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.

12 ox bottle from a trade with franksnbeans. pours golden with a solid white head that lasts till the end of the glass. aromas are citrus hop with a light maltiness underneath. flavours are hoppy but the body is thin which results in a bitterness that far exceeds the IBU’s. enjoyable but not the best IPA ive had. it needs a firmer maly backbone IMO.

Bottle courtesy of Bottle Trek. Pours a clear, pale, yellow-gold body with white head. Aroma of pale malts, citrus and floral hops, and spices. Well-balanced with a distinct mix of grapefruit and floral hops with green hops near the finish. Medium-bodied with a crisp, bitter hop bite.

an exellent IPA, but i have to admit i was a bit dissapointed, yes it had all the atributes of a great IPA, but i found it a bit underwhelming for all the hype, and the style ratings. Not a hop forward as i would have expected, quite subdued i found.

Bottle. Pours a nice light gold color. Fairly wimpy head. Intense citrus aroma, followed by flavor somewhat less intense than aroma. Great overall balance, though not as interestingly complex as DFH 60 Minute. Long lingering citrus finish.

On tap at a restaurant in Denver Int’l Airport. I’m an IPA fan, and I was really pleased with this beer. Very hoppy. Great flavor. I like it a lot.
