COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This deep amber ale has rich & roasty malt flavors, a big hoppy character, citrus overtones (courtesy of the hops and our special brewers yeast) and modest alcohol.

mikkos (28) - FINLAND - MAR 2, 2013
Hoppy aromas, citrusy, caramel and malts there too. Medium head, leaves a nice lacing. Taste of hops and malt, palate is fullish. Overall pretty nice, I’d have another :) Prefer this to the stone pale ale.

alkoholocaust (36) - HELSINKI, FINLAND - MAR 2, 2013
0,355l Bottle. Amber colored. Low and thick head. Aroma is grapefruity, black tea and citrussy hoppy. Taste: Cracker, passion fruit, pine needle and little parfym. Pretty full body, with pleasant, fizzy carb and long bitter finish.

Gramoit (252) - AUSTRALIA - FEB 27, 2013
Nice hoppy aroma, not a bad beer by any means. Some spicey flavours along with some some caramel and citrus flavours. Would be a pretty good session beer.

Miked1687 (224) - Buffalo, New York, USA - FEB 24, 2013
Poured from a bottle into a glass. Deep ruby with a thick khaki head that laces as it leaves. Smell is dominated by pine. Heavy heavy pine. Malt. Fresh. Kind of soapy, flat, lots of piney hops, and some malt. Probably would be better fresher. Overall good though for some session drinking.

Kroney (95) - San Diego, California, USA - FEB 24, 2013
Pours deep copper/red... minimal head and lacing. Aroma has a nice spicey hop characteristic to go along with the light roasted malt backbone. Flavor starts out all-malt, but has a very nice citrus/spicey hop flavor to balance. At 4.4% abv, this a perfect session beer for people who like more complex flavors. Well done.

Doofgoblin (131) - Fort Collins, Colorado, USA - FEB 24, 2013
Aroma is of hoppy citrus notes with roasty malts. Pours dark amber with an off white head. Light in sweetness with some bitterness. Finishes a little bitter, clean and smooth. Overall, a pretty balanced and refreshing ale.

Scurtis (4) - Bastrop, Texas, USA - FEB 23, 2013 does not count
Good ale; little light on the kick side at only 4.4%. Overall a lighter ale than I've come to expect from Stone. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

ellolovey (265) - Georgia, USA - FEB 22, 2013
12 oz bottle. Pours a translucent dark amber with a thin white head. Active carbonation. Aroma of sweet malts and bubblegum. Taste is of caramel malts and ashtray. Needs more hops. --Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

jookos (765) - Helsinki, FINLAND - FEB 21, 2013
Bottle. Dark amber, clear. Good malty, caramel, citrus/pine hoppy notes on nose. Body is lightish, good bitterness. Has dark caramel, a lot of hops. Pretty good, as expected. A lighter version of stone’s signature flavours. Probably the best I’ve found at a local supermarket.
