Very nice D-IPA... intense hop flavor & aroma, yet enough malt to give the beer a nice balance. Potent alcohol kick, but the hops definitely overpower the alcohol.

Not as good as Bear Republic Red Rocket; the hops massacre here got a little out of hand.

This is by far my favorite brew...Well-balanced citrus going into a botanical frenzy of rose, lavender, pine and juniper..layers of toastiness rock through to a orange and tangerine spike on the back palate and a finish that begs you to try it all over again.

Nice hoppy taste with big finish. Great color and head. One of my new favorites.

Pours hazy orangish yellow, with a creamy 2 finger head. Looks really nice.
Smell is citrus and malt. Some pine notes show thru as well.
Citrus and Pine all the way, followed by some light crusty bread notes. Finish nice and dry, perfect balance of bitter and malt.
Crisp and refreshing, not to boozy, but it does show through a little.
Great IPA. One of my top 5 beers.

To be honest this is my favorite well at least it was until I tried the 10th anniversary ruination I’m looking forward to trying more from stone brewing it is a treat every time I try a new one from them

Poured vigorously from a 22oz bottle into a Spiegelau tulip glass. Pour led to a thick white head that laces well and is sustained through the tasting process. Hop aromas of citrus and pine needles. Appearance of a pale golden hue that is slightly hazy. Taste is hop driven, but isn’t as pronounced as other IPA’s. Light body and slight bitterness. The thin fizzy IPA is not nearly what I expected from 100+ IBUs. Overall, I would not be led to puchase this item again for over $6.00 retail for a 22oz bottle.

Very good if not remarkable IPA - aggressively hopped and very bitter, but a nice taste. It does indeed ruin your palate. Gorgeous presentation and bottling.

Pours a very slight amber color, with great head retention. Lacing all around.
Smells slightly piney and citrusy—not overwhelming at all. Overall great. Tastes a bit malty up front, but quickly turns to bitter, and a lovely malt and bitter aftertaste. A light body too, perfect pairing with the bitterness of the hops. High carbonation, giving it a very good and lively mouthfeel.
Overall a great IPA. Very little to complain about! Great job
