Note: Sadly, language not appropriate for young readers My Review: The "Arrogant Bastard Ale" by Stone Brewing Company.
This is a great beer from Stone in San Diego. Despite the name, AB Ale really isn't all that intimidating. But, the marketing material on the bottle sure is funny. For example: "Questions or comments? If you don't like this beer, keep it to yourself - we don't want to hear from any sniveling yellow-beer drinking wimps, 'cause this beer wasn't made for you."
The beer is very tasty, and I'd give it a high rating...esp. if you like hoppy beers. The beer has a nice amber color and a warm, rich, boozy nose. The flavor is rich and complex. Aggressively hopped with big character. Brilliant and bold aromas of citrus, pine sap, honeydew, Panatonne, and circus peanuts. Finishes with a smooth burnt sugar and mildly astringent fade.
I'd recommend adding this to your new year resolutions: try this beer!
