4.6 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 19/20
Poured into a pint glass out of a 22oz bomber.
Appearance is a hazy gold with a billowy 1.5 finger head with awesome retention like every other Stone beer I have had.
Wonderful bouquet of pine and citrus hops. Largely citrus, though with tons of grapefruit along with some orange thrown in. Some light biscuit undertones but hops by far dominate.
The flavor is tons of citrus with some wood underneath along with a bit of caramel. A strong bitterness takes hold right away but doesn’t completely drown out all of the other flavors. Alcohol is slightly noticeable at the end but this is extremely drinkable for being almost 8%.
Overall, this is a nearly perfect representation of the style and an all-around world class beer.

Smells of citrus and caramel. Tastes hoppy with a smooth grapefruit flavor, with slightly lingering hopp taste in the back of your mouth. Definitely worth a
Try for the IPA enthusiast

Bottle. A clear orange colour with a small off-white head. An aroma of malt and citrus. The taste is medium sweet and heavy bitter. A medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation and a medium long bitter duration.

Outstanding DIPA from the SoCal Gargoyle Posse. Pours a nice hazy amber, with decent head retention and excellent lacing. Lots of pine and citrus in the mouth. Lingering mild bitterness. A superb example of the style.

Bomber. Pours a hefty dense orange haze with a decent foamy cream head. Taste is a grapefruit stuffed into the bottle during its final brewing stage. Loads of wonderful citrus all over each sip of this masterpiece of an ipa. RECOMMENDED.

Yellowbrown cloudy, white thick foam that lasts somewhat. Mild malt, orange, alcohol aroma. Malty flowery taste. Strong bitterness in the aftertaste that lasts somewhat. There are flowery tones in the bitterness. Bitterness grows and grows and lasts. Good balance. Medium body and high in carbon.

Hands down the best beer I’ve ever had. Super bitter and does what it said it would on the back label.
