Getting notebook online. Bottle. Pours a Glowing gold. Nice white head. Wonderful nose of floral hops, and fresh bread. Great hop flavors. Smooth to the mouth. Goes down very easy. Real good beer!!Also used some in a garlic cheddar beer soup, Delicious!

Re-rated, this time the fresh from tap version. Holy moly this is even better, like no other IPA I have ever tasted. The hints of melon and floral pine bouquet produce a concoction that is as palate-pleasuring as imaginable. I view this as near perfection in a glass. I’m elated that i found this on tap at one place in my city. ******************************************* Was stoked to finally find this at the gargantuan Specs liquor store in Houston. Pours golden orange, transparent, some carbonation bubbles. Medium sized creamy soapy white head that leaves a lot of lacing. Fruity, piney hops and resin on the nose. Long, seriously bitter finish -- like 30 seconds long! An amazingly delicious double IPA from those cantankerously creative, arrogant, but honest, Stoners. I wish I could drink this everyday. $14/six pack.

22 oz bottle. pours a golden brown with a medium off white head. strong aroma of citrus and hops. smooth, hoppy flavor with a full body and very strong, bitter aftertaste. A high quality IPA, although not the best I’ve had.

Pours hazy golden brown with a decent white head. Aroma is both malty and full of citrusy, flowery hops. Taste is smooth and malty and full of citrusy hops that leaves an extremely bitter finish. Great beer/

22oz bottle poured into glass. Small off white head, on top of a perfect golden color ale. Smell of the glorious hop as the bottle describes, however you can still pick up a hint of the malts. Love the flavor, having trouble sitting here on the computer rating it as I am enjoying it way too much. Very full body. Overall one of the best IPA’s I have ever had, would recommend it to anyone and everyone.

Very drinkable. Not "bracingly bitter" as the name states but it certainly is more bitter than some may like. Very little head, it’s got a great citrus, floral smell. Really well-balanced IPA, one of the better one’s I’ve ever had.

Bottle as shown. Pours a clear orange golden color with a small frothy white head that diminishes quickly. The aroma is a strong citrus and floral hops. The taste is very hoppy with pine and a bitter finish. Hides the alcohol, a very good double IPA from Stone.

Pours pale golden with a very large dense foam head. Exhibits great bubbling and carbonation characteristics. Good intricate ring lacing. Aroma of resinous hops and citrus with a malty character. Taste is mellow, medium dry, piny, resinous hoppy, with a clean incredible bitterness on the finish. Despite the flavor the beer remains remarkabley drinkable and enjoyable. Why aren’t you enjoying one of these right now?
