nefarious (52), grand blanc, Michigan, USA May 17, 2008 Wow! Pours a light orange, sweet hoppy, bitter. awesome summer beer! I get caught up sipping on IPA’s, IIPA’s and stouts that I forget how good this is.
minch25 (195), Columbus, Ohio, USA Oct 12, 2008 Murky copper; thin head. Bready aroma. Light bready flavor, medium body, soft carbonation. Hint of meaty sweetness. High drinkability. Reserved hopping. Being just this side of tasting metallic suggests it is best drunk fresh. A_R (319), Georgia, USA Oct 11, 2008 Very good Pale Ale. This has a nice hop taste but is wonderfully balanced with the malts. Very drinkable. lithy (247), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA Oct 8, 2008 Deep coppery orange-red color with a finger of quickly receding eggshell head. Much darker than I expected. Aroma is floral hops and caramel maltiness. Body is mostly cool malt and just enough hops to balance. Seems more of an amber ale than an APA. Still good, but SNPA is king here. colemgm8 (388), Alpharetta, Georgia, USA Oct 5, 2008 bottle. Stone is finally in GA!!! I have had many of their beers before, but am so amped that they are within an arm’s reach now. This has to be one of the best APA’s available on the market.... simply wonderful. pours a deep amber/copper with a good sized white head. You can smell the hops as you pour it... Stone never lets you down in that dept. very pleasant hop aroma with some citrus and bread notes. very full body with the hops up front and very smooth over the top and sides. solid bitter finish for an APA. solid session beer.... one of my new favorites for middle of the day drinking. durhambeer (539), Durham, USA Oct 5, 2008 Bright clear amber pour with generous off-white head and nice lacing. I really like this beer, and I’m not a huge lover of pale ales. Pine wood, a bit of earthy dust, and some toffee on the nose, with more of a hint of hops than a full noseful. Some biscuit, grain and fruit in the mouth and a touch of sweetness. Also nice floral hints. Very malty for a pale ale, I think. Very satisfying. My new session beer...
