Amber with red ting. Moderate head. Light citrus and floral hop and toasty-caramel aroma. Taste has a little spicy hop to it. Gentle dry finish.

bottle bb. 11/17/07 so almost 3 months past that poured a red amber in color with slow but constant carbination producing a fine one finger head of white frothy foam. aroma seems well balanced consisting of caramel malt, good hops leaning towards spice, and some sugar sweetness mixed with earthy tones. mouth feel is a medium with lighter carbination and pleasant to sip. flavors are a good mix of hops and malt leaning towards th malt as it is tasted, has some sweetness but very complementary, and finishing with a slightly frothy malt and hop cocktail. very nice beer for the style.

served cold from 22 oz. bottle. pours amber with a small, fading off-white head. good lacing. aroma is quite hoppy, but noticeably malty as well. a smooth, medium body and easy to consume, the beer is highlighted by the hop finish. bitter, but not overwhelming. a good pale ale.

Decent, mellow pale ale. Not as bitter as Sierra Nevada’s - but a lot more aromatic. The first smell is grassy with almost a lager smell. It’s what I would identify as the perfect session beer - one you can drink a lot of. And at 5.4%, you have a bit more latitude. Pours clear amber with 1 finger of white head, which recedes to a soapy film. There is a nice hoppy bite in the finish of this beer, but its not overpowering.

When I want a Pale Ale this is what I get. A fine example of style. Peronally I would like to see a little more hops in the recipie possible some Simcoe.

Bottle poured a clear copper with a small diminishing amber head. Aromas of carmel, earthiness, light pine and light orange. Palate was light to medium bodied and smooth. Flavors of carmel, earthiness and light citrus with a smooth moderatly bitter finish.

From a bottle. Pours an amber color with a small white head. Aroma is pretty hoppy, notes of pine and citrus are most evident. Tastes is a nice blend of sweet malts and bitter hops, with some cirus hops showing through. Decent sessionable brew from stone.

Amber with a wispy and lacy beige head. malty and sweet aroma with subtle but nice hops. Pretty even and clean flavor with caramel and fruitiness closed by some nice complex hop flavors that blend nicely. The body is a little thin, but makes this a good sessionable beer. It’s an alright beer, but pretty unremarkable among the APAs I’ve had. The flavor profile just reminds me of a castrated and watered down stone IPA. As far as Stone beers go, I think that I’ll stick to the stronger stuff that they do quite well.
