves behind some spotty lacing. The aroma offers up flowery sweet pineapple, pink pungent grapefruit, peach and then soft orange fruity candy. The taste delivers peach, flowery tangerine like citrus juiciness and then earthy fruity candy leading to some smooth sweet malts. Interesting hop profile. It is taking time for my palate to adjust to what's going on. Another few sips and papaya and pineapple seem to bubble out from under the flowery fruity earthy hop flavor. Hmmm. The hops seem a little too floral with a bit too much malt underneath. This one, for a change, isn't in my wheelhouse.

Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 7
Pours clear topaz with a thick and lasting eggshell head. Aroma delivers hoppy and malty notes, not strong but inviting. Flavor, fortunately, well exceeds the aroma, featuring strong notes of evergreen hops and zesty fresh malt with a grapefruit underpinning. Mouthfeel offers fair fizz and body. Happy 21st, Stone, and congrats on becoming legal!
