Oct. 2007 - Pour was amber with decent head and lacing. Flavor was caramel and citrus, not heavy but thick mouthfeel. Nicely hopped for a pale ale and well balanced. A great session beer

a good solid pale ale... Not a hop monster by any means.. I’ve had the IPA and the ruination IIPA. This one hangs heavier on the malt side, but very fresh and clean tasting. Compared to a sierra nevada pale, this one is much less lively on the carbonation, less hoppy, darker colored... I wouldn’t even guess they were the same style honestly... but this is still a refreshing brew, extremely drinkable... sweet but well balanced. I don’t like how they put the same description on this style’s label about the new brewery machines, telling me to put the beer back in the fridge and all that. one of my favorite brewery’s anyway...gnite!

(USA) Orange color with a nice Med-Tan Head. There is a sweet caramel aroma and a smooth citrus taste that is well balanced. I could see my self drinking a few of these’s in the summer time

Brilliant orange color with a fluffy tan head. Nice sticky lacing forms rings on the glass as the beer slowly dwindles. Surprisingly un-hoppy for a Stone beer, both in nose and flavor. Malt is toasty, caramely, and well balanced against the citrus hops. Unexpected but welcome restraint. Extremely easy to drink due to its low alcohol, smooth mouthfeel, and balance.

I’ve had this so many times, I don’t know how I missed rating it. A perfect amount of hops and an overall very drinkable taste. I find myself coming back time and time again for this pale ale. Good stuff.

Not too bad at all. Its a bit less hoppy than most stone beers are (but the hopps are defnintely still there). Really good beer. Can’t wait for it to be available in SC.

orange appearance with quickly disappearing white head. flavor really lacks a dominant flavor, the malt component is understated and the hops really add only a slight bitterness but not much flavor overall. i had anticipated much more

Large, creamy, white head covering a chill hazed amber body. Great retention and some of the best lacing around. Floral hops, slightly spicey hops melon, and some alcohol with a dash of malts are all present in the aroma. Nice balance to the taste, not too hoppy, kind of salty, actually. Nice and lively/interesting for a 5.4% . Watery mouth, with a good level of carbonation. Pretty sweet and not to bitter for an APA (a Stone APA at that).
