It’s nice to see bottles of this again in the stores. It had been years since St. Stan’s was in bottle so a recent trip to the store and I’m two 6-packs richer of St. Stan. This beer pours out a solid amber color, clear with a nice two-finger thick off-white head which dissipated to about half an inch thick and stayed there. Aroma is iced tea, light caramel and a touch of grassy hops. Mouthfeel is a bit watery. Flavors had that tannic iced tea quality, minimally sweet with a low bitterness level that was undefined. Easy to drink, nothing offensive or pleasing either way.

Mildly roasted caramel nose with a faint touch of hops. Mild iced tea notes follow on the palate again with mild hopping. Clean finish.

Decent beer, very very thin, slightly bitter, quickly dissapating head. Seems pretty well balanced, but does seem like your typical amber beer.

This was a hard Alt to rate. Very thin despite its bitterness. Not well balanced at all, with little malt flavor detected. No lacing, no head. Both this and the Red Sky I got in my beer of the month club, and they were all below average, so I wonder about whether they were past their prime or light struck.

Bottled. Nothing special here. Tasted like any other amber.

The first taste was sour and bitter and the beer never recovered. Just a little better than average in taste.

Medium brown color. Crisp and refreshing, somewhat malty. Nicely hoppy. Good balance. Finish is clean. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.
