Sep 25, 2002 The perfume is IPA all the way. very tart and complex. Tangy. It is an amber ale delightful to gaze at but better to drink. It has a variety of flavors right off the bat. Caramel with a hint of toffee. Huminee, huminee. Really pleasant tasting (I’mm embibing as I write this). Nice rich beer if just a tad young. Overall I enjoy this beer but would still choose a nice IPA over it but hey...I wouldn’t turn her down either. Firestone Pale Ale is like an average looking chick with a lovely rack!!!

Sep 23, 2002 Gold color, medium head. Medium malty, hoppy ale. Crisp malt flavor, good hop balance. Some subtle fruity overtones. Finish is clean, Aftertaste is delicately bitter. Very nice.

Sep 15, 2002 Seems like Firestone likes to take on English influnces. Nose shows shortbread beneath a typically Californian citric aroma. Palate is smooth, lightly carbonated. Flavor has a biscuity malt that’s just a little dry and too light but is pleasing anyway. There’s some peppery spice towards the end and a good lemony citrus finish.

Aug 30, 2002 A solid west coast pale ale. Orange brew, good label. Citrus gel, west coast hops, sweet and bitter flavors. C02 sting. Some nutty tones when you lick yer moustache. Fast finish on a satisfying light palate.

Aug 24, 2002 Not a bad beer by any rating, but I’d go for the Firestone Double Barrel over this one...

Aug 18, 2002 Excellent Pale Ale. Sweet citrusy aroma upon pouring. Smooth finish - doesn’t leave a lingering taste in the mouth like some pales tend to do. Just the right amount of hoppiness.
