Pours slightly hazy amber with a nice frothy 2-finger head that settled to a cirrus-cloud like film and left nice lacing. Floral hops aromas accompanied solid malts and a hint of freshly cut wood. moderately sharp hops up front on the palate with a generous helping of bread-like maltiness and a touch of caramel and butter. Silky, almost oily mouthfeel, moderately carbonated, and a great bitter hops aftertaste. A classic.

Bottle. 12 oz. Pours murky orangish-amber with a thick, but quickly receding off-white head. Aroma of caramel, grapes, apple, yeast, barley, dry hops, and vanilla. Body is outrageously smooth and refreshing; full, yet not overwhelming. Mouthfeel is slightly sticky, but still clean. Finishes slowly with a bit of tart which lingers on the tongue for awhile. Excellent pale ale.

12 oz bottle. Pours a color of amber and honey with a thin head and a nice, webbed lacing. Malty nose with toasted bread and sugars. Big hops in the taste but does not overpower notes of caramel and citrus. Slightly bitter mouth feel, though entirely expected for the style. Very nice pale ale.

Stone Pale Ale is a slightly hazy, lively, reddish light amber ale with a fluffy, waxy, lumpy, yellowish head that has excellent retention and lacing. It has a grassy aroma with some light malt. here are notes of bread and pineapple. It’s medium-light bodied and lively on the tongue. he finish is crisp and clean. It’s well balanced, not very bitter, but quite hoppy. It’s bright and fruity with notes of tropical fruit, pineapple and tangerine. It’s a refreshing session ale.

(22oz, $3.99)

aroma: rich malty barley-wine.
flavor: sweet-malt juicy-hops T1, rich-toasty-malt §barley-wine-alchl T2, short mild toasty §leafy-hops T3.

comes across as heftier than it really is, makes for a nice session beer.

Pours a red orange clear with minimal head and lacing. Aroma is citrus hops, caramel malts and lemon. Flavor is bittersweet. Palate is crisp, clean and refreshing. Overall, solid beer, easy drinker.

12 oz Bottle -- Pours reddish-amber with a thick off-white head. Lots of grassy and grain notes on the nose with good sweetness. A little caramel is also present and maybe a hint of pear. Dry finish.

RnH: pint: Embarassed to say I intended this brew to be a palate cleanser during a tasting session... great surprise! A darker, more rich pour than expected, deep amber, leaving about .5 finger of off-white head. The nose was more bitter than expected, medium sweaty hops... also some light citrus/ sour notes. Taste also has a similar balance, higher hop content than I expected from the style (nice surprise again), offset with the citrus and sugars. Easily sessionable brew, very satisfying.
