Sep 7, 2008 Dark, dark amber with a 1 inch head that settles to a thin film. Aroma is weak. Flavor is pretty smooth, clean, a little creamy, slightly hoppy. Character is lively. The brew is medium full and refreshing without being too heavy. The finish is malty and biter and has a lot of bite.

Sep 5, 2008 Smells great, lots of light fruity, flowery aroma. Pours a copper/amber with a bubbly head. Taste reminds me a lot of Sierra Nevada’s brew. Lots of light fruit, citrus, apricot, some peach. Lots of malt, only a bit of hops. Very good stuff here.

Sep 4, 2008 Not impressed with this one at all. As far as a pale ale goes... I can’t realy taste the hops in it. Too rich a maltiness for a pale ale. It’s not even pale... it’s copper.

Sep 4, 2008 Poured with a nice frothy, textured head and lots of lace. Nice amber color. Mild hop with some malt nose. Hop flavor is remarkably muted. Not bad, but nothing special. A surprise. Was expecting a lot more from the Stone. Balanced, clean pleasant finish.

Sep 3, 2008 Bottle. Pours a bright orangish amber color with a decent off white head. Aroma of malt, spice and light hops.Taste is sweet, earthy with tyhe flavors of malt hops, spices and light fruit (peaches). Extremely smooth and very delightful to drink. An exceptional pale ale.

Sep 3, 2008 12-oz. Pours a murky dark burnished amber with a thin, loose, slightly sudsy ring of white bubbles. Buttery, toffeeish nose. Bit of wood there as well. Body’s a little on the light side of medium, fairly soft carb. Mild biscuit and crackers mid-palate with some gentle woody hops rolling around. Not really a very exciting beer...definitely had higher hopes.

Sep 1, 2008 Bottle. Pours amber with a white head. Nice malt aroma with just a little bit of hops. Good flavor, nice malt backing. Just a little bit of bitterness. Well balanced, a solid beer, but nothing amazing.

Aug 29, 2008 (Bottle). Sweet woody hops aroma. Deep amber in color with a substantial head. Flavor is citrusy, slightly sweet, not much bitterness. Finish is mildly dry, again without much bitterness. Refreshingly nice, but could use a touch more bite.
