11-6-07 Bottle. Watery gold color with really nice head that lasted forever. Muted citris earthy aroma - hints of oak too. Very very very carbonated. The carbonation overpowers the taste. Flavor just isnt there like I want or expect it to be. Somewhat weak and watery for me. Metallic finish to boot - just not my favorite.

does not count  Aug 21, 2008 Had this at my wedding. A great beer to just drink all night long. Clean, crisp, refreshing, but flavorful enough to keep you interested.

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.
