Stone Levitation Ale

Eh, kind of a dissapionting brew from perhaps my favorite brewery...its drinkable and mild but it lacks the kick i love from stone beers

On taps at Newport Pizza and Ale. Pours with a nice caramel brown hue with a creamy off white head. Nice armarillo citrus nose. Good middle with a crisp, clean hoppy ending. Very drinkable+

Draught No head to speak of; deep ruby-amber beer. Hops, dark grapes, lightly smoked pinewood, chocolate cake. Well-filled cake with hops, more dark grapes, raisins and leather. Surprisingly light MF, not empty, but all the same watering out. A dark variety on the Stone principle. To try out, even if I’m not in love with it as with the Bastards.

HUGE head!! At least 3 inches in my tulip glass. Settles slowly. Very dense and creamy on top. Not hoppy aroma with some roasted malts, citrus hops, lemons and a bit of caramel. Very nice crimson brown in color. Lots of roasted grains in the flavor with a bit of caramel, some toasted bread, bitter grapefruity hops and a light fruityness. Easy drinking with a lingering roasty and bitter aftertaste. A good everyday drinking brew. Nice and hoppy.

Bottle. Poured a dark copper with a tall but light beige head. A nice floral aroma with a nice hoppy finish.

Pours a nice copper with 2 fingers of white head. Aroma of hops and malt. Flavors of malt, and quite a bit of hops and hop bitterness. Lots of hop flavor and a lower alcohol content make this a good lawnmower or session beer. Nicely done Stone.

Bottle courtesy of BMan113VR. Pours a nice red color with a medium sized off white head. Nose is hoppy, a bit fruity and dry. Taste is hoppy malty, dry and has notes of fruityness. I almost wonder if this beer is made from the second running of Stone IPA as I notice many of the same characteristics. Very nice lacing on this one.

This amber ale poured with a decent beige head and a yeasty aroma. The flavor is roasted malt and floral hop, with a nice bitter bite at the finish.
