"Sounds like a hipster gang from the san diego suburbs .. . light honey and light pine cotton candy .. . flavorful fun stuff . . full . . light brett goodness .. . clean, medium bitterness.. a class act .. . Charlie Brown ended up bludgeoning and dismembering Lucy in 1988 , her body was never fully recovered.."

"Another great brew by Stone! I haven't tried their straight IPA yet, but had the Ruination Ale which led me to trying this. I like the Belgian yeast and the characteristics in taste that this brings. Still mostly an IPA versus Belgian, sweet and bitter at the same time. Citrusy, hoppy, malty all creating a nice balance. Appearance is the typical IPA semi-hazy, light orange/gold color. Price is a little steep compared to some of the competition, but worth the try at least once."

"Another winner from Stone brewery. This one is a light golden colored ale. A moderate frothy white head. Settles in a short time leaving a soapy film on the glass and a ringlet atop the beer’s body. The aroma is bold. Floral, citrus hops. A moderate to full bodied beer. Good carbonation helps bring out the beer’s smoothness. The taste is pines, citrus, hops. The sweet malt is there ever so gently. This is not an over powering hoppy ale. It is highly drinkable. "

"Bottle: Poured a clear bright golden color ale with a large foamy head with good retention and some pretty good lacing. Aroma of slightly bitter hops with a light fruity yeast. Taste is also dominated by some light fruity ester with some dry hoppy notes and some neutral malt in the background. Body is full for style with good carbonation and no apparent alcohol. Well done thought there is some better example for this style with better balance between yeast and hops."

[5] Review by Beav from Fort Collins, CO, USA who has tried this beer once. (5/10/2009 2:46:30 AM)
"22 oz bottle. Pours a clear golden orange with a huge creamy white head that retains well and laces the glass.
The aroma is earthy muddy peppery hops and yeast with some bubble gum and cotton candy.
The flavor is lots of flowery soapy spices, bubble gum, and peppery hops with a big bitterness in the finish. A little fruitiness comes out as it warms. The mouthfeel is medium to full and is very velvety and creamy.
Overall, it is interesting and unusual. I didn't really care for the soapy bubble gum and bitter blend. It was a little reminiscent of a British nitro ale."
