Wow... I have heard that this was a good one and it’s true. Poured great leaving a nice head that didn’t disappear two sips in. Had a wonderfully hoppie aroma and taste that was very satisfying but not overpowering. Good to the last drop, thank goodness that I has 5 more. This is a road that will be traveled again... soon!

ྫྷ ounce bottle - pint glass) Golden dark yellow color, light head that leads to a light lacing. Awsome grapefruit hoppy aroma which any hophead will love. Taste is hoppy with a light malt that is only there to give it balance. The hops are grassy, floral and citrusy. Has a somewhat lively carbonation. Hoppy aftertaste so you know you just drank a beer. If you are a hop head you should try this beer.

Crisp with a definite cereal taste. Hops have only a medium bite . color is dark yellow. The flavors do not linger much on the tongue. A starter Stone beer for sure.

Bottle. After drinking this beer I came to the conclusion, I love hops. This is quite a statement for one who loves malty, dark beers. This has to be a favorite of anyone who loves hops. It has a floral aroma. Taste wonderful with a great flowery taste with a bitter "bite" of an after taste. Good stuff.

Well I had my first Stone beer last night, and it was the India Pale Ale. All I can say is: WOW, this thing is hoppy! Ridiculously hoppy is an understatement. Now I’m not saying this in a bad way. It is definitely something different, but very enjoyable.

Poured into a standard pint glass. Thick frothy head that released the aromas of fruity, citrus notes with a definite alcohol character. Bitter, dry finish with the citrus notes still on the tongue. Good beer

Pours light orange with an enormous white, frothy head. Looks incredible. You can smell the alcohol through the aromas of citrus. The flavor is heavier on citrus than hops to me. Very dry, alcoholic, and bitter on the finish.

12oz bottle. Nice clear bright golden with a good head. Hot hop pine aroma. Palate is all hot, pepper hops. Lacks some malt sweetness and weight to give it balance. Drinkable enough but Im not seeing what all the fanfare and hype is all about...
