Arrogant Bastard Ale

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

Bottle: Poured Dark reddish brown clear, but not easily seen thrugh. Thin but consestant head. Nice resinous piney hops smell. Taste was smooth with a slightly toasty burnt malt under tone with a touch piney hops. Ending is bitter but smooth. Typical very good Stone brew.

Hazy orange pour with a small white head leaving some lacing on the galass. Small slow bubbles. Citrus and hops in the aroma. Full bodied with medium carbonation. Total hop explosion. Bitter floral and citrus in the falvour. Long citrus and floral finish.

Pours a deep reddish brown/mahogany with thick tan boulders that dissipated to a solid film and left great lacing. Pine hops were the strongest aroma with roasted malts clearly present. A delicious beer, strong resinous hoppy flavor balanced with strong maltiness that lingered in the background. Medium body with light carbonation that left a real good mouth feel. High alcohol content was not evident at all.

Had a reddish-orange color, with a decent amount of head and lacing. Great hoppy taste balanced by the malts, with a smooth finish. Another excellent offering from Stone. LC

Hoppier than expected - oily, rough, pine, little citrus. Lovely dark amber hue. Wasn’t feeling this style when I had it, but it wasn’t bad.

BOTTLE: I am a tough rater. You probably won’t like me. It is quite doubtful that you have the intelligence to understand comments of this quality and depth.

(bottle from Weber St Liqour in Colorado Springs). Pours a cloudy dark amber color. Large tan head. Sweet aroma. Heavy hop and malt flavors. Long duration. Slightly oily texture. Bitter finish. Good lacing. Moderate carbonation.

Bottle at Olympen, Oslo. Beautiful, hazy ruby red copper with a lacing, yellowish head. Fruity hop aroma with apples and lime in the lead. Bitter hop flavours, some toffee to balance. Green apples, grapefruit and grass. Well-carbonated, full body. Deserving the attitude.
