3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20Pours a bright golden with tiny, quickly diminishing head. strong citrus aroma. The taste is grapefruit all the way. Not as balanced as i’d prefer, but a great ipa still.

Copper beer with a big foamy head. Nice fruity and sweet hoppy aroma. Medium body. Soapy, mildly grape fruity, balanced bitterness and sweetness. I’d like to have a chance to enjoy a more fresh batch than this one. This is a very good IPA.
4.8 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 19/20
Presentation: 22 oz. brown bottle with an "enjoy by" date printed on the neck. Served in a Samuel Adams pint glass.
Appearance: One finger head goes down eventually and stays there until the end. It has a clear, bright gold color, and leaves some very nice lacing.
Smell: The smell is fantastic, with a dominating herbal hop scent and some pine, fruit and spice notes present too.
Taste: This beer has a big hop character, overwhelmingly so. It’s very herbal, spicy and bitter. You’ve gotta love hops to really appreciate the details and character in this. If you don’t it’ll be just another (albeit good) strong, bitter brew.
Moutfeel: It feels creamy, full bodied and smooth. It leaves a tingling sensation on the palate that’s quite curious.
Overall: An amazing brew in every single aspect. If you love hops, IPA’s or just something crisp, bitter and challenging, you’ll love this beer. If you don’t, you’ll probably be put off by the intensity of it all.

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.

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!
