Poured into a 16 pint glass on draft and on accident at The Union Diner, thought it was the IPA, but knew by the look and taste it wasn't. Pours a light vibrant yellow with a fluffy white head that leaves behind a wall of lace.
Smell is lemon grass, biscuit, grain, and a little peppery hops.
Taste follows biscuit, lemon, earthy hops, and breadyness.
Mouthfeel is light, loads of carbonation, not dry, and very easy drinking.
Overall this a good blonde ale, not something I would normally order, but a pretty nice beer.

Not a big fan of blonds, but this beer is very enjoyable. Pours a classic yellow blonde color with three fingers head. Smell was wheat, some hops. Taste was balanced and smooth. Easy to drink. A good - very good beer.

From the 25 oz. bottle. Sampled on October 28, 2015.
The pour is a cloudy looking pale yellow with bubbling carbonation leading up to a huge, lingering frothy head.
The aroma covers an array of characters including bread, biscuit, garden herbs, earth, and tropical fruit. The hop character is there but subdued.
Medium to full body.
Same sort of toast and herbal characters in the taste but the moderate earthy bitterness lingers at the finish.

Bottle. Pours a hazy yellow color with a thick head. Smells of floral hops and grain. Very floral. Nothing too intense, though. Pretty simple, too. Flavor is again very floral. It's also grassy. Really standoffish maltiness. Don't love the hop profile but could still easily plow through several of these weird looking bottles if the price made sense. It's a little lemony and a little tangy. I've got no qualms with Stoneface but this is one of those "you made me spend $6 on this fucking beer?" sort of situations. A mediocre beer for a six pack. A poor deal for a larger format single.

Pours a hazy golden.
Smell is faint malt and much grassier hops than I would expect from stoneface.
Flavor is a bit better, some mild melon and citrus, very light malt backbone.
Overall its a bit over bitter and thin, needs either more hop flavor or a stronger malt presence.

From a pint bottle into a cool nonic... L: Yellow, bright and hazy, with a fluffy white head that lasts. S: Malty, crackers, subtle fruit and hay. T: Sharp and spicy, otherwise follows the nose with crackers, fruit and hay. Some bitterness follows. F: Crisp and pleasant, with good carbonation O: Like a hearty kölsch, easy drinking and satisfying.
