Stone Ruination IPA

Bottle. Pours a honey color with medium off white head. Excellent lacing. Huge hoppy/grapefruit aroma. Flavor is all hops with intense bitterness. Think this is the bitterest IPA I’ve ever had. Very dry finish. Mouthfeel is huge. You can still feel it 5 minutes later. Tremendous beer. Only negative is the cost.

Hazy yellowy orange color and a smallish cloudy white head. The smell of hops is insanely huge with hops and the flavor hits you with an equally insane hop feel and hints of fruit, mainly orange and pineapple. Extremely tasty brew, and it just might ruin you.

Pours a copper color with a small off white head. Aroma of grapefruits hops and minor malts. Initial taste of syrupy caramel malts and minor bitter hops. Prefer the regular IPA better because of the stronger hops

22oz bottle served in a tulip glass. Hazy light amber body topped by a lasting head. Smells of mango, sweet caramel, pineapple, and a hint of pine. Taste is very fruity, some pineapple, mango, citrus. Finishes very dry with a lasting bitterness. Pretty good.

Bottle into Sniffer. Pours Golden with a nice white head. Smells of floral hops are most prominent with some yeast. All hops taste. Goes down super smooth, leaving a bitter after taste. Very nice beer, but not as good as a 90 min.

Pale cider color with slight translucence, varied efferevescence in head with equal parts cream and sparseness, sweet citrus aroma, immediate hop smack with an assaultive bitterness that lingers on that palate long after tasting. Overpowering but a must try for hop heads.

I’m not the hugest IPA fan, so I have to give this a somewhat below average rating. It wasn’t overly bitter, but I prefer less bitter IPA’s

Slightly cloudy dark yellow / orange beer with lacey white head that disappears quickly. Strong bitterness from the hops. Strong aftertaste, piney and sort of soapy. Aroma has a bouquet of hops as well as some cereal grains.
