Darned lack of western Canadian tikiphiles.

The Stone 04.04.04 Vertical Epic Ale "Think Belgian-style triple," begins Stone Head Brewer Lee Chase, "but with some unmalted wheat and a dash of Indonesian Kaffir Lime Leaf. The result is a bit like a strong golden Bier de Garde / Saison-esque influenced beer coupled with some aromatic Bavarian hefeweizen-style phenolic banana esters, and a backnote hint of lime from the lime leaf," continues Chase.

The ale's amber to red with a white, rocky head. It's in the American Pale Ale style so Hops predominate the nose & back of the beer, but there's malt in the middle, maybe Crystal or Caramel Malt? It's definately better than what Alesmith used to brew when they 1st started. I was tempted to get a bottle of their Speedway Stout, too, but @ $10 for a 750 ml bottle I passed. It's in a league of it's own: Coffee Imperial Stout, @ 12% ABV & a cup of coffee per bottle it's the Speedball of beers!

This event will go on until Saturday, draws brewers from all over the world and (I would guess) must be one hell of a party. Way to go Stone!
