On tap at Flying Saucer, Addison. Dark, shiny amber, sweet toasty bread herbal aroma with a roasted rich perfectly hopped and nicely balanced resiny-clean taste. Lively, exciting mouthfeel, would order again-highly sessionable.

Rich an balanced. I was surprised it didn’t have any grapefruit flavor like I expected. A small sweet note. Excellent.

On tap at the Burger Bar in Las Vegas. Pours a clear, amber red body with a thin, khaki pink head that leaves a light, oily lacing. The head does come back with a swirl. Aroma is sweet caramels and even sweeter berries and melons. A lighter than anticipated, floral and earthy citrus, but still nice. Just not as over the top as some other Stone’s that I’ve had. Flavor is similar and very well balanced with a nice, light to medium amount of earthy bitterness. Malty and fruity with a semi long, dry finish. Medium bodied and smooth. Overall, a solid pale ale. Not as intense as I was hoping for, but quite enjoyable nonetheless.

"Body appears hazy brown/orange, there is a small skiff of cap produce during the poor and this lasted a very long time. The hops in the aroma are mild but still very aggressive. Is that watermelon I smell? I as I review this brew and watch T.V. the beer is getting warmer and more malts and earthy tones are coming out. Flavor is a touch watery and oxidized this might be an older bottle can’t find a date on it. Nice malty flavor that reminds me of leather and bread dough. The hops are very easy to detect but still subdued enough to let the malt come through. Tasty brew not the best I’v ever had but this drinkable and I would gladly drink it again."

Bottle. Pours orangish with a small head. Aroma has citrusy hops and a balanced malt character. Flavor is fruity and slightly vegetal initially, but moves predicably towards some clean hop bitterness in the finish. Good, but all in all quite tame.

Bottle - pours brownish amber with a 1 finger white head. Nose is of malt and hops. Taste is decent, nothing to write home about. Finishes with a little carbonation and aftertaste lingers of hops. Not bad but certainly not my favorite APA.

pours amber. Nice mixture of caramel, citrus, grapefruit and floral hops in the nose. Not overly hopped, but not malt forward. Nice balance of bitter and sweet. Excellent pale ale.

This pours a hazy amber orange, with an off-white head. Leaves an alright lace. This has a sweet malt nose with a hint of spice. The taste is about the same with a nice bitter pine hop finish. A good beer.
