Stone Pale Ale

Bottle. Poured a cloudy amber color. Aroma of hops and malt. Taste of hops and sweet malts. A pretty good pale ale.

Pale yellow/orange color, mango citrus on the nose. Hints of peach flavor. Excellent beer for a hot day. Think I could drink a lot of these.

For me, this is the best session beer in the world. How can you do any better? Delectable hoppng with a solid, well balanced malt backbone. I went on a trip to San Diego last year and enjoyed many great beers but it was always nice to come back to Stone. Man, I’d like to get this in my draft fridge!

A pretty reddish amber with a thin white head. Nice, light, malty almost floral aroma. Fruity flavor of hops over a slightly sweet malty character. A little flat with a slightly bitter finish. Pretty clean mouthfeel. Decent lacing.

12 ounce single bottle from Total Wine in Jacksonville, Florida. Pours a rich amber color with a thin white head. Aroma is light with hops and a bit of citrus. Taste is hoppy with citrus and some malt overtones. Clean finish. A great pale ale!
