Founded by Greg Koch and Steve Wagner, Stone Brewing has come a long way since opening in San Diego County in 1996. Now the ninth-largest craft brewer in the U.S., we operate brewing facilities on both coasts – Escondido, California and Richmond, Virginia. On top of making badass beers for over two decades, we operate restaurants and tap rooms across three continents as well as the largest craft-centric beer distribution business in the U.S. Our beers are available in all 50 states and more than 40 countries worldwide.

Can purchased and consumed at Walther Mai, München Thursday 20th February 2024. Pours warm gold bordering o. Fanta orange colour, white head. Citrus, notably lemon and lime, quite bitter, zesty and tasting quite fresh considering the can date was 19/07/24. I suspect that with the decision by Stone to stop exporting to Europe, I won't be seeing many more of their beers in the coming months.This is a good beer, drinks easy for the ABC, like it.

Can from Sprouts Market in Woodland, CA. Pours hazy gold with a large creamy off-white head. Aroma is juicy. Med body. It's juicy but more towards dry than malty sweet. Decently bitter. Flavor seems tropical - passion fruit or pineapple and likely melon. Good flavor.

Can from Sprouts Market in Woodland, CA. Pours clear brassy gold with a humongous creamy/foamy white head. Aroma of citrus and resin. Med plus body. Not really dry, but the malt isn't overwhelming. Not strongly bitter, but the resin and citrus (but not citrus/pine) are pretty good. A bit of orange sneaks in. Very pleasing ale.

Can from Sprouts Market in Woodland, CA. Pours dark gold with a decent creamy white head. Aroma of tangerine. Med body. Dry. Moderately bitter. There's a dank aspect. Lots of citrus - more tangerine and orange than the other citruses. Goes a bit astringent in the finish. Pretty good.

Hazy yellowish golden colour, mediumsized white foamy head. Aroma is floral, some nectary and mild toffeeish tones. Flavour is floral, some oaty, mild nectary and some tropical fruitiness too. Low on the bitterness.

Can shared at Benny’s place, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a clear medium amber colour with a mostly lasting frothy white head. The aroma is grainy, herbal, light toffee. The flavour is moderate sweet and bitter, with a smooth, fresh, toffee malt, light citrus, earthy, herbal, woody hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Nicely balanced and dangerously drinkable.

Lattina. Il gusto al naso è indirizzato verso pompelmo, ananas, luppolo e frutta tropicale. L'olfatto viene stimolato in maniera molto elevata e l'esistenza olfattiva è considerevole. Il cappello di schiuma resiste abbastanza. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il liquido è di aspetto velato. Il colore è giallo ambrato. Il corpo è strutturato non pesante. L'amaro è carico. La forza gustativa è molto elevata e la permanenza è lunga. Il gusto è piacevolissimo. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano luppolate. Al gusto vengono donati toni di miele, crosta di pane, frutta secca, luppolo, resina, pino, agrumi, pompelmo, ananas, frutta tropicale e frutta passita.

Lattina. All'olfatto si esprimono sentori di salato e di aria salmastra. La finezza olfattiva è elevata e il modo in cui permane è apprezzabile. Il manto birroso superiore è caratterizzato da una schiuma che resiste poco. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il liquido è di consistenza limpida. Bollicine medio-fini costituiscono anche la forma del perlage, con carbonazione persistente ed insistita. Il colore è giallo dorato brillante. Il corpo è pieno. L'amaro è deciso e c'è anche una componente leggermente acidula e una di umami. La forza gustativa è elevata e la permanenza è sufficiente. Il gusto è piacevole. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di birra beverina. Il retrogusto è di decente intensità. L'aroma in bocca porta i segni di miele, mais, luppolo, agrumi, arancia e lime.
