It’s been said that “Gravity Sucks.” Simple enough. Well, we at Stone have identified gravitational forces in the beer world. And we have come to the conclusion that they, well, see above. So we avoid these less-than-desirable gravitational forces. We avoid dumbed-down flavor profiles and the vigorous pursuit of the lowest common denominator. We avoid big dollar marketing mentalities. We avoid additives, cheap adjuncts, stabilizers and chemical preservatives. So in the defiance of gravity we bring you Stone Levitation Ale. This deep amber ale has rich malt flavors, a big hoppy character, citrus overtones (courtesy of the hops and our special brewers yeast) and modest alcohol.

    This is a great beer to drink in a pub. The low alcohol content lets you have a couple, even if you have to drive home. The taste is really smooth and easy going. Lightly hoppy.

    Characteristics: smooth

    Smooth and easy to drink. Has a nice hop to it, but not quite up to snuff for my taste.

    Copper in color. Hoppy aroma. It has a light body, some toffee flavors, and with a nice hoppy flavor. There is a lighter side to Stone Brewing afterall!

    Characteristics: hoppy toffee

    Wasn’t very delighted with this one. Though initial taste was good, the after taste was left with too much pine.

    Characteristics: piney

    pours dark amber with a little head that faded almost immediately. smells citrus and floral hops.

    taste starts as bitter cascade with sweet malts coming up and finishing off with floral centennial. very well balanced a would be a great session beer.

    Characteristics: cascade centennial floral hoppy malty

    Surprisingly hoppy and great red, great head of flavor. Tastes almost a bit watery, but that might be just where I’m expecting more of an alcoholic bite.

    Characteristics: hoppy reddy watery
