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.

"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."

"a little less of everything than Alpha King, but rates super high as far as drinkability. the flavor and aroma are a little subdued, especially for Stone, but it's still more than enough. one of the better pales around."

[4] Review by Cybercat from Atlanta, GA, USA who has tried this beer once. (11/8/2008 7:28:55 PM)
"Pours a beautiful clear amber with a frothy and not too persistent head. Aroma is strong and has a nice balance of malt and hops, leaning towards malt. Flavor is surprisingly hoppy, but not quite like an IPA - malt and hops contribute equally to the flavor, and hop bitterness is minimal. Texture is smooth and delightful."

[5] Review by Phil B from Gatineau, Canada who has tried this beer once. (9/22/2008 3:59:22 PM)
"Bottle: Poured a deep hazy orangey color ale with an average foamy head with average retention and some lacing. Aroma consists of Cascade hops with some caramel malt also discernable. Taste is a mix between some caramel malt with some dominating Cascade hops which provide a citrusy and bitter taste. Full body with some average carbonation. Good but drinkability good have been better – too full too be a session beer and too light in terms of hops to be truly interesting."
