Stone Pale Ale

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

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.

comes across as heftier than it really is, almost like a croos between APA and IPA.
makes for a nice session beer. T2 T3,]

a great pale, a nice balance of malt and hops. leaning a little towards the malt side. very enjoyable.

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.
