4.9% tap pour at Stone Liberty Station into a tall tulip glass where it exhibits a dark body that has thin mahogany edges and supports a tan head of foam that leaves behind sheet lacing. The aroma is nice and roasty with dark roasted malts mixing with pine hops and a thin citrus hop note. The taste is similar with dark roasted malts, pine hops and a touch of citrus hops that adds a pleasing depth to the sessionable brew. It comes across fresh and snappy and the hops create a dangerously sessionableness out of the experience. Loved it.

On draught at Stone World Bistro & Gardens in Escondido. The beer pours a slightly hazy orange-gold color with a medium foamy white head that diminishes gradually. Partial rings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of citrus, hops and malt. Medium-bodied with flavors of hops, grapefruit and caramel malt. The finish is moderately bitter with a citrusy hops aftertaste. Above average overall.
