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.

Amber with an excellent off white head that lasts. Hops and lychees along with a little vanilla in the aroma. Something dusty about the taste. Perfectly balanced, fruity, hoppy and inoffensively dry. A great smooth finish.

Amber pour with white head. Lots of hops and a typical bitterness of an IPA. I do not understand why this is so highly rated, it does not really distinguish itself from the many other IPAs I have tried, just middle of the pack in my opinion.

Good in the bottle. Better on tap at the brewery. Tastes of grapefruit and hops. Head with plenty of white foam. Orange color.

Appearance: Orange with a small white head. Aroma: Hops, hops and more hops. Flavour: Amazing, hops, grapefruit juice, hops again, floral. Just wonderful. I wish I could have it more often.

8.99 for a six pack at Total Wine. Its been a long time coming to Florida.. Golden amber pour with a medium white head. Strong aroma of sweet juicy hops. Flavor is pretty much what you expect from a west coast hop bomb IPA. Sweet pale malt on the front and then a huge hop blast and firm bitter end and aftertaste. Lots of pine and grapefruit. I let my wife taste it and she just got a pained expression on her face and handed it back to me. A little too hoppy for her. Extremely well done.

Amber pour with a thick and foamy head. Oddly sweet scent. Very distinct and unique taste. A mike of corn like sweetness and bitter hops. Tates unbalanced to me. Interesting but I’m not a fan.

Orange pour with small frothy head. Lots of lacing. Citrus and pine aroma. Flavor is same but lingering bitterness. Mouthfeel is ok. Prefer Ruination (I realize that’s a DIPA).
