Enjoy By 04-01-13. Bottle into snifter. Nose is big dank hops, well water, citrus galore, some light pine, herbal and flowery. Strong hops with almost no hint at malt in the aroma. Pour is orange colored with a white head. Flavor is semi-sweet with a big citrus and earthy flavor. Honey, caramel, and tropical fruit flavors stick out. Pretty damn good with some spicy alcohol as it warmed up. Almost too sweet. Great!

Bottle thanks to the ever generous Bruce. Clear gold beer, little white head. Skunky nose. Light palate, a little soft. Mild carbonation. Minerals. Good skunky grassy hops with mild orange marmalade. Fresh citrus brings up the rear. Neutral finish. Great stuff!

a very pleasant hop profile, with a solid palate, not too boozy, golden appearance with lingering head, goes down smooth, slightly sugary on the backside, a nice treat

Pours cloudy light amber out of bottle. Very hoppy and earthy aroma. First taste is overpowering with hoops but then settles into a smooth herbal taste. Excellent beer!

Consumed day of arrival in Missouri - Super psyched to see what Stone is going to do with this concept. Pour is very pale and clear, big white head that lasts for a bit. Nose is so lean and assertive. Seems like a hyper hoppy pilsner. Not as extreme as Ruination 10th, but I’m wondering if that’s only because it had so much malt to balance and support the hops. Stark pine and grass with plenty of sweet and acidic stone and citrus fruits. Taste basically follows on one of the lightest bodied IIPAs I’ve had. Absolutely dangerous. Definitely Enjoyed it.

Gotta love the Enjoy By dates we’ve received in Missouri - the mythical end of the world and unofficial day of the hop’s cousin; this batch poured a golden amber with medium sized white head leaving spots and a few peninsulas of lace in my 14.7oz Zwiesel cognac snifter; aromas and flavors seem sweeter in this release, lime, huge juicy tropical fruits, especially tangerine, followed by grass and lemon, sweet malt appears in the flavor; smooth drying ml mouth, this one took twice as long to drink as the last version, is my glassware choice having a drastic impact, or do the Enjoy By batches change?

My new favorite beer. Nice aroma, not too overwhelming. Pours a perfectly clear dark gold, with a decent head. I'm an IPA head, and this is one of the best IPAs I've ever had. Creamy head, wonderfully balanced complex hop flavor. Extreme? Maybe, but somehow not so overbearing that you can't enjoy the nuances.

Bottle dated enjoy by 4.1.13. Clear amber pour with a small bubbly head. Nose is orange peel, strong citrus, lemon, light toffee, strong floral and strong perfume. Flavor is strong citrus, orange, lemon, perfume and some fusels. Dry and bitter finish with medium carbonation.

22 oz bomber poured in a snifter. Pours a golden color with a light head. Smells of fruit and floral notes. Hops are not overpowering to the palate. Finish is very smooth. Overall a very good DIPA.
