Enjoyed a bottle at Flow in Jim Thorpe, PA with lunch. The beer was served ice cold in a pilsner glass. Citrus notes with a bitter finish. The beer probably would have been better if served warmer and in a proper glass.

Bottle pours a clear mahogan with a dense beige head.Lovely malt and hop aroma.Slightly citrusy and sweet ans woody. Flavor os woodand leathery with a surprisingll sharp bite. Lingering bitterness that seemed prett toigh for an amber. But this IS Stone after all. Snappy and brisk and full of flavor for 4.4 pct.

Bottle, pours a nice amber color with a tan head that is fluffy. Hop forward aroma. Nice easy to drink, some crisp hops, almost a quaffer, I think its nice not overly obnoxious like some Stone brews.

Pours to a dark reddishorange with thin off-white head that dissipates at mid-glass wihth okay lacing. Aroma was a subtle hoppy citrus, with undertones of malty dark fruit. Mouthfeel smotth and medium bodied and the taste picked up the subtle fruits of the nose. Finish somewhat short-lived, yet pleasant. Not Stone’s best by any means, but not a bad beer at all either.

This certainly isn’t the best beer brewed by Stone, but it isn’t all that bad either. It poured a dark amber color with a very generous off-white head that left lots of lacing around the glass. The nose was full of malty and bready notes, along with some hoppy tones. The body was rather light in character and bland in flavor. It certainly isn’t what I’m used to drinking from Stone. This is supposed to be a session beer, but I don’t think I could drink several of these in one sitting. The finish was a little hoppy, but was overwelmingly malty and a little bland.

Pours a dark copper with an off white head that holds nicely. A good hoppy aroma is present. Really good hop taste that is somewhat tingly to the mouth. Mouthfeel is good, but could be creamier. Aftertaste is nice and bitter.

Pours dark copper with a decent, lasting creamy head. Taste is orange peel, malt, bitter hops with a creamy mouthfeel and a strongly dry herbal hoppy finish. This is ok, but I wasn’t hugely impressed.
