Commercial Description:
So called because of the immediate ruinous effect on your palate. 100+ IBUs. Bracingly bitter. Thick, pungent hop aroma. We would say that no hops were injured in the brewing of this beer, but that would be a massive lie. In fact, the words "Stone Ruination IPA" are what older hop vines use to cause little hop vines to quiver with fright and lose sleep at night . We at Stone honor the brutal massacre of countless hops with this "Liquid poem to the glory of the hop!" Paganism at its best!

Draught, Abraxas. Brilliant copper or dark golden, clear with slight hint of haze. White lacing. Nice mellow hop aroma is almost briny. Nicely earthy but not leafy. Not chewy at all. Nice palate with soft creamy carbonation. Some alcohol emerges in the finish with lingering herbal hops. Interesting, seems light and heavy at the same time.

Medium: Six 12 ounce bottles Provides an initial jolt of hops, but uncomplicated in its lingering effect on your palate.’

March 09 Thanks Dan for this one. A tasty brew, but I think Double Bastard still wins out as my favourite Stone product. Pours a golden colour with small white head. Aroma is overwhelming hop lovliness. Hugely hoppy taste, but has a balanced sweetness that makes it easy to drink. Loved it.

By far, the best IPA if you are looking for a powerful buzzed feeling. This is my favorite beer out there right now.

On tap at Rattle n Hum. Good DIPA, very much like Stone’s regular IPA, just stronger hopping. Slightly over-bitter/off finish.
