Aug 20, 2008 From a 22oz. bottle purchased locally. Aroma is hoppy, citrus and pineapple with a hint of grain. Color is a clear gold with a white rocky head. First is the hop bitterness and some piney flavor followed by the malt, starting bready and biscuits and followed by some toast. Light, clean, dry finish makes me want another sip. Not heavy. A great American Pale Ale.

Aug 19, 2008 Bottle from Bevmo in Solana Beach. Pours a pale golden color with a thin white head that diminishes quickly. Spotty lacing. Floral hops aroma with notes of citrus and pears. Medium-bodied and moderately hoppy with floral and spiced notes. Some light malt and fruit in the background as well. The finish is mostly hoppy with some biscuity malt behind it, and a lingering bitter aftertaste. Above average overall, however not up to par with what I imagine Stone can accomplish in an APA.

Aug 16, 2008 Incredible nose of pine and citrus - very inviting. Very light in color, very effervescent, with a nice white head. Lemons and pine flavor with a nice, malty sweetness. Very crisp and light bodied. Lingering pine. Absolutely delish!

Aug 16, 2008 Bottled. A hazy golden with an off-white head. The aroma is sweet with notes of grass, grapefruit, malt, and caramel. The flavor is sweet malty with hoppy notes of grass and grapefruit, as well as light notes of elderberry flowers, leading to a dry bitter finish. The body is thin.

Aug 14, 2008 Big thanks to can8ianben for bringing me my first Alesmith brew! Poured a fairly pale golden color with a lively white head. The nose and flavor profile had me very excited at how unique they were. I got undeniable mint and lemon zest throughout the bottle in the nose and the mouth. I’ve never had such a minty brew! Perfectly hopped, many in this category really overdo the hops but these were a nice addition on the finish. My only complaint is that it was a tad on the thin side but I think that may have matched up very well with the flavor profile. Very well balanced, possibly the best I have had in the category.
