4.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20Enjoy by 12.21.12 from bottle. Deep golden color. Very thin head, little lacing. Aromas of skunky herbs, matchstick, green onions, pine, and bitter grapefruit. On the palate, layers of bitter grapefruit, orange citrus, juicy stonefruit, and tropical nuances that linger elegantly. Fine carbonation. 9.4% alc. is well hidden as beer warms a bit. Little malt backbone. A beer more about balance, elegance and freshness, then power and strength. If I had to compare for reference, more like Blind Pig, then Pliny... Except with a stronger alcohol kick. We all need more of this on the market.. More often.. Visit the Stone website and vote for your area.. Cheers!

On tap at Pracna. Dark copper color. Very fresh and sort of a wet-hop quality to the beer. Tons of hops, flowers and a little pine. It is sweet and there is a lot of malt in here, but the hops are more prominent. Great beer.

I got the enjoy by 5-17-13 bottle at Brewtopia. Pours orange with a thin white head. Big grassy and grapefruit notes on the nose. Nicely balanced on the tongue. Lots of grapefruit and enough bitterness for balance. Hides it’s alcohol we’ll. One of the best IPA’s I’ve ever had.

Had the Enjoy By 04-01-13. Medium colour. Aroma of grapefruit and pine is quite pleasant, almost up there with Pliny. Quite easy to drink given the quite strong bitterness. Thanks Mike W for the beer.
