Light orange, slightly hazy, small white head. Aroma is big on pine, resin and citrus hops, canned fruits, and a tiny bit of malt sweetness. Flavour is huge, loads of hops, but nicely balanced with malt sweetness. There are hints of other flavors here too, but they don’t quite come through. Lively carbonated, medium body. Very drinkable and refreshing.

Like a pine tree in a glass! A bit too harsh for my tastes but its definitely a great ipa. Lots of bitter grassy flavor with notes of citrus and grapefruit.

Ever since I fist tried the Stone IPA years ago, this has been one of my favorite beers. I don’t drink it too often but every time I do I am always blown away by the complexity of the flavor. The color is golden with tiny bubbles. The head looks like a soft meringue that refuses to go away. Aroma floral and citrus hops with a little bit of malt. There are many layers of flavor in the glass, all perfectly balanced. First comess floral hops then bread/malt which fades into a delicious bitterness. This is far from the hop-water that most IPAs are characterized by.

Pours light yellow with little/thin lace. Hops come right through. Quick on the bitter with short linger. True to IPA flavor. A thumbs up, three stars and a freckle go to this decent brew. $10/sixer bottles at The Beer & Liquor Store in Lake Worth, FL

Bottle. This is piney goodness in an IPA. Clear orange pour with a small white head. Laces to the glass solidly. Pineapple and caramel flavors are very strong on the front end. Solid hop balance in the finish.
