Description:
Stone Pale Ale is our Southern California take on the classic British ale. Deep amber in color, this beer is a robust and full-flavored interpretation of the traditional style. Its bold malt character is perfectly complemented by a judicious amount of hops, lending it a subtly enticing aroma. This is an ale for those who have learned to appreciate distinctive flavors and have a thirst for something out of the ordinary. (Description provided by company)

Comments
Not your typical Pale Ale
The Stone Pale Ale pours a translucent orange, with about a finger's worth of a creamy off-white head. The head dissipates quickly and leaves a nice lacing along the glass.
The beer smells primarily of the crisp malt along with a very distinct citrus scent, with a less pronounced hop aroma. The taste is a balance of the hops and malt, with the citrus flavor at the finish and a bitter aftertaste that lingers.
Feels medium-light in the mouth with a moderate amount of carbonation.
