It reminds me of Sierra Nevada Harvest or Racer 5. I think that this beer is a fine one and definitely not the one you want to select for the first one of the day. It is strong flavored with hops being the prominent player. Pours with a nice dark color and a long lasting tan head. It smells of hops and earth and alcohol. It is good but it pales in comparison with the Sierra Nevada. Stone does some great work and I like their packaging but sometimes I feel that they put ingredients together strong with little thought to balance just because they feel that is the cool thing to do. A bit more forethought and the brew would be perfect. Brew it and I will drink it.
4 out of 5 points Points for trying such an ambitious hop profile.
