Clear coppery color with a hoppy, mettalic aroma, grapefruity and grassy with some caramel in there. Maybe a subtle note of tropical fruit. Taste is tropical and bready. Light bodied and bitter but tasty. The grainy caramel malts balance out the tropical hop flavor. Another well balanced brew from Stone. Amazing this is only 4.4 ABV.

This reminds me a bit of a toned-down Dogfish 60 Minute IPA. Woodsy, herbal hops with a good malt backbone. I welcome its low ABV. They did a great job given that limitation.

Nice dark brown color. Smells mostly of floral hops. Taste if full of hops. Not too much malts, mainly of just the hops. Has a little bite in the end. An overall pleasant brew.

The quality of the hop flavor in this is the best I’ve tasted. Unless you don’t like hop flavor at all you should like this. I tried it side by side with Sierra Nevada Pale Ale which normally is at the upper limit of my desired hoppiness, but Levitation Ale was much hoppier and tasted better overall.

Bottle. Poured a hazy amber color with a tall off-white head. Nose is fruity with a mild hop presence and hints of caramel. Somewhat thin in body with soft carbonation and a watery mouthfeel. Flavor is dry with spicy notes and pretty decent hops bitterness. Finishes dry. It’s an amber, still pretty good ofering for such a lackluster style.

12 oz. bottle. Obviously pours amber, albeit a very pleasant looking amber. Slightly off-white almost tannish thin head. Floral aroma on nose but tapers off and takes on more of a malty flavor. Peculiar, slightly peppery sensation on the tip of the tongue as it settles. Light to medium bodied. Unusual.

Aroma was good. Appearance was very nice. Flavor was great, the dry hops really came through from begining to end. Palate was very good. Lost points on the alcohol %. Good beer, great flavor.

"Beer appears to be hazy brownish red sitting as in my glass a good size one inch cap was produce and reduced to a thick skiff. I would have liked to have seen this a little more red. Aroma is delicious candied peach hops that are very sweet, malt is noticeable but barley. Bitter hops that have the same sour peach candy flavour as the smell but not as intense. Arg…. What is that taste? Leather? There seems to mild chemical in the taste but it barley noticeable. Brew is good and malty but they seem slightly watery but still acceptable. Ok beer easy to slam and above average taste but nothing to overly exciting. "
