 ROGUE (621), Newark, Delaware, USA
Oct 22, 2009 22oz bottle. Poured a deep amber color with a frothy head that left good lacing. Aroma of doughy malt and floral hops. Taste is hops, light malt, with hints of caramel and citrus. A nice pale ale thats just a bit dialed down for a Stone.

Oct 17, 2009 Enjoyed from a 12oz bottle in a pub glass. The beer pours a medium amber color with a thick white head that disappears relatively quickly. The nose a nice combination of resiny hop tones and malt sweetness, along with some almost tea-like notes. The malt characters show some evidence of the use of high crystals. The palate is fairly full in terms of mouthfeel, but lacks the overall complexity and intensity of flavor of great APAs, such as those from Great Lakes and Oskar Blues. The hop bitterness shows itself up front, and then transitions over to the aforementioned crystal malt character, finishing with more slightly tea-like notes. The yeast adds just a bit of fruity character, but not nearly the level of an English pale ale. Overall, nicely done.

Oct 15, 2009 Pours a beautiful orange with a strong off-white head. Aroma is wild with hops and hints of citrus. Flavor is citrus with slight caramel, very smooth and malty. Finishes slightly dry, small amount of bitterness and spiciness.

Oct 10, 2009 Nice Floral aroma. Reddish Orange body. Great Hoppy American Pale. This is a good intro beer to the Stone Brewery. At 5.4 ABV it packs a punch without tasting like liquor.
kwerikson (62), burlington, New Jersey, USA
Oct 3, 2009 pours out golden yellow with a thick frothy head that is almost white in color. has a light ruby oarnge body with a little bit of light shining through. the taste is very smooth with a variety of flavours coming through, and most notably the hops. they are kind of grassy with a nice touch to the malts which made the beer. their is a subtle hint of a lemony citrusy taste brought through in hops. nothing is overpowering and this would be a really good brew to get someone drinking really good beer. also, the aftertaste is great, a little hoppiness, a little maltiness, lingers really nice with a little sweetness in the middle of palate, great beer.

Sep 30, 2009 Amber-orange pour with a white head. Aroma of malts and hops. Light to medium body. Flavor is light, pale malts with a bitter hops finish. Very solid.
RedSox2004 (353), Pacific Palisades, California, USA
Sep 29, 2009 Pours slightly hazy amber with a nice frothy 2-finger head that settled to a cirrus-cloud like film and left nice lacing. Floral hops aromas accompanied solid malts and a hint of freshly cut wood. moderately sharp hops up front on the palate with a generous helping of bread-like maltiness and a touch of caramel and butter. Silky, almost oily mouthfeel, moderately carbonated, and a great bitter hops aftertaste. A classic.
