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!

This beer is set out to ruin your taste buds and with that comes some delicious tasting beverage if you are hopped up enough to handle it.

Man could you pack any more piny citrus notes in the aroma. Fanfrinking fantastic. I’d give it an 11 if I could. Great everything else too. Little slick in palate. But other than that great.

Wittales (435) - Las Vegas, Nevada, USA - APR 2, 2013
Appearance was clear orangish gold with creamy diminishing off white 1 finger head , spotty of lacing. Aromas are citrus burst of hops, slight sweet 2-row malts, crystal malts, no alcohol present. Taste are soft sweet malt backbone with grapefruit, orange, lemon, touch of pine resin. Palate was soft smooth CO2 with medium body, lasting citrusy smooth bitter finish. An super west coast IPA, get it.

S_Side_Smitty (205) - Lakeland, Florida, USA - APR 1, 2013
Pours a clear golden amber with a medium white head. Aroma is surprisingly minimal with maybe, some mild grains. Taste is a well balanced blend of fruity hops , mellow malts, and an easy bitterness. This one is very to drink and is almost sessionable.

Bretteux (109) - Ste-Julie, Quebec, CANADA - APR 1, 2013
Le liquide blond-doré et trouble,Sana col avec un mince anneau de mousse.Au nez,les agrumes,florale et herbeux.Au goût,c’est herbeux,légèrement agrumé avec une amertume qui débute en douceur et qui frappe et persiste longtemps en bouche ce qui assèche la bouche et le palais. Innévitablement ,un je ne sais quoi nous incite à recommencer le processus.Une double ipa fantastique qui cache bien c’est 7.7% derrière son amertume.

Big bitter beer with lots of flavour. Well balanced and has a lot more bite to it than the Stone IPA. Excellent IPA this one!

visionthing (1624) - Oslo, NORWAY - MAR 31, 2013
35,5cl bottle at Schouskjelleren. Pours clear dark golden with a white head. Hoppy and fruity aroma with pine, malt, caramel and hints of citrus. Quite sweet and lightly caramelly but with a bitter finish with pine and citrus. Liked it better the first time I tried, I suspect it was a fresher bottle then, but it’s still a nice IPA!
