Dec 1, 2009 RnH: pint: Embarassed to say I intended this brew to be a palate cleanser during a tasting session... great surprise! A darker, more rich pour than expected, deep amber, leaving about .5 finger of off-white head. The nose was more bitter than expected, medium sweaty hops... also some light citrus/ sour notes. Taste also has a similar balance, higher hop content than I expected from the style (nice surprise again), offset with the citrus and sugars. Easily sessionable brew, very satisfying.

Nov 25, 2009 Bright and hoppy, with a smooth, deep malt finish. Light caramel in color, with clean white head. Moderately carbonated, not too overpowering. One of my favorite pale ales, as it is incredibly well balanced.

Nov 25, 2009 I had this in the bottle. It has a white head and looks like a light brown with a little carbonation. Tastes bitter with malty after-taste.

Nov 23, 2009 (Draught at Capital Pub in Dallas) The name belies the color, dark amber, 1 finger head that recedes to bubbles in 2-3 minutes, and lacing is just ok. Citrus hoppy smells, grapefruit perhaps, nice mellow malts, maybe even orange peel oil. Nicely balanced hops with the malt, no lingering bitterness. Citrus is present but not as much as in the smell. Slightly under-carbonated but creamy and a little watery on the finish.Very drinkable and smooth pale ale.

Nov 22, 2009 All around pleasant beer. Doesn’t stand out but a well done example of the style. Crisp finish.

Nov 21, 2009 Orange and honey aroma. Opaque orange/brown with a thin head. Flavor is of oranges with a little woodiness and light hints of honey, finishing with walnut. Stronger than an ordinary APA and quite possibly couple be an IPA, but delicious.

Nov 11, 2009 12 fl oz bottle. Cellar temperature. Pours a lovely amber red with a fluffy head. The aroma was very subtle, hoppy and pleasant. The taste is smooth with a slight bitter after taste. All in all not as outrageous as some of the other Stone Brewing beers. I can see this as an easy drinking every day beer. Wish we could get this in Montreal.
