| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 26, 2008 12 oz bottle, pours deep amber with beige foamy head, which mostly dissipated and left mild lacing. Aroma of malt and hops, similar to Arrogant Bastard, but milder. Taste of bitter hops, mouthfeel a bit watery, but smooth. Is a decent pale ale, but not as great as I would have expected, since I’m a fan of Arrogant Bastard/Double Bastard. Just OK. GMUcrew7 (360), Mason, Ohio, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 26, 2008 Pours a nice copper color with beige head. The aroma is a nice combo of hops and bready malt. The flavor is a great balance of the light hop flavor and the full, rich sticky sweet malts. A great pale ale that I will definitely buy again. AdamSkillin (376), High Bridge, New Jersey, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | May 24, 2008 Draught at Circa 5/23. Hoppier than a plain old Pale Ale would indicate, but high scores for being delicious. mvcramer (229), Arlington, Massachusetts, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | May 22, 2008 Enjoyed at Audobon in a bottle.
Another fine offering from Greg and the rest of the brewing team at Stone. Pours a orange-ish color with a nice off-white head. Pleasant hop aroma on the nose, meshing perfectly with the maltiness on the palate. Good solid pale. Would be wonderful with spicy food. I’m not a hophead, and this is an excellent, balanced hoppy beer. kurtkosher (144), USA

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | May 18, 2008 Poured a hazy orange-reddish color w/ a two finger head (very tight air bubbles). Leaves a very nice lacing on the glass. The hop flavor is present throughout the tasting in the mouth from start to finish. nefarious (203), Clarkston, Michigan, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | May 17, 2008 Wow! Pours a light orange, sweet hoppy, bitter. awesome summer beer! I get caught up sipping on IPA’s, IIPA’s and stouts that I forget how good this is. matt7215 (956), Cambridge, Ontario, Canada
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | May 16, 2008 12 oz bottle from a trade with franksnbeans. pours reddish/orange/light brown/amber with a tight tan head that last and lasts. aromas are hops just peaking through over a great malt aroma. flavours are initially hops but then a wave of malt delight kicks in. the malt is what makes this one special. id love to try it on tap. thanks frank!
