Aroma:
Smells as close to a wet hop as I've ever experienced. Underneath is the apricot/orange aroma indicative of american hops.
Appearance:
A clear but just slightly hazy reddish mahogany with a white a quick fading head.
Taste:
Despite the aroma this is not hop bomb. The initial flavor is that of candied apricots. A thicker mouthfeel promotes this sweetness. In fact there is just a small bitterness to it, very balanced with just a hint of citrus rind. The fruity experience carries into a lingering sweet aftertaste.
Overall:
The first thing I noticed was the malt base, very unusual for the Stone brewery. However it works well with there 13 anniversary offering. This is a very complex and fruity beer. Despite it's higher strength there is no alcohol bite. This is a great desert beer. Grab yours while it is still out.
