Stone India Pale Ale (IPA)

Brewed by Stone Brewing Co.
Style: India Pale Ale (IPA)
Escondido, California USA

Pours a lovely golden-orange color with a half inch white head. Nice lacing on glass as head disappears. Aroma is strong with piney hops, but it also has nice notes of citrus, perhaps grapefruit stands out the best. The taste is about the same, a notes of grass comethrough in the bitter aftertaste. Very balanced and very good.

pours a nice golden color, with a small white head, some lacing on glass. Strong hoppy, flowerey smell, taste is the same, bitterness is perfect, well balanced, very refreshing.

Been drinking a ton of this lately. Copper pour with a big white head. Aroma of floral hops and a bit of pine/citrus. Flavor is nicely bitter but not harsh. Full palate and smooth.

This hazy amber and orange brew may be the most balanced beer of this type I have tasted. The sweet and the dry, the sour and the bright, hops and citrus, spice and pine, flowers and malt. Nothing stands out, just an incredibly pleasing beer to drink. "Note to self, I must be defective, I prefer a beer no so well balanced, something that grabs me one way or another."

Pours cloudy amber with a strong hops aroma with a citrus note in the background. Smooth palate with a slight creaminess from the head. Lots of hops bitterness but not overpowering. some spiciness in the flavor too. Another excellent brew from this west coast brewery.

Clear golden with medium white head. Sweet and hoppy aroma with citric, piney and hoppy notes. Sweet and hoppy flavour that develops likewise with a solid bitter finish

Pours a nice dark gold with a touch of amber. Small but lasting off white head. Big nose, sweet candied citrus, a little pine and bananas. OMG, beautiful. Big hop flavor but great balance, nice bitterness but not to over the top. I could drink a few of these.

On draft at Midtown bar in Harrisburg. Poured cloudy orangeish golden in color with a medium sized beige head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of floral, citrus and piney hops. Tastes of orange citrus, sweet malt, with a nice bittering hop taste which leads into the finish nicely. Great body and great hop flavor.
