Our flagship ale, Stone Pale Ale is our Southern California interpretation of the classic Britsh pale ale style. Deep amber in color, Stone Pale Ale is robust and full flavored. A delicate hop aroma is complemented by a rich maltiness. This is an ale for those who have learned to appreciate distinctive flavor. 1st Release Date: July 1996.

[1] Review by pfoxyjohn from Watertown, WI, USA who has tried this beer many times. (8/12/2010 11:09:31 AM)
"Hazy yellow-gold color with a moderate white head and good lace; very similar to the Ruination. Mildly bitter soft grapefruit aroma. Initial smooth mouthfeel quickly turns sharp and crisp. Nicely balanced flavors of bready grain and citrusy hops. A solid APA but not that exceptional. MUSIC: 'Homeward, These Shoes' by Iron & Wine. "Homeward with heaven above me / Old road behind me, a door up ahead"

"Probably the best American Pale Ale I've tried yet, but if I'm going to buy a Stone Beer its going to be their India Pale Ale. Overall, this is pretty good if you aren't in the mood for something too hoppy."

"A great pale ale, but after having the Imperial (IPA), it just couldn't compete. Don't get me wrong - that's just comparing those two - it stands head and shoulders after most others. Still a treat."
