Stone Cellar English Six Grain Ale

Brewed by Stone Cellar Brewpub
Style: English Pale Ale
Appleton, Wisconsin USA

A dark golden color with a white head. The aroma contains some rye, freshly baked raisin bread and some mild citrus. The flavor is slightly sour with a doughy presence. More of that raisin bread in the flavor. Some caramel and rye show up as well. Overall this was an interesting beer, I kind of like it!

Picked up a single 12-oz bottle from brewpub. Pours a clear copper amber brew with an average off-white head that dissolves to a fine film . Aroma of bread dough, rye, oatmeal, and a touch of flowery hops. Taste is medium body, light carbonated, some spicy multi-grain, with a dry finish. Nice rye/oatmeal aftertaste.

Bottle. Cloudy light gold pour with a large white head. Light citrus nose with a bit of marshmallow crème. Toffee flavor with a light citrus note. A lot of sweetness and very refreshing after a long day. The rye comes through with a nice candy flavor. A pretty good little beer. Ap-4 ar-7 tas-7 pal-3 ov-15

From the bottle. Light orange color that is a little hazy. The aroma is light tangerines. There is also a nutty note. The taste is bread with some walnuts. There is also a little bit of wood. The finish is dry and crisp with a bite of grapefruit. This is interesting and refreshing.

Draught sample at the brewpub, early October 2006. Dark gold verging on light amber with a smallish off-white head diminishing to a lasting ring....grapy, bready initial aroma becomes increasingly spicy with warmth as rye/carroway and hints of juniper show up....body is grainy with noticeable oats and corn presence, rye spiciness mixing nicely with wheaty sourness towards the finish, rough and tart and rather "wild" in feel, quite distinctive if not by any means an every day tipple. Surprised at the number of low ratings here, to me this verges on special.

Hazy dark yellow pour with some mape and brown sugar in the nose, malty flavor, with rye bread and a smooth finish. Great!

On tap at the Brewpub. Poured a lighter-golden with a medium off-white head. Whole lot going on in the aroma... perfumey hops, biscuit, corn, soap, medium fruit sugars, and caramel were all in there. Flavor had a caramel base with layers of spicy rye, floral bitters, corn, and light fruits over it. Mild bitterness around the sides. I thought this was quite intriguing, and I’d probably have another.

A nicely balanced rye. Colour is a clear copper colour with a full light brown head. Taste is firm, acidic and chewy. Dry hop character exploding out of your glass, floral aroma, grass and cloves.
