A-Hazy yellow with a soapy white head and good lacing
S-Acidic aroma with a hint of prune, sour grape and green apple. Layer of wine must lingers as well
M-Medium to higher end carbonation, peppery mouthfeel with an alcoholic burst
T-Very tart and sour flavours lead to an assertive bitterness that isn’t overly pleasing
O-No thank you, sorry. Leans to the sour style on many levels.

Can from the store in Norwich
Hazy orange amber color with a rocky white head that persists.
Tropical fruity with bits of creamy sweet bread. Light sherry oxidation and earthy grassy notes. Pretty good.

Picked-up a four-pack of cans at an unknown gs station in Waitsfield, Vermont for an unknown amount. My first brew from these guys. Not good.

From a 16 oz can dated 06/12/20. Sampled Aug 11, 2020.
Above average looking golden pour with some cloudiness and a quick fading white head.
There are pungent aromas of fruit but what I really get us perfume and musk. Some grains.
Medium, modestly smooth body
It is 7 weeks old so some of the fruit hops have faded in the sweet, grainy, then fruity taste. Mild bitterness ends it.

Really liked this - it poured a dark orange with a nice white head, much darker than you'd expect for an IPA, and the head faded pretty quickly. Not much in the nose either. But the taste really blew me away - there was some amazing yeast presence, almost a soft bubble gummy Belgian candy thing going on that made me think of one of my homebrew recipes. Just couldn't drink it faster! I didn't get much in the way of hops, and it was more malty than your typical IPA so I'd call this more of a hybrid of some sort, but really worth trying. Only had a single can and it's the first of Stone Corral's beers I've tried, but look forward to trying more. Cheers!

A good overall beer. I think Bad Rooster is a nice hybrid IPA. Similar to California or Delaware produced, but with a Vermont flair. A little darker in color than other VT IPA’s
Good balanced flavor with a nice infusion of hops but it’s the addition of the malt that really separates it from other VT style IPA.
Worth trying and worth using to expand your palate
