May 8, 2009 Pours a nice dark amber with a frothy, creamy head that has good retention. Nice malty aroma with a slight hint of hops. Strong malty flavor with a good balance of bitterness. Has a good thirst amount of carbonation that tingles the tongue lightly.

May 5, 2009 Aroma is hops, dark wheat bread, floral notes, and some sweetness. I could smell this all day. Appearance is a bit of a hazy brown/copper color. Good thick off-white head when poured and then dissipates. Flavor consists of wheat bread, some sweetness, rich maltiness with a splash of hops which adds bitterness. Very nice. Overall, I really like this beer. It’s got flavor, looks great, and always leaves me satisfied. Very good beer.

Apr 25, 2009 bottle.
Pours a clear middling burnished copper color, nice thick inch of off-white head that sticks around well. Smells of yeasty dark bread, tamed sweetness, and some light floral and spicy hop notes. Flavor follows the nose; sharp floral and mildly spicy bitterness, caramel bready malt sweetness with some yeasty twang. Seems like a combination of english and american pales. Palate is full, though carbonation a bit on the excessive side. Decent pale, not a standout but solid. Clean lightly bitter finish.

Apr 25, 2009 I like all the pales that Stone makes and didn’t realize I hadn’t rated this one before. A nice APA without the senses ambushing hops of some of their other offerings. Not that it is completely balanced, but they dio let their malting shine through between the bursts of slightly restained hopping.
