Stone Pale Ale

Brewed by Stone Brewing Co.
Style: American Pale Ale
Escondido, California USA

Everyone seems to say the same thing about this beer: beautiful, copper color, quite nicely malty and a pleasant, but restrained amount of hops. I cannot disagree. I liked it quite a bit, but I probably won’t opt for this one too often given the other (and I think superior) APAs out there.

One of my "go to" beers! Very drinkable, smooth, very good aftertaste. There are not many beers from stone brewing that arnt great!

Tasty brew, nice copper color and almost herbal. Begins with a tinge of sweetness but evens out to a clean hoppy finish. Very smooth. Good american Pale Ale.

Bottle. Poured a darker copper color with a finger high off white head. Smells floral and a little earthy. I’m surprised how tame this IPA is for a product of Stone Brewing. The hop flavor is there but isn’t overpowering, and finishes smooth. I like Ruination or their IPA better than this, but this is very drinkable. Also has a sweet smell to it.

Bottle. Poured copper orange with a big bubbly foamy head. Little lacing. Grassy hop aroma with a defined yeasty malt body. A bit sweet, malts evident with a mild hop finish, fairly plain tasting. A little watery with a nice lingering aftertaste.

12 oz bottle-Pours a clear copper color w/a small white head. Decent hop aroma. Nice subtle hop flavor up front, has a malt finish w/traces of caramel & dark fruit. Solid, easy drinking brew, doesn’t have that offensive bite some brewers seem to think they must put in a pale ale. Long, smooth malt finish. Nice brew.

Bottle. Clear amber color. Small white head with some lacing. Subdued malty aroma. suprising hop presence. A solid pale ale.

[bottle] Clear red amber color, with a ring of white lacing around the glass. Malty, sweet aroma. Very clean malt flavors with a nice balance of bitterness. Not too over the top, or piney. Crisp, clean finish.
