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!

Bottle from Utobeer. Amber with a natural lacey white head. Knock your socks off aroma of fresh hops. Wonderfull complex flavours of citric highly resinous hops encompassing grapefruit. lychees and marmalade offset by a warming alcoholic malty base. A beer to die for!

Bright, cloudy amber pour with a pretty white head. Nose is intense resinous, bitter hops. Powerful citrus bitterness. Brutal in all the best ways. Not exactly balanced but why would you want it to be?

Ruination has one mission and that is to shove hops down your throat. Pours to a dark orange body, big body beer with hops and nothing but hops. Monster beer and not for the weak at heart

Bottle at The Rover, Göteborg. On December 20, 2008. Cloudy orange color, white head. Hoppy citrus scent. Bitter hoppy citrus taste. Medium to smooth mouthfeel, high bitterness.

<i>Bottle (35 cl) at the Rover, Göteborg, Sweden</i>. Hazy orange with creamy white head. Potatoe malt aroma, piney and apricot hops. Medium bodied, soft carbonation. Dry and bitter, but would not guess 100+ IBU. Good but not great.

On tap. Clear golden color, thin sparse white head. Very citric and floral hop aroma, aggressive for a regular IPA. Sharp floral hop taste, follows through the finish. Nice strong citric IPA.

The beer is clear and has a deep golden color. The aroma smells of grains and hops. As you take a sip you’ll notice minimal carbonation, essences of oranges, and a load of hops.This beer is pleasantly bitter while sporting a dry sweetness that balances out the pint nicely
