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.

Hazy brown body with an off-white head. Stronh hoppy flavour (grapefruit, citrus). Heavily bitter, lightly sweet flavour. Not perfectly balanced - mouthfeel somewhat watery. Nevertheless drinks quite easily. Nice.

355 ml bottle @ Patricks. Practically clear amber body with a moderate sized off-white head. Quite light, but nice citric aroma, peaches, grapefruit, pine and caramel. Fresh anf fruity flavor with soft malt, pleasant bitterness and citric fruit. Medium body and medium aftertaste. Nice and easy to drink beer, but a bit to plain for wanting another.

Bottle, at Patricks. A clear, amber beer with a small, off-white head. Lightly piney on the nose, some caramel and citrus. Rather weak, but pleasant. The flavour is quite similar, followed by a nice bitterness. Medium body, pleasant carbonation. Mostly bitter finish, with some caramel hints. A quite pleasant one, easy drinkable. 120823
