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.

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.

Draught at Circa 5/23. Hoppier than a plain old Pale Ale would indicate, but high scores for being delicious.

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.

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.

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.

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!
