Arrogant Bastard Ale

Brewed by Stone Brewing Co.
Style: American Strong Ale
Escondido, California USA

A typical beer from stone... Flavor is dominated by West Coast hops, but it isn’t overly citrusy. Medium caramel malt backbone which balances it really well. Big and bold, and I like it!

Draft Pours a medium dark brown with a tan head. Aroma of citrus and malt with a little bit of hops. Medium body...it is what it is...

Very overpowering hoppy taste, reminded me a lot of an IPA with its bitterness. Hard to really rate it since its not an IPA, but decent nonetheless.

Dark amber pour with good head and lacing. Nose is some really pleasant floral hops and alcohol. Taste is overpoweringly, brutally hoppy, but with some good malt balance. Honestly though, this beer is all about hops—bitter, floral, and delicious. Pretty damned good.

From 220z botte. pours a ruby with a big tan head. The nose is sweet malt with a citrusy hoppy aroma. Malt, fruity flavor with lots of hops. Nutty, caramel, and lingering citrus round out the prolonged notes. Bitter lingering aftertaste. A beer that I hope I am worthy of.

Pours a red copper color. Lots of hops in the flavor but not nearly as aggressive as Ruination. An enjoyable beer if hops is your thing!

Haha, fits the title perfectly. Red-brown pour, strong floral/hops in the nose. Flavor is what the bottle leads one to expect. Bold and hoppy, lots going on but not busy.

Dark amber color with a nice beige head, aroma is hopy with some floral notes, flavor is hoppy as well and mouthfeel don’t let me lies, hop is everything in this beer! Good stuff!
