Tried this at Eli Cannon's in Middletown, CT. Came in a tulip glass with about a half inch of head leaving behind soapy lacing up and down the top of the glass. The color is coppery and golden. The aroma presents a pronounced resinous and citrus scent. The taste is light on the hops, but promising in its citrus peel back notes. Decent IPA.

On tap. Poured a clear, golden orange color with a small, white head of foam. It smelled of pine, orange, grapefruit and toasted caramel. Strong piney bitterness with orange and sweet caramel.

Kegged 02/05/18, on draft @ Loosa Brews AL.
Deep orange color, translucent and with soft white head that rises minimally to the top of the glass. Wispy remnants float on top in small archipelagos.
Great aromatic nose of sweet malt, citrus, and pithy hops. Balanced, with that citrusy backbone mellowing the malt while leaving room for those piney hops to round it out in the finish.
A true-to-character Stone IPA. Piney, resinous hops characterize the palate, with a return of citrus peel and a mildly floral hop linger. No bad taste left behind in its wake.
Medium-bodied beer with a sharp carbonation and a good amount of residual sticky mouth-coating.
