Stone Levitation Ale

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

Amber with nice off-white head and decent lacing. Pine aroma, dry hop flavor with a cloying finish.

This pours with a TON of foam that sticks around for up to half an hour. Smell is not very prevalent but there is some hints of citrus. The flavor has a very malty backboen in addition to some decent citrus hoppiness. A very pleasant sessionable beer.

Poured orangey-amber with a tan head. Light, yeasty aroma. Palate was light as well. Has a mild hops taste with a slight grassiness underneath, As it warms, a grapefruity hops note becomes more noticable. Very nice lighter offering.

dark amber with a beige head. somewhat thin. slight hops with a somewhate bolder malt base. enjoyable for what it is.

This is an extremely well thought out use of hops. Yes they are the main aroma of the beer with citrus and a slight pine to it. Yes most of the flavor comes from the bittering hops. But this is just a plain and simple enjoyable beer. Add to this the perfect amber color and head that comes up to a peak and it is no wonder why this ale is award winning

This beer was very thick with alot of flavors mingling together. There was some citrus and some yeast taste but overall it was just a hoptastic adventure.

Bottle thanks to Soonah. Dark amber red with a reddish beige foam, sticky sheets of lacing. Citrus, spicy hop aroma, caramel, fruity, apples. Taste is much more maltiness, crystal bite, apples, light floral hops but little bitterness.

Not a big fan of ambers but this is a nice lil brew. Until now it’s been a couple years since I had a Levitation but it is exactly as I remember it. Pours a nice cloudy medium brown, smells sweet and a bit nutty. Pretty robust flavor for something this weak, tastes good but the end is sort of bitter. Overall very drinkable, a prime brew to crack at 11am in january in the balmy San Diego winters.
