Stone India Pale Ale (IPA)

Brewed by Stone Brewing Co.
Style: India Pale Ale (IPA)
Escondido, California USA

Pours golden with two fingers of frothy white head; nice lacing. A brief wisp of malt aroma is quickly outgunned by the bouquet of the freshest floral hops; a tiny bit of skunk. Flavor is well balanced between the aggressive hop bitterness and the flavors of malt and evergreen hops. Medium body and a clean finish. This is a great beer and the best thing by Stone I’ve had.

12 oz. bottle. a light aroma of sweet, bitter hop. pours a thin white head, semi cloudy gold. flavor of bitter hop, sweet banana. subtle malts and fine hop content for i p a. dry after taste, far from overpowering , as some over hopped i p a ’s can be. this is a fine i p a, but not a ’99 ’ for me.

Pours an orangy straw color with a thin head and nice lacing. It tastes exactly how an IPA should taste. This isnt an overpowered IPA trying to be too much, bordering on a DIPA, this is a perfectly crafted hoppy but balanced IPA. Good amount of citrus, not too much pine, and a smooth sweet malt finish. Starts dry, finishes sticky. Kind of like me with your mom.

Bottle. Pours a hazy amber-orange color with a large off white head. Aroma is huge floral hops, grapefruit, orange, pine

love this one, Stone IPA is as good as it gets, big hops aroma and flavor nice bitterness, deep golden orange color, fluffy head lacing everything...Perfect for hops lovers like me..drinkability!!!!

Bottle. A yellowy-orange color, a bit lighter than I expected, with a nice foamy, fluffy, and clean off-white head. Lots of rich, fresh, piney, earthy, citrusy hops in the aroma. Broadly hopped, no doubt, as the flavor is dominated by them, in all the same variety as the aroma. Just a little bit of malt sweetness hiding in the background. A nice sharp bitterness lingers in the back of the mouth. Smoothly and finely carbonated. How come I’ve never tried this before now? Seriously, I’ve been missing out on an exceptional IPA.

a fearsome stone figure that has power to ward ward off evil spirits. Good hoppy taste Pours a clear yellow with a hoppy aroma. Hazy orange w/ a huge off-white head.

Solid IPA. Nothing too hard to handle with a moderately masked sweet finished so the bitterness is finely juxtaposed. I like
