BeerGestapo (729), Windsor, Pennsylvania, USA Mar 28, 2008 Updated: Jun 28, 2008(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 illidurit (851), Santa Cruz, California, USA Mar 23, 2008 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.
Goblincat (356), Westland, Michigan, USA Mar 22, 2008 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. rodneykm (109), Westminster, South Carolina, USA Mar 22, 2008 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. joshwilfong (771), Cleveland, Ohio, USA Mar 21, 2008 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 BMan1113VR (2758), Los Angeles (and Dallas), Texas, USA Mar 21, 2008 Updated: Jun 24, 2008Large, 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). blackmurder (164), sadf, Hawaii, USA Mar 19, 2008 Very good session beer. Great body and hoppy finish...very crisp. Mildy floral palate Magicdave6 (5400), London, Greater London, England Mar 18, 2008 Bottle huge thanks to dkachur! Aroma is hoppy citrus and biscuity slightly grainy sweet malts, on the hoppy side of balanced though. Taste is similar and very tasy indeed, id happily session this til it came out my ears.
