Golden hue with a pure white thin head that holds surprisingly well. Thin random spots of lace.
Nose is floral and fruity hops. A lot more hops than I expected a year and two months after release. Bubblegum and maybe some peaches sneaking into this aroma. The wheat is there but hidden by tons and tons of hops.
Is this Stone 9th or Gumballhead? Wheaty with TONS of hops. Is Stone sure this one is only 50 IBUs? Lots of fruit and floral hops rocking the mouth and palate. It finishes dry (hoppy) and spicy (maybe from the wheat?). Gorgeous beer.
Many thanks to Mschae1017 for sharing a bomber of this bad boy. Mmmm mmmm mmmm.

This is not a 2015 review. This review is from found notes from tasting this beer shortly after it was released.
