Keg at BD SB . It pours clear golden orange with a thick white head. The nose is pine needles, straw, varnish and peach/porridge. The taste is crisp, bitter, citrus peel, apricot, varnish, pine needles and a touch of biscuit with a dry, bitter finish. Light body and moderate carbonation. Not a whole lot to it, but a rather drinkable low abv beer/session Ipa....

On my third and last flight of the afternoon at The Liberty Station on 17th March 2014. Beer Card stated 8.2% ABV. Golden with a white head that soon dispersed to a collar and wisp. Slight hop aroma with odd fruit and veg smells, not what I want to smell in a beer. Luckily the taste wasn’t like a mixed bag of produce from the grocery store. The hops rule the flavours with mild citrus notes to the fore becoming more bitter towards the end of each sip. Hides the alcohol well considering it’s body depth and lack of maltiness within it’s make up. OK more than ’great’ and the only Stones beer I had on the day that didn’t get my taste buds excited.

Keg at Stone Liberty Station, 18/04/14. Clear golden with a moderate off white head that retains well. Nose is subtle hops, citric sherbets, bitter orange, grass, a little thin for the ABV perhaps but pleasant enough. Taste comprises punchy hops, bitter orange, grapefruit, straw, pine. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close laced with hop bitterness. Decent enough IPA but maybe lacks a little depth for the ABV.

Taste comprises caramel malt, boozey tones, bitter grapefruit, tangy orange. Full bodied, fine carbonation, agrressive hop bitterness in the close.

Wanted the lower alcohol beers on my first flight while visiting the Liberty Station Stone outlet on 17th march 2014: this slotted right into that ’lower alcohol’ bracket. Black in the sunlight, with a tanned foam covering. The nose was all ’over roasted’ maltiness with coffee and bitter dark chocolate esters to the fore. Those two aromas also shaped the taste giving a mocha feel to the flavours. The hops gave a dry bitter bite to the brew with the malts offering little in sweetness to counter them. A pleasant and different beer from Stone to anything I’d had before.
