12 oz bottle, thanks to ArrogantB for the trade.
Pale orange pour with a nice head, some decent carbonation and some nice, simple lace.
This is a very nice beer. The kind of beer that revels in its simplicity and the kind of beer that the top US brewers are making way too few of. Some mild hop presence in the nose but not overpowering. Lovely smooth mouthfeel with a soft, biscuit malt presence that is reminscent of many bottle conditioned English beers that we get in the States.
Lovely balance of bitterness and satifying roundness and malty finish.
If ONLY we had Stone in Georgia! This beer would be a staple in my DBF, and a real candidate for an everyday drinker. One of the best built beers I have had in sometime.
