UPDATED: JAN 7, 2023 Hazy amber pour with a nice head with modest retention and nice lacing. Pine and citrus in the nose. Taste is bitter piney hops with hints of citrus. Good beer.

UPDATED: DEC 23, 2022 Das Stone IPA kommt goldgelb und opal ins Glas. Die feinporige, üppige Krone ist stabil und sieht gut aus. Der Geruch nach Maracuja, Grapefruit und Litschi ist sehr aufgeräumt und klar erkennbar. Beim Antrunk neutraler, glatter Körper mit nur leichter Bitterkeit, die beim Abgang dann stärker wird, jedoch nicht aus dem Ruder läuft. Am Gaumen sammelt sich die Bitterkeit auch nicht an, obwohl das Bier insgesamt trocken ist. Sehr ausgewogen und abgestimmt. Kein Wunder,, dass Stone mit so guten Produkten so groß geworden ist. 03-2020

UPDATED: NOV 11, 2022 355 ml can poured at home. Pours a kind of cross between orange and amber with a big white head. Smells like citrus fruit and pine. Taste is bitter with lots of piney hops. Good beer.

UPDATED: NOV 10, 2022 355ml can - Pours an almost clear golden colour with a small diminishing frothy white head. Aroma is hoppy, pine, grapefruit, orange with some caramel and malt notes. A moderately sweet to light sweet and moderately bitter taste, bitter orange, grapefruit, sweet malt, caramel and piney hop flavours and a hoppy bitter finish.

UPDATED: OCT 22, 2022 Golden colour has a citrus smell anice citrus flavour with a nice happy citrus kick

UPDATED: OCT 21, 2022 Hard to go wrong, even since being bought out I still enjoy stone brewing here and there. Solid Ipa when fresh enough. Very forward with hops.

UPDATED: OCT 6, 2022 Can from Beer52. Slightly murky golden dark orange with a small white top. Aroma has a pleasant tangerine, peach, pine, light earthiness. Taste is quite piney and dry from start but there is a good fruitiness with tangerines and grapefruit, quite bitter and a touch leafy with some hop spice. Medium bodied, slick, fine carbonation. It's clean, tastes half-filtered, but that's probably due to it being mass produced these days. I was never going to drink this at its peak but nonetheless it's still a tasty IPA.

UPDATED: SEP 1, 2022 Canned, served in a trappist goblet. A clear copper-hued pour with an ash-white head that leaves a ring for good. Aroma is peach, porridge, arugula. Bone dry onset. Crisp, full-bodied mouthfeel. Incredibly bitter finish (one of the bitterest beers I've had outside the undrinkable 黑 from Mikkeller -sorry if I stepped on some toes.) Very long-lasting finish with hints of conifer resin all over. Clearly over the top.

UPDATED: AUG 19, 2022 Hazy golden. Aroma is tropic fruit pine caramel resin grassy hops. Taste is heavy resinous hop bitterness. Pretty dense with long hop finish. Rough and nice.

UPDATED: MAY 21, 2022 Can from Super Valu Ratoath. Pours cloudy Amber with minimal white head. Aroma is citrus fruit, pine, hops. Flavour has an intense full mouth of hops but combined with lots of fruit in the mouth. Medium to high carbonation. Pine, caramel, malt and lots of hops. Thick texture. Long bitter hoppy finish.
