  Golden with some white head. Pretty hazy for a lager.
  This beer smell exactly like apple cider to me.
  It taste a lot like grainy vanilla cream soda.
  Medium body. High carbonation. Tart try finish.
  I have no need for this beer in my life.

  Really hardcore floral aroma. Its like I shoved my head in a flower case at the grocery store.
  Hazy yellow with some orange hues. Minimal white head which is to say there’s a white ring around the edge.
  The flowers are the showcase here. Not sure what to say about it other than I like it.
  Soft with light carbonation.
  Really an interesting beer.

  Pear juice with a real fizzy white head that fades away completely.
  Strong yogurt lactic aroma. Soapy.
  Very sour, yet not offensive.
  Light body. Tongue washed with scrubbing bubbles.
  Not something that I really need to drink again. I’ve read some of the other review and wonder what the hell was I drinking.

  Stone Sublimely Self-Righteous Ale

  I have come to find the the blend of Simcoe and Amarillo smells a lot like Juicy Fruit gum. I love that smell. Blend that with some roasty notes and we have this beer. Smells great.
  3 tones are shown here. Black on top, brown in the middle and dark red at the bottom. It occurs to me that this is becase I’m using a white wine glass (smart). No head which is a let down.
  Sort of a coffee and cream flavor with a with a big bitterness. You can tell that the bitterness is from the roasted grain and hops. Nice.
  Med body with a dry finish.
  I think this is another top hotch hoppy beer from our friends at Stone.

  Heavyweight Saison de la Soeur Spicy

  Very sweet candyish vanilla aroma.
  Amber orange with some off white head.
  Candy sweet, buttered toast, peppery spice.
  Light syrup mouthfeel. I was glad to be able to try this, but I can’t help but to think that it is well past it prime.
