Stone Pale Ale

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

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.

a strong pale. fairly hoppy on the finish. pours deep orange red.some lacing. refreshing, but vocal.

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.

Pour was copper and hazy with with thin frothy head of off white aromas are of hops,pine and citrus flavors are of an earthy pine hops and and malts overall I do very much like this

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.

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.
