COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
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.

Pours yellow with a white head. Aromas of grapefruit, pine, peach, slight bread. Taste is juicy grapefruit, minty herbal, orange, hint of mango, with some caramel sweetness hiding at the end. A medium bodied, juicy IPA. Very good.

Stone IPA is very hoppy but not overally bitter thanks to the malt backbone. Nice mouthfeel and a smooth finish.

This was the beer that opened my mind to a whole new world and I've never turned back. It's a favorite that I always fall back to and will compare all other IPAs to. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Brouwerij (407) - Boulder, Colorado, USA - MAY 12, 2013
Bottle. Pours a slightly hazy orange with a finger and a half of white head that settles in minutes, thin lacing. Aroma is hoppy, resinous, bitter, and oily. Flavor is hoppy, resinous, moderately bitter, piney, with a very mild malt background. Bitter, very slightly soapy finish. Soft to moderate carbonation, medium body, crisp texture, and slightly oily mouthfeel. A very good IPA.

Beautiful mostly white head with tan tint. Smells hoppy as can be. Golden color maybe a little copper. Hop attack at first then kinda tin aftertaste. I’m completely biased since I’m from San Diego and have been drinking this beer for years. Cheers!

Bottle into a tulip. Pours a light gold with a slight white head and loose lacing. Tropical and citrus fruit aroma. Taste is fruity, lightly bitter, lemon and orange. Super drinkable.

Refreshing and dangerously easy to drink. This is the go to IPA for all occasions. Good amount of bitter hops with he right amount of sweetness.
