Stone Levitation Ale

Pours amber color with just a little white head. Has a hoppy malty smell to it. A slight citrus taste with a tiny bitter finish. Just an okay beer for Stone

Amber with a lasting white head. Strong aroma of grapefruit with orange peel and a hint of malt. Sweet grapefruit juice flavour with medium hop bitterness

Hoppy and easy to drink but the sum of flavors doesn’t work for me. I like that Stone is selling a low abv beer, and they’re doing a pretty good job at packing a big flavor into a little beer. However, something about the combination of citric hops and spicy caramel malt doesn’t really work for me. The beer pours a medium mahogany with a nice head that laces the glass well. The aroma is heavy on American hops with a good grapefruit flavor. There’s also a very nice, light caramel malt note. I love good session beers, but this one doesn’t quite come together. The flavors just seem at odds with each other on the palate. Carbonation is good, and the beer is otherwise well-crafted. It really comes down to some kind of ethereal, entirely subjective reaction. I think that I’m mostly reacting to the malt choices, but it could be anything. So, I’d recommend this beer, but I’m also not going to go out and buy it for myself.

copper pour with a small one finger off white head. with the big malty taste i expected it to be high in the abv ( only 4.4) i like it

Bottle. Thank you Christianscheffel. Pours dark amber/copper with a large creamy head and lacings. Fruit, hops, buiscuit and orange. Grapefruit juice. Medium bodied. Ends dry. Nice

Pours clear light ruby with off white head. Super hoppy citrus and pine aroma. Little honey flavor then a super long butter finish. Great example of a hoppy west coast amber, but I wish there was a little more malt.

Odd little brew. It looks great and smells great. Reminds me of Arrogant Bastard by look and smell. It has a bit of a porter taste to it. My only qualm is the bitter finish that tends to stick around longer than I like. I’d definitely drink one if offered up but for the money there are tons of other beers I’d rather buy.

Nice pour - copper with a nice frothy head. Hops hit you up front but it’s well balanced even thought it’s only 4.4%. Biscuity with slight nuttiness and peppercorns in the background. Great Amber! Another solid Stone offering.
