Commercial Description:
This is an aggressive beer. You probably won’t like it. It is quite doubtful that you have the taste or sophistication to appreciate an ale of this quality and depth.

22 oz bottle pours out a nice dark amber topped off with a tan head. There are a nice mix of Hops and a little citrus. A Very nice beer.

From 22 oz bottle with the neat label. This poured dark amber with nice tan head. Strong hops and malts greet you. Takes over your mouth in a hurry and is easy to drink. Flavor of malts and hops in good balance. Long bitter finish. This is everything a craft beer should be. Yum, yum, yum. Love this one.

Quite another surprise that I haven’t rated this beer for some damn reason. I figured why not get a bottle and get it done tonight? Aroma is huge grapefruit, slightly roasty, nutty and a bit fruity. Appearance is dark copper in color, with a small creamy one-finger thick head. Flavor is big, big hops with enough grapefruity hops to please even the most hardcore hophead and a good dose of raisny/caramel sweetnees to keep it all nicely balanced. While I personally enjoy Ruiniation as my Stone beer of choice, this is a damned tasty beer just the same. Recommended!

Bomber thanks to Eric. Pours a deep red that borders on purple with a great massive beige head. The nose is mostly malt and hops. The taste is subdued but really good; a smooth malt with strong hop flavors. There is also some fruit and smokey hints. A rich and balanced brew; I really appreciate this one and the oak-aged version. A beer I could drink everyday.

Pours to a nice red-brown color. Great, strong cantalope-like aroma. Sweet malt taste upfront with a surprising and pleasant hop finish thats very well balanced. Leaves a nice taste in your mouth. A very pleasant experience every time. I’ve yet to try a beer from Stone that didn’t agree with me.

Stone, you are my hero! Probably one of the best beers I have ever had, hands down. Body is dark amber, almost a red with about a half inch of foamy white head. Aroma is incredible. It almost made my eyes water. Hoppy to the max with some citrusy notes present as well. Taste is a well balanced hops/citrus/malt mixture that leaves an interesting sweet and sour bitter aftertaste. Mouthfeel is crisp and clean. This stuff hits the nail right on the head. Aggressive indeed!
