Stone Brewing Company - Cali - Belgique IPA

Picked this one up a few weeks ago at a local beer store. Then saw it again this afternoon on tap at the Vine Street Pub (Mountain Sun Brewing) so when I got home I decided that this was definitely going to be enjoyed this evening.

Poured from the bottle into a rounded tumbler nice golden color with a thick, sticky, barely offwhite lacy head that really sticks to the glass. Great aromas of hops initially but transitions to a more typical Belgian spicy-malty aroma after some time. Definite crisp piney flavors to go along with the unique Belgian spiciness in the taste as well. Crisp, light bodied feel with a dry aftertaste that lingers. Unique flavors and wonderful aromas, combined with the light feel and relatively low alcohol content lend a hand to make this a very drinkable beer.

Rating: Better
ABV: 6.9%
