Drinkers Review:

The Stone & Wood Pacific Ale won a Silver medal at the World Beer Cup in the English-Style Summer Ale category in 2016.
This clear pale golden yellow beer is a nice solid offering from Stone & Wood. The beer pours a clear yellow with a white head and mild citrus lemon scent. It is fresh and hoppy and light and fruity and so easy to drink. At 4.4% so you can keep drinking them without that bloated heavy feeling in your gut. It is an awesome session beer and easy to smash down on a hot Summer day and then continue well into the evening. If you are looking for something a little lighter and easier to drink, then I would definitely recommend this one for a session.

Rating:

4.0 out of 5 Stars

Will you guys be venturing in the non alcoholic market as well?

Nice post.
The beer looks great, personally I do prefer beers that don't have to much alcohol, thus 4.4% seems perfect to me.
Thanks for sharing

Stone and Wood's Pacific ale is the beer I use to introduce people to Craft beer, it's so drinkable, yet distinctly different (and better) than the macros - personally, I'm not a huge fan, it's a little too passionfruity for me but everyone else seems to like it.

Love this beer. Excellent review and totally agree with that rating

I love a couple of Stone & Wood Pacific Ales. Due to it's fruity flavour, I couldn't drink a lot of them in one session, but one or two are so refreshing on a hot summer's day. Good to see they are available on tap too. I've had them on tap at the Canobolas Hotel in Orange and just last Friday at the Federal Hotel in Alstonville.
