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.

I had only enjoyed this in the bottle until my recent trip to San Diego, where I was able to have it on tap. Very smooth floral hop flavor with just enough bite to make it interesting and very easy to drink.

This one was on cask at Beachwood BBQ with some special type of hops added to it. Great on cask. I think the bitter backs off quite a bit and the velvety potential of the beer really comes through nicely. I think this is the way it should be drank.

Orange-gold with decent, creamy off-white head / Mild pine and floral nose / Light to medium body, modest fruit and hops with some creaminess and good finish / Subdued flavors of violets and pine with tangerine notes / A light, refined ipa, lacking big fruit or hops, but appealing for its elegant flavor palate. Overrated but very enjoyable.

On Cask (hand-pump) @ Stone Brewing World Bistro & Gardens. Special release with Summit and Amarillo Hops. Pours light golden yellow, cloudy. Small clear white head. Sweet, orange aroma with a definite kick of hops. Starts off with sweet tangerine/lemon notes then becomes intensely hoppy with accompanying spice and Ting. Hops spread to the sides and back of the tongue. Cask gives the pallet a smooth rich texture with perfect carbonation. Lingers a long time on the back of the tongue. Great stuff!
