Draft. Skipjack’s, Natick. One of the better pale ales I have tasted. Good color. Nice hoppiness. Good session beer. Got this confused with Stone Brewing Co Pale Ale which is what I actually tasted. -spud

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.

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.

Bottle. This is a golden orange colour in the glass with an half inch off white head. Looks great! There’s lots of piney hops in the aroma with some grapefruit, all full and aromatic. The mouthfeel is medium in body, a bit oily; carbonation is fairly light. There’s plenty of bready caramel in the flavour, a fair emphasis on the malt character with some citrus, wood, distant grass through hops in the background.

Aroma is lightly hoppy, as expected, but the taste was surprisingly watered down. A little bit of a hoppy bite, but more of a tea characteristic in the finish. Appearance is nice, copper/amber, clear, with a nice off-white head and good lacing.

On tap at Stone. Light amber, smallish head to no lace or ring. Smell is smooth and subtle. Light in the mouth. A little light on flavor. Some sweet malt. Some snap in the finish.

Very nice brew for the hops lover. Very drinkable and is an all time favorite of mine. Another excellent brew from Stone.
