Clear dark red amber color with a average, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, off-white head. Aroma is moderate to heavy malty, caramel, moderate to heavy hoppy, pine, orange. Flavor is moderate to light heavy sweet and bitter with a average to long duration. Body is medium to light, texture is watery to oily, carbonation is soft, finish feel is metalic. [20090111]

Amber body with a nice off white head. The aroma is super biscuity, and toasty, like toasted multigrain bread. The hops really shine for an Amber Ale, like a hop bag that was just pulled out from dry hopping. Citrusy & Earthy… I can crush this beer all day every day… what a wonderful go to beer especially for Florida… Man, although a bit bias, I can’t wait to have this readily available in the near future!

Pours out a nice mostly clear, attractive amber color with a small white head, with some lacing. Aroma is of citrus, floral and pine hops, toast, and a slight sweet earthy note. Taste is dry and crisp, packs much more flavor than anything I’ve ever had at 4.4%. Floral, citrus and grassy hops, sweet earth, toasted bread, caramel and a slight toffee note, finishes dry. Very solid, would make a great session...if only they kegged this and shipped it o NJ...

draft at Taco Mac, Cumming. Levitation is the best Amber Ale I’ve had, period. Stone delivers all the time - they are the top notch brewery in the US overall... pours a really deep amber, almost brown with a small off white head. good amount of hops with some sweet malt in the aroma. big hop presence through the mouth - I wouldn’t expect anything less from Stone... medium body, hops and sweet malt from top to bottom.... quality. Stone rocks! One of the best session beers, even at $10 a six pack.

Bottle. Amber pour. Tan head. Lots of hops and malt on the nose. Citrus hops stick out with a sticky amount of malt. Good caramel notes. Another quality stone brew.
