Stone Pale Ale

12 fl oz bottle. Cellar temperature. Pours a lovely amber red with a fluffy head. The aroma was very subtle, hoppy and pleasant. The taste is smooth with a slight bitter after taste. All in all not as outrageous as some of the other Stone Brewing beers. I can see this as an easy drinking every day beer. Wish we could get this in Montreal.

Cask @ The White Horse: Very spicy Christmas aromas. In the mouth you’re smacked with exciting hot-cross-bun style flavours. Light and exciting though maybe the malt outweighs any hop presence a touch too heavily. Smooth and flat.

12 oz. bottle from The Party Source. Pours a slightly cloudy red amber with a medium off-white head that leaves some moderate lacing behind. Aroma of hops, citrus, malts, and floral notes. Balanced flavor- hops, malts, caramel, light citrus, and tea leaves. Smooth, light-bodied, and very easy to drink. Good pale ale but not ’wow’.

My go-to everyday beer. Perfectly balanced hops and complex aromas. The color is classic with a nice reddish hue. A mouthful of balanced flavor and just fizzy enough. British pale ale style with a California flare. I don’t know if a quaffer can get better than this.

Cloudy brown with a perfect white head. Slight citrus aroma, with a subtle caramel sweetness. Moderately rich, great malt flavors permeate this beer and balance the flowery hops. My new favorite pale? You bet!

Pours reddish amber with a small white head that diminishes quickly. Taste is caramel, citrus fruit, and a bit of smoke. Aroma is the same. Smooth, soft palate with medium carbonation. Drinkable and enjoyable.

Standard pale ale. Slightly disappointed as I know Stone has some very good beers. Very typical of the style - lightly flavorful and pleasant.

Pours a deep amber that is a little hazy.Aroma is of floral hops with citrus.Taste is a full flavor of hops with a good citrus and a little malts.Aftertaste is a little bitter.Overall if you like hopy beers you should try this.
