Stone Levitation Ale

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

12 oz bottle. Amber pour with a nice white head. fruity nose, peach and citrus, sweet caramel. Flavor is sweet caramel tinged with citrus and earth. Pretty nice drinker, very sessionable.

Nice looking, traditional amber, dark orange. Decent head, decent retention. Pine aroma along with smokiness. Palate is nice, a bit light and foamy and not overbearing, yet lush. Malty too, caramel, nutty, real good offering.

12oz bottle. Pours a darker brown amber, clear, glowing with a big frothy light tan foam on top. Aroma is quite hoppy, peachy, citrus, some special malt. Flavor follows, very bitter for an amber, super hoppy, citrus fades under the bitterness, grapefruit, green hops, really swings it out of balance with the malt nearly into IPA territory, some glassy hard candy toasted sweet malt. Very sessionable, big hop flavor with lighter malt profile and quite drinkable at 4.4%. Medium/light bodied with lots of sharp fluffy carbonation, just slightly sticky but mostly a watery mild-ale type feel. Excellently crafted.

Cloudy amber,small beige head.Great citrus nose.Nice tart hop profile, earthy malt in back.

This beer was badass. Copper red with a HUGE off-white foamy head. It had a grassy hoppy smell with a good deal of grapefruit. Definitely a grassy, grapefruit taste with a crisp hoppy finish. This beer was the shit.

12oz brown glass pry-top bottle. Etched 07/07/09 around bottom. Appearance: Rough pour turns up 1.5 fingers of tan creamy head that recedes at a moderate rate leaving substantial lacing. Slightly hazy amber color. Nose: Big hop nose: citrus rules this beer and some fresh cut pine and green pine nettles. Palate: Light- to medium-light-bodied. Turns somewhat watery quickly. Some light biscuit malt and some "flash-in-the-pan" citrus hop notes. Beer is light and quick, but packed with those oh-so-awesome Stone flavors. Notes: A great sessionable beer. Best way I’ve heard it described is an "extreme session" beer. Light, but packed with good flavors and layers.

12oz bottle. Looks like a brown ale, tastes like an IPA. Pretty good beverage. Very easy to drink and low enough abv to not get into too much trouble.

12oz bottle: Apperance is deep amber brown with slow fading off white head, aroma of hops and hints of malt, flavor pretty simple lots of hops up front with a bit of smoked malt flavors with no caramel which is suprising for an amber, Pretty good beer.
