UPDATED: NOV 10, 2022 I have a 12 oz can of the 10/31/22 version purchased at Mr. T's on the other side of town. Stone has gone full tilt on IPAs, let us see how this beer, packaged on 9/20/22 fares. Pouring into an appreciated Ft. Worth brewery's snifter, there is a totally impervious yellow-orange liquid that is finished by a small but steady top of almost white foam. The nose is pretty fine, do I detect a substantial amount of hops in a hazy IPA? But it is the drink that is most important. Well, I will say it is pretty fine also. And I am not a real hazy IPA fan. Tangerine, pine, white bread, malt, some oj, pineapple, a bit of varnish and field. More sweet than bitter but both are present. I call this a nice convergence of flavors and effects.

UPDATED: OCT 8, 2022 Amber color with strong tropical and pine aroma. Taste is sweet tart tropical fruit with a nice bitter hop balance. Alcohol and hop bitter aftertaste.

UPDATED: NOV 16, 2021 10/31/21 batch - Big beer. Big grapefruit aroma. Pours yellow-gold, slightly hazy. Almost chewy in texture - malts adding great body and balancing the spicy hops. Excellent DIPA.

UPDATED: AUG 25, 2021 Thick Whitehead atop a cloudy golden body. It's not the most aromatic of ipas it smells faintly a sea salt. There's not much to taste here besides alcohol and hops given the price of this beer I would not purchase it again

UPDATED: JUL 10, 2021 Enjoy By 7/04/21 has a very thick, off-white head, a hazy, orange appearance, filled with tan sediment, and moderate lacing. The aroma is of meaty hops and light malt. The flavor is of bitter, white bread crust, and fruit. Enjoy By 7/04/21 has a high-medium body and a somewhat viscous mouthfeel. The drinker will find a dry finish. RJT

UPDATED: MAY 8, 2021 Pours pale golden with a thick white head. Aroma of grapefruit, citra. Taste has Amarillo, some peppery hop oils. Palate has lingering fruit notes, papaya with hop oils. Good.

UPDATED: NOV 24, 2020 From a bottle to a glass. Pours a clear amber color with a big frothy creamy silky head. Aroma is sweet bready malts and earthy spice hops and a touch of tobacco. Taste follows the aroma with a medium mouthfeel. Not as good as it used to be and was fairly over prices at $16 for a six pack otd! I'm over Enjoy By series!

Pours a gold color pillowy tight white head with great lacing on the glass. Aroma massive citrucy hops piney floral grapefruit and some slight caramel notes. Taste is massive hops with a slight barnyard hops funk to it. Slight caramel malt that balances the hops well enough to handle the dank hop character of this beer. Medium mouth feel that leaves a danky hop resin on your palate. This is in my top 5 favorites.

I Love IIPA's and this is a good one. Found a 22oz bottle at Costco and had it last night, I know it says 10-31-18 to enjoy by, but double IPA's age well. Nice malt flavor and wonderful hop taste, not to strong, but lingers a little. Does not taste like 9.4 ABV beer, maybe more like a 7 ABV.

UPDATED: OCT 16, 2020 Pours golden bronze with frothy white head that doesn't hold well but leaves ample lacing; big juicy citrus on the nose; bitter, oily palate with a prolonged bitter finish.

UPDATED: SEP 22, 2020 Old review, the Stone Berlin version. Nice IPA as on expects from these guys, rich bitterness, fresh fruity hops, dry finish.
