Stone Levitation Ale

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

Pours orange-brown with a white head. Light and sweet aroma of malts and hops. Light-medium body with really nice hop flavor but not too much bitterness. Definitely one of the best session beers.

Bottle. Pours amber red with a beige head. Fresh citric hops in the aroma, along with caramel malt. The flavor is well balanced, with fruity citrus, hops, and caramel malt. Quite good, and at 4.4% ABV, an excellent session ale.

Pours a hazy Amber color with a tinted head. Smells of floral hops. Tastes are wonderfully balanced. Hops have a little pine flavor with hints of floral. Nice sweet malt backbone. But not heavy at all. It’s sweet, malty, hoppy, but still remains very light and crisp. Lots of carbonation.

On tap at the Peekskill Brewery. Pours a clear ruby orange brown with crimson highlights and a thin tanned beige head. Citrus hops with a touch of pine. Thin bodied, but hoppy and a touch sweet, with some malt and a touch of grain. Finishes very dry with a long bitterness.

very surprised at the low alcohol content because this one has all the ingredients of a high volume hop infested ale. My wife hated it, which means that the bitter hops and grapefruit appealed to me. Will drink again.

Pours a clear ruby with a very nice tan head that lingers very excellently... Citrus aroma a touch of sweet malts, not any discernable roast, wonderful aroma for a 4.4% amber ale... Hops up front yield to a slightly sweet malty backbone that does not cut through aggressively... this could be an amazing sessionable ale for the summer time... I’d love to see more american ales with this quality and craft compete with the lower abv beers in the english style...

Pours this great clear copper color. Nice off white head that lasted and left a lot of lacing. Way more hop nose than I was expecting and it smells quite nice. Taste is malty, roasty and higher than expected bitterness. This beer blew me away...a 4% beer that smells great, is fairly complex and tastes great.

Dark reddish-brown with a small head. Aroma is faint and fruity at first. I smell apricot, malt, and some nuts. Not much hops. Did I get the same beer as everyone else? Or did I just get a bad bottle? The flavor is kinda buttery, and malty, with just a hint of hops. As the beer warms, I get this unpleasant flavor that I can best describe as something between lemon and a nasty fart. If I drink it quickly enough, it won’t taste too bad.
