Arrogant Bastard Ale

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

Intense Hop. Great beer. The bottle is also great if you used to reading beer labels

Rusty amber pour with a fluffy and persistent head. Rich toasty malty nose. Very full of flavor with fully bodied malty caramel flavor with a perfectly balanced bite of hop to back it up. Smooth finish of lingering caramel and hop. Delicious.

Bomber. Nothing new can be said about this, but it deserves its reputation. Brown-red pour, big soft head. Plenty of malt, but not too sweet. Creamy texture. NW hops that, by today’s standards, are almost restrained. Great beer from a cocky brewery.

On Tap, I was very impressed with this beer. Nicely balanced, with great flavor.

Bottle. Muddy brown pour with nice offwhite head with good lacing. Aromas of green grapes and citrus and sweet malt. Slightly sweet up front with evergreen hops and a lingering bitterness. Smooth mouthfeel.

I remember getting a bottle of this at a beer shop in Erie Pa. It was malty with a hop backbone. I remember how much I liked it, and how it was one of the first good micro brews I had ever had. It was my "calling" beer to convert me to the other side of beer. The side everyone who drinks beer needs to see. This beer opened up many doors for me. Maybe it was the labeling on the beer that intrigued me to buy it.....

22oz bottle. Poured a beautiful amber with a thick, frothy cream colored head with great retention and great sticky lacing. Smells of bready caramel malts, some plum, and brown sugar along with a little hoppiness. Taste has a hoppy fruitiness up front with a nice transition to the malt flavor as it sits on the pallet. It finishes leaving a nice delicious bitterness. A nice big balanced beer.

the first craft beer i ever tasted. very good!!! well balanced, nice head, and easy to drink.
