Very nice fresh and clean taste of malt sweetness with just the right amount of hops for a pale ale. This is the best pale ale I have had so far.

A classic pale ale. Most brews from Stone are pretty great, and this one is no exception. Amber, hazy, balanced and a solid choice.

Garbageman (356) - Lexington, South Carolina, USA - MAY 1, 2013
From tap. Pours a copper color with thin head. Aroma was sweet malt, some floral hops and a little earthiness. Taste follows with bread and a great balance between bitter and malt backing.

Tachionc2 (12) - Miami, Florida, USA - APR 30, 2013
A very mellow amber color and a malty, caramel aroma combine to make a smooth Pale Ale. Stone’s is a simple beer with simple ingredients, no preservatives, and a high ABV. You can’t go wrong with this one.

jd543 (125) - SCOTLAND - APR 26, 2013
Aroma is malty, cereal, light on the hops. Appearence is a clear, deep red/orange colour with a thin off-white head, lots of sediment. Flavour is cereal, malt, sweet at first with a bitter finish. Very little coming from the hops. Oily texture with a light carbonation. Beautiful colour, but unfortunately fails to live up to that original promise.

dresden (520) - Saskatchewan, CANADA - APR 25, 2013
For some super weird reason the hotel I’m staying in had a keg of this in the hallway with cups. I’m assuming it was meant for me to take a few "samples" back to my room. This is a pretty nice west coast pale. Like a mini version of the IPA. Some citrusy, some piney hops. Nice mil session beer I could drink all day.

ajnepple (486) - Fort Collins, Colorado, USA - APR 25, 2013
12 oz bottle. Amber and clear with a sticky light tan head. The aroma is caramel and bready malts, earthy hops and light citrus fruits. Medium body with a smooth dry feel. Bitter piney flavor with mild malty sweetness. A solid pale.

Kroney (95) - San Diego, California, USA - APR 23, 2013
Pours copper/red. Small tannish head. Aroma is mostly bread/sweet malt with some floral/dry hop earthyness too. Flavor is similar, mostly bready, but gives way to a huge grapefruit bitterness that makes this wonderful for an IPA guy looking for something different. Great beer.

   AROMA 6/10   APPEARANCE 5/5   TASTE 8/10   PALATE 4/5   OVERALL 16/20
EtTuCthulhu (399) - Columbia, Missouri, USA - APR 21, 2013
The aroma has a slight hop character to it, which isn’t overwhelming by any means, and the appearance is complex, combining a dark orange color, medium off-white head, and a fine sediment. The taste is quite bitter, slightly sour, and a touch sweet, which creates a nice balance, and the palate fuses a medium body, average carbonation, slightly bitter finish, and a sticky texture.
