Stone India Pale Ale (IPA)

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.

12 ounce bottle purchased at Total Wine Pembroke Pines, FL for $1.99 Excellent.

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).
