Arrogant Bastard Ale

Brewed by Stone Brewing Co.
Style: American Strong Ale
Escondido, California USA

A- Pours a clear dark ruby/brown hue, head is an off-white layer of suds-like foam that mostly sustains, swaths of lacing on the glass S- Nose is caramel malts with grass/pine hops and alcohol T- Initial taste is dominated by bitter dry hops which persist throughout, sweet caramel in the middle is followed up by a warming alcohol finish M- Medium-bodied, watery texture, mild carbonation D- Ah, I remember the day when AB was too strong for my delicate palate, now I find it smooth, balanced, and honestly, easy-to-drink; i usually have access to various forms of AB and other Stone special releases, so I am rarely going out of my way for the regular old AB, but it is still delicious!

Always a good decision. Just once tho. I can’t handle two of these, finishing a whole bottle is hard enough. $5.49 for a 25 oz at Gulf Liquors, Miami Beach

Bottle: Poured a reddish orange with off white creamy lasting head. The aroma is a mix of hops, malts, and citrus. Taste is awesome, its almost like chewing on hops and caramel malts. I like it and wish I had more!

Wow!! This beer is intense very strong aroma... I would say that is probably to hoppy for myself. The taste lingers for quite awhile. I first tried this beer on the train going to SD and I had to throw it away and buy a corona haha.

This is a strong but good ale. There is a good flavor to it with a hoppy finish. People that dont like heavy beers will not like this one.

This is a strong dark beer with an extreme hop flavor. It left a lingering bad taste in my mouth. I like the high alcohol content, but can’t force myself to drink a whole glass of this stuff. I think people like it because of the name... I don’t blame them.

This ale has a dark amber appearance, and releases a citrus/hoppy aroma while pouring. The taste is rich in malts and caramel. Overall this beer is over-hopped, which prevented me from enjoying this ale.

pours a dark copper taste of strong hops and is aggresive like the label says good beer however not the most drinkable
