Commercial Description:
Stone 13th Anniversary Ale pours brilliant deep red with a light tan foam. Up front, the aroma is all piney, resinous and citrus hops. Upon tasting, the hops are still on the front, and they are balanced with the malty, toffee like flavors contributed from the blend of crystal and amber malts used in the brewhouse. The finish is deliciously bitter, with a touch of warmth provided by the 9.5% alcohol. Bitterness comes in at 90+ IBU.

22oz bottle. Pours dark ruby brown, almost opaque, with a medium off-white foamy head. Aroma of fresh floral hops with citrus. Big spicy hop bite with rye, caramel, and grapefruit. Complex, yet very easy to drink. Medium-bodied with a slight flavor of alcohol at the finish. Fantastic.

Pours a dark red color with brownish tints. Has a full rich complex aroma that is a mix between pine/hops/and herbs. Sits very well in the mouth. Taste is a little bitter, but very enjoyable. A good sipping beer.

Reddish copper with dense tan head. Malty sweet with citrus hop nose. Big hope bite right from the start. Malt makes an attempt to support but it’s all hops with this brew. Alcohol is present.

Contrairement à la 12ième anniverssaire, la 13ième m’a fortement déçu. Elle ressemble beaucoup plus à une double Ipa, qu’à une strong ale. De couleur brune foncée, elle dégage de fortes odeurs d’houblon. Légèrement épicée et avec des notes de sapins, elle est pas très bien balancée. On a ici affaire à une bière très houblonnée, sans grande nouveauté.

Nice deep brownish amber color. Aroma is full of floral hops, roasted barley, slight citrus, and pine. Taste is, well, excellent! Flavor is full of hops, roasted barley, pine, malts, and just a little bit of coriander. Leaves a smooth and bitter barley and hop aftertaste. This is one good brew. Another gem from our friends at Stone Brewing Co.

Spectacular! Hops made me cough and pleased me! I knew this would be fab when I poured this beautiful deep red ale. Can’t wait for my next.

Pine, Pine, Pine. Sharp thirst quencher. I think the malt is overtaken by the hops and for me that is a good thing.

Just a hair below my favorite Dogfish Head 120 minute. Wonderful pine malt aroma. So well balanced they bot stand out. Reddish brown pour with a small head. Flavor is incredible. Very piney, citrusy up front but very well balanced with a malt backbone. Finishes very dry and crisp. One of the best out there.

Shared by HogTownHarry with Blankboy and I. Dark cherry brown, with a beautiful frothy tanned head. Aroma: Sweet, sweet hops, delicious, vanilla, toffee, mango and lemons. Delicious. Flavour: Sweet bitter hops, really attacked my taste buds, sharp, malty as all hell, lots of citrus and pine, fantastic hop hit. Just what I needed as the last drink of our thirsty Thursday tastings... Yum. Oh - alcohol too.
