This is a fine beer a nice frothy head and a body that looks like an amber ale... at least more so than an APA. Hoppy aroma and all that. Pretty classy taste, enough hops but the malts are impressive. Slightly sweet at some points. Really drinkable.

Smells great, lots of light fruity, flowery aroma. Pours a copper/amber with a bubbly head. Taste reminds me a lot of Sierra Nevada’s brew. Lots of light fruit, citrus, apricot, some peach. Lots of malt, only a bit of hops. Very good stuff here.

Not impressed with this one at all. As far as a pale ale goes... I can’t realy taste the hops in it. Too rich a maltiness for a pale ale. It’s not even pale... it’s copper.

Poured with a nice frothy, textured head and lots of lace. Nice amber color. Mild hop with some malt nose. Hop flavor is remarkably muted. Not bad, but nothing special. A surprise. Was expecting a lot more from the Stone. Balanced, clean pleasant finish.

Bottle. Pours a bright orangish amber color with a decent off white head. Aroma of malt, spice and light hops.Taste is sweet, earthy with tyhe flavors of malt hops, spices and light fruit (peaches). Extremely smooth and very delightful to drink. An exceptional pale ale.

12-oz. Pours a murky dark burnished amber with a thin, loose, slightly sudsy ring of white bubbles. Buttery, toffeeish nose. Bit of wood there as well. Body’s a little on the light side of medium, fairly soft carb. Mild biscuit and crackers mid-palate with some gentle woody hops rolling around. Not really a very exciting beer...definitely had higher hopes.
