Stone Levitation Ale

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

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.

Draft at Dilly Deli. Poured a clear copper color with an average frothy white head that was mostly lasted and had good lacing. Good malty and citrus hoppy aroma. Medium body with slick dry texture and flat carbonation. Moderate well balanced smooth flavor with a medium bittersweet finish of moderate duration. Good session brew.

Finally, it only too like a few decades, seemingly, to get this brew to Ohio, but here it is in my hot little hands. Pour is glassy copper with a nice cream head. Aroma is typical Stone, even for an amber, it is bursting with hop aroma. The nice medium amber flavor makes this one a wonderfully refreshing drink. Not too dominating in any aspect, and certainly a quality offering, even though it is not over the top.

dark brown with rich white head. moderate carbonation. hoppy nose. some crystal malt in the flavor with some moderate bittering hops and a fair amount of hop flavor. questionable amber ale classification, possibly closer to an american pale due to large flavor hops. a good brew though

Pours a darker amber color with an off-white head. Aroma is of caramel malts and citrus and pine hops. Flavor is pretty malty with a decent amount of citrus hops and fruit. Bitter finish that doesn’t linger as long as I thought it would.
