Assertively bitter and very dry.
The malt sets the frame and lets the hops carry the flavour.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Stone ///Fear.Movie.Lions
◎ Appearance
Pours a light gold with a subtle haze characteristic of the New England style. The fluffy white head settles to a thin collar with moderate lacing down the glass. Carbonation is visible as fine, steady streams throughout the body.
◌ Aroma
The nose leads with fresh fruit notes—strawberry and citrus from the Loral and Mosaic hops. A pronounced juicy, tropical character emerges with pineapple and stone fruit, underscored by a subtle herbal whisper of white sage. The aromatic profile balances brightness with a restrained floral complexity.
◐ Taste
The palate opens with a crisp entry of mixed berry—strawberry, blueberry, and grape—recalling fresh juice more than traditional malt sweetness. The mid-palate maintains that juicy character with a light, refreshing body and hints of white sage adding complexity. A moderate, clean bitterness develops toward the finish without dominating.
◑ Finish
The finish is short and dry, with the moderate bitterness fading cleanly. No significant aftertaste lingers; the beer leaves the palate refreshed and ready for the next sip.
