Commercial Description:
So called because of the immediate ruinous effect on your palate. 100+ IBUs. Bracingly bitter. Thick, pungent hop aroma. We would say that no hops were injured in the brewing of this beer, but that would be a massive lie. In fact, the words "Stone Ruination IPA" are what older hop vines use to cause little hop vines to quiver with fright and lose sleep at night . We at Stone honor the brutal massacre of countless hops with this "Liquid poem to the glory of the hop!" Paganism at its best!

1pt 6oz bottle. Pours golden amber with a nice cream colored head. Smells of spruce and grapefruit. Tastes very piney, citrusy, and lightly malty. Very smooth and easy to drink. One of the better DIPA Ive had.

Pours wonderfully clear. Nose is overpowered by the hop aroma. Not for those who don’t seriously love hops. Well balanced by flavorful malts. Not my favorite IPA, but it’s no doubt a great beer.

12 ounce single bottle from Total Wine in Jacksonville, Florida. Pours a cloudy amber color with a nice white foamy head. Aroma is very strong with hops, citrus and grassy notes. Taste is tart citrus, grassy and some bitterness but finishes nicely. A wonderful beer.

rerate on 7/6/09. On cask with amarillo hops at Daily Pint, Santa Monica. Absolutely amazing grapefruit, lemon, and orange aroma. Also has a touch of sweet toffee and vanilla. This was a beautiful hazy golden pour, with typical cask frothy head. Very well balanced flavor, then a wonderful dry bitter finish. This is an amazing brew, and the cask only adds to it.

22oz. bottle from Willow Bend Liquors in Lutz, FL. Pours a cloudy, amber-orange with a decent off-white head. Aroma is tons of hops, alot of pine sap, and some cloves. Flavor is pretty damn bitter..alot of pine, maybe some grapefruit. Great bitter, pine aftertaste. Medium mouthfeel..And actually very smooth and easy to drink. This is a really good drinkable IIPA. Not nearly as hardcore as Arrogant Bastard in my opinion.

Pours deep gold with a 2 finger soapy head. Really great lacing all the way to the end. Nose is BIG hops- floral, piney hops you can smell from a foot away. Taste is HOPS! It starts bitter, goes sweet for a moment, and finishes bitter and then disappears. If you catch yourself craving hops, this is what you need. Awesome brew.
