Stone Pale Ale

20oz draft at the Sierra Grille in Northampton. Sierra Grille has good food and a superb draft and bottle list. (The service sucked tho. They hurried us out because we spend under 40 bucks on dinner. The server took my girlfriends plate when she was still eating and had a mouthfull of food!) This was great with food as the flavors were not overpowering. The tasty hops were very present and balanced the sweet nutty malt. Not bad at all.

Bottle from Kegs & Barrels in McKinney, TX. Pours a clear deep amber with nice beige head. Aroma of malt with some grapfruit/pine notes, not over powering. Flavor is malty with a nice hoppy kick. Medium carbonation, medium body. Over all, an easy drinker that is very good.

This pale ale is delicious and refreshing. It is subtle without a burst of flavor of hops, just as a pale ale should be. It has a beautiful, bright amber color and the bottles/labels are awesome.

deep ruby pour with a thin off white head. sweet malts and some citrus hop notes in the background. easy on the palate with the hops shining through but not overpowering at all. easy finish with a nice, smooth hop flavor.

medium head clear amber
aroma of malts
malty taste without much else
bit watery palate, bitter finish

Cask at GBBF 08. Dark amber with a very perfumy, floral and fruity aroma. Solid malt supports the whole edifice, allowing the hops flavours to dance on the top. An excellent beer.

The beer pours a deep red amber with a light white head. The nose is a light mix of malts and hops the taste is slightly hoppy and dry with a short finish

Cloudy amber with tiny off white whead. Sweet aroma with fruity and hoppy notes. Hoppy and sweet flavor with citric and piney notes. Ends bitter.
