Nov 11, 2007 355 ml bottle. Pours a nice clear amber with a dense off-white head. Modest piney nose with a malty background. Medium body with a sharp hop bite against a sold malt base. Nice lingering balance of malt and hops.

Nov 9, 2007 An awesome pale ale with all the hops you’d expect from Stone. Pours darker than your average pale ale. Tasted a bit "green" to me. Grassy and lightly fruity. For me, it makes a decent chugger.

Nov 9, 2007 Amber brew with a modest head. Nicely blended flavor - tangy, peppery hops over moderately sweet grains. Low carbonation. Notes of fruit, smoke, and grapefruit. A rich, hoppy version of an English ale - is that what an American pale ale is supposed to be? And why is it called pale ale when it is not pale? Anyway, this is what I hoped my homebrew would taste like - but it didn’t. Stone is still a step ahead of me.

Nov 2, 2007 Bomber thanks to Mr. Quiroga! Poured rather deep for a pale ale.. clear coppery-amber with a tall, well-retained, sticky cap of beige head. The aroma picked up semi-sweet darker caramel, crisp light fruits, and a dry, dusty yeast presence.. a little detergent right at the end. This was mighty tasty.. sweet caramel and light fruits at the core.. moderate pine, citrus, and fruity bitterness surrounded, and carried through the lightly warm finish. About medium-bodied with delightful balance.. sweet, tangy, and refreshing finish. Very good stuff!

Oct 31, 2007 One of the best APA’s I have. In fact my first APA. This is what got me started on Pale Ales in the first place come to think of it. Awesome beer from an awesome brewery.

Oct 30, 2007 Pours a hazy reddish orange. Aroma of malt, hops, grasses. Flavour is of a fulled bodied pale ale, clean and refreshing beer. Malts, hops prevail in a well balanced beer. Another fine product from Stone.

Oct 29, 2007 12 oz bottle. Pours hazy reddish orange with small ivory head. The aroma is sticky piney hops with some melon and raisin. The flavor is kind of cedary at first, then takes on an interesting disembodied bitterness. Some slight sugar and caramel notes float around there, too. The finish is surprisingly dry for what the body is. Refreshing.

Oct 28, 2007 Bottle - A very nice pale ale. We have to buy this one at a specialty store here, but it is worth it.
