The bottle poured out a cloudy yellow body with a two finger high off-white head. The bubbles were quite lively and the head dissipated to a thick and sticky lace that lasted for the whole beer. The initial aroms were of citrus and pine hops. There was a malt sweetness with light fruits, and a distinct dryness. The initial flavors were of heavy amounts of resin and pine, citrus fruits, and finished with grains. The flavors were straight to the point and made it known that you were drinking a Stone. The brew was dry and bitter and had a medium body with medium carbonation.

Overall, this is a great beer from Stone. I think they made it really stick to the Stone name. Definitely find this one.

Bottle Poured in a 16oz Goose Island Glass

Appearance: Golden Yellow with a solid thin head. The lacing is maintained when tilting the glass.

Smell: Piney, citrusy, and lemon

Taste: Very Citrusy with a burst of Hops. It is nice and piney with lemon.

Mouthfeel: thin bodied with highly carbonated

Overall: One of my favorites IPA by far. It is pretty aggressive with the hops, but not as much as Ruination. It is fairly well balanced.
