Stone Levitation Ale

Bottle. Mahogany pour with a little beige head. Aromas are pretty thin... a bit of a medicinal pine edge. Flavor is about the same... medicinal side takes much of the enjoyment out of this particular beer. I just don’t care much for this.

I’ve seen six packs of this beer forever, but never until today saw a single bottle available for purchase. Wasn’t sure what to expect, but it’s certainly not one of the better stone brews.

Picked up three bottles and enjoyed each and every one on a relaxing Friday night. It’s been a long time since I’ve drank one beer three times in the same setting, but this is one remarkably drinkable ale with enough character to please the senses without destroying the palate. This is nice; flavorful, well rounded, and mild. Session beer is an understatement. Dark amber color bordering on brown, 1" thick long lasting head and oodles of frothy lacing. Aroma is floral and nutty, very fresh hop nose along with a biscuit scent. Malty body with a moderate hop bite, great balance. Such big flavors for a tame brew. Caramel, toasted bread, and cashews. Citrus and evergreen accents to compliment the malts. Very, very good.

Bottle. Best by 4/09/09. Pours dark amber, clear and transparent though dark. A fluffy off-white head sits on top. Aroma is semi-sweet, cotton candy, malts, slightly crackery and biscuity. Flavor is pretty mild with some nice maltiness. Smooth on the palate, very easy to drink. Balanced and very sessionable. This is definitely a strong session candidate. Nothing spectacular but respectable.

clear, dark brown like cherry chocolate with a 2 finger foamy head. nose is well balanced with malt+hops, and a little bit of sugar. taste is much more hoppy than the nose, and rather mild and bitter. all around a little too hoppy, with not enough malt to balance it out. I can handle the IBUs, but there needs to be a little more malt base to build on.

Crushed with Jakebra. Nice hoppy, sweet malt nose. Hops definitely dominate the flavor. A great dry, bitter finish follows. Plenty of awesomeness in this one.

Bottle from uto with mes at 3.8, however again in the rake it went upto 4.1. Biscuity crisp malt, grapefruit, citrus, new zealand hop? Good sessionable stuff, very drinkable. Infact its bloody awsome, too bad its £4:50 a bottle.

12oz bottle. Hazy dark amber is almost tea coloured. Thick head. Very nice mix of malt and alcohol scent mixed with dominant hops. Flavour is a malty light IPA which makes it an above average Amber. Low ABV is a nice touch.
