This isnt my first Stone beer, and I swear I reviewed this before, but its not showing up, so I'll review it again.

A: Beer pours an amber-orange color with a solid 1 1/2 in, bright white head that leaves some good lacing.

S: Smell comes right out of the glass and is strong. Nice, strong, hoppy aroma accompanied by some pine and citrus.

T: Initial taste gives a good hop bite with a grapefruit flavor, which is followed by pine resin and some honey-wheat in the finish.

M: Mouth is sweet and tart,giving a piney, grapefruit feel from beginning to end. Not a lot of carbonation, but is very drinkable for me.

O: Leaning toward the side of an IPA, this pale ale is one of the more common Stones that you can find. Regardless, it is a good start point for getting into the Stone variety and a very good pale ale!

Transparent amber and tons of carbonation. Rich, creamy ivory colored head with excellent retention and plenty of stickage to the glass.

Malty, bready aroma. Some spices, herbs and rye. Hint of pine.

Dense malt character, buttered biscuits and toasted rye. Subtle pine and leaf hop. Well balanced.

Medium bodied, smooth in the middle and dry in the end. Well carbonated.

NIce pale ale. Solid flavor and good balance.

This one is a clear and copper colored brew. The head is white and leaves a nice lace. The smell is clean and balanced with both malt and hop qualities. Herbal and earthy in aroma...some underlying stone fruit.m the taste is more assertive....bitter ans strong. On the dry side, but lots of malt flavor. Hop resin and flavor is prominent throughout. Full body and satisfying.

Appearance: Nice copper color, decent white head, leaves good lacing

Smell: Fruit and caramel malts, along with floral and citrus hops

Taste: Hoppy, with some bitterness, floral and citrus. Caramel malt sweetness backs it up some, with some fruit and nut flavor. Very well balanced

Mouthfeel: Light to medium body, good carbonation

Overall: Excellent example of the style. This brew always makes me happy, as I don't have it as often as other pale ales.

Serving type: on-tap
