Bottled. Tastes like some hopped up water. I could say more to beat the low character count, but there is no need.

Bottle. OK, I didn’t know this was as A-B product. Probably caused me to score it lower when I found out. Not a bad beer. It did taste like a pale ale. Had a fruity, hoppy taste but kind of bland. Light color. Overall, it’s worth one try.

From Dec 2006
Poured from 12oz bottle a medium gold with a large head of foam
that hung around for the entire session as a thick layer with some lacing.
The smell is a mix of sweet malt and hop bitterness but it's on the light side.
The taste is the same as the nose but the hop bittering is a little more pronounced than what the malt is offering. There's some citrus there and it's definitely on the bitter side but it's not hitting my palate in a way that I'd like and, there's finally some semi sweet malt hitting my taste buds after a few more sips. This one's kind of a strange tasting Pale Ale overall...I wonder if it's because it's organic?
Bottom line: An interesting interpretation of the style but one I'll probably not revisit.

Overall Impression: To review this beer I will just modify the commercial description from above... To craft a remarkable Pale Ale, you must begin with the finest ingredients. Stone Mill Pale Ale is made with 100% organic barley malt, certified by the USDA for a classic taste that is the perfect balance of maltiness and hop bouqet. To craft a mediocre Pale Ale you should just do what we did.

Light golden coloured body with a super thin white head. Aroma of funk, super old and gross hops and a bit of cardboard. Light-bodied; Full of up-front flavour of bitter disgusting hops and gross malt. Aftertaste finishes with more funk, bitter off-flavours and inopportune sweetness and flavours and just generally, bad tastes. Overall, avoid this at all costs, unless for some reason - you like horrible beers. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Oliver’s Beverage in Albany, New York on 10 January 2007.

Tap @ north rim of Grand Canyon. Clear amber color, short head. Aroma of toffee, some hop. Caramel taste, only slight bitter. I thought it was not that bad strangely enough. Maybe I was just really eager for any beer.

Yes, Anheuser-Busch Companies, Inc., but you’d never notice unless you look at the label. Has a microbrew feel to it that is unmissable. Smells spruce fruity sappy candy, reminds me of a heller. Orange transparent brown yellow (31,000). Ale-ish and almost coarse. Aroma is more pungent than the flavor. Has a medicinal bitter linger, yet unoppressive.
