Description:
We're best known for brewing aggressive, big-character beers, but we love a great sessionable ale as much as anyone. Most beers at the less-weighty end of the spectrum lack flavor and depth as much as they lack high ABVs, but not Stone Levitation Ale! This deep amber brew has a rich maltiness, big hoppy character, citrus overtones, and an impressively modest alcohol content for a beer with so much flavor packed into it.

Comments
A Surprising Red Ale
The Stone Levitation Ale pours a deep amber that is clear if held up to light. Pours with about a half finger of head, with very good retention and attractive lacing.
The aroma of malt is a little more subtle with the hops bringing a sharp citrus and peppery flavors. The taste is malt up front with the bitterness of the hops at the finish. The pepper and floral flavors come through most at the finish. Very nice and clean finish, with a dry and short aftertaste.
In the mouth the beer has a medium-light body and moderate carbonation. Feels lighter in the mouth than the reddish-amber color suggests.
