Commercial Description:
Look up "hops" in the dictionary and you'll see a picture of Stone IPA! "Dry-hopped" for an extra two weeks, this unique process gives our IPA its bountiful hop aroma and rich hop flavor. A full 70+ IBUs (International Bitterness Units) creates this beer's crisp and refreshing bitter character.

[At Stockholm Beer Festival 2005] A hazy orange beer with an off-white lasting head. The aroma is rather hoppy, combined with notes of caramel - and I also pick up a slight coffee note. The flavor is sweet hoppy with powerful notes of caramel, and lesser notes of yeast. A good IPA.

Orange colored. Sweet & malty. Huge flowery cascade aroma. A relatively well balanced hop monster.

(On tap) Slightly hazy pale amber with an off-white head, leaving laces. Fresh, citrusy aroma hops. Medium body, lightly sweet caramel malt and a somewhat astringent grapefruitish bitterness. The finish is dry. 230307

Orangey-gold colour. Rich woody nose with orange, toast, peach, kumquat. Long hoppy palate, some biscuity pale malts. Standard issue stuff, moderate bitterness and a bit fruitier and more approachable than most examples.

From tap. Pours clear and golden orange with a lacing white head. Crisp peach and grapefruity hops aroma. Flavour is dense grapefruit and pine wood hoppy flavour. Mild sweet and fruity. Goes into a nice mellow and fruity hops finish yet with a solid bitterness.
