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.

honey gold color. thin head. nose isnt huge but pretty. flowers and vanilla. flavor is big but balanced. definitely a hoppy ipa but not obnoxious. grapefruit, blood orange, and vanilla is still there. mouth is crisp and light. dry finish whets the palate for more.

One of the best IPA’s I have ever had. This brew kinda smells and reminds me of what liquid pot ( reefer) would smell like! And that can’t be a bad thing !

Clear medium gold pour with a nice foamy white head. Lots of citrus hops in the aroma. Definate lemon and grapefruit hops in the flavor, with a good malt body in the background. Nice bitter hoppy finish. Medium carbonation. Very nice IPA.

12 ounce bottle in pint glass. Golden with lasting white head and lace. Citrus fresh hop and grassy aroma. Mild sweetness followed by lemony citrus hops, green hoppiness, that lingers in the back of the throat. Crisp and dry. Medium body and carbo. Defintely good enough to be my new staple IPA, now that I can’t get Two-Hearted anymore. Excellent.

Bottle at a wedding party. Pours an attractive light orange color with a medium white head. Aroma features a citrus/flower bouquet that captivates that is very attractive. Palate is refreshingly crisp, yet packs a huge flavor punch. Primary flavor notes are of grapefruit, orange, lemon, and some malts for balance. Starts and ends with a hoppy bitterness, but mid-palate is almost sweet with its succulent fruit flavors. One of the best IPAs I’ve tried.

Medium head, pours clear. Just the right bitterness, very good IPA. The best I can find in the stores in Nevada.
