Jun 5, 2009 Pours a nice amber with a medium sized white head. Aroma is strong in malt. Notes of hops, grass, and pine also come out. On the palate this beer is a little heavier than I would expect from a pale ale. The taste is strong in malts, so much so that I almost forgot it is a pale ale. The finish brings out a bit of a bitter bite. THis is not a good example of a pale ale. I think it is lacking in hops. Still, it is a good beer.

Jun 1, 2009 12 oz. bottle. this PA was a bit heavy on the malt for me. nothing stands out as above average. the first Stone beer i do not see buying again, too many better PA’s out there without the stone price tag.

May 29, 2009 What an amazing take on a pale ale. Very nice clean golden amberish color with a white head. Aroma is citrusy and malty. Flavor is much the same a very striking balance of hops and malts. The balance is subtle and complex at the same time, like walking a tight rope.

The flavour is still consistant with the malts being much more prevalent this time. I don’t mind that. Interesting hops. The beer poured out a nice clear deep amber brew with a large active off white crown with decent retention and nice lacing. Aroma has orange (probally darker fruit than that...I can imagine mangos), grapefruit and a very good mix of sweet malt. The taste is still mild with the malts dominating and the hops taking a back seat. Smooth, nice happy mouth. I need a keg of this stuff.
Another killer Stone brew. Light copper brew poured decent head if I remember (I was cut). Incredible tasty light hop flavour and bitterness that finishes cirtusy and bitter. Empty glass in 10 mins tops. You SoCal guys got it good. Had this in some over rated, over priced fish restaraunt in Temecula, CA in late Jan ’06. Drink everything Stone.

May 28, 2009 Sample at Rozi’s Wine House Stone Brewing Co. Event. First smell was really strange - like opening the dishwasher right after it’s done. Perhaps that was just some supped up lemon/pine combinations in the beer. A bit bitter with a light copper appearance and off-white head.

May 28, 2009 Pine and lemon , nice caramel and grain cereal malt backbone. Really refreshing, smooth finish - balanced and sessionable, one of Stone’s better offerings.
