Stone Brewing Co. Arrogant Bastard Ale

This is the staple of Stone Brewing Company, the Arrogant Bastard Ale, and they let you know that by the quips and insults littered all over the bottle. Sayings such as "This beer is too good for you, you probably won't like it," and "All you yellow-fizz drinking wusses can try something else," makes this a very interesting and humorous brew to try. This American strong ale pours a reddish brown hue with a small golden head. Upon inspection it gives off a noticeable aroma of hops, different kinds of malt, and a hint of sour fruit (possibly green apples?). The taste is quite strong and is exactly what i would expect from a beer made by an arrogant bastard; its bitter, dry, and hops-filled. It leaves a nice bitter aftertaste as well, the whole experience is not very smooth, but still quite enjoyable... if your not a yellow-fizz drikin' wuss like the bottle says.
