COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
You have in your hands a devastatingly fresh double IPA. While freshness is a key component of many beers- especially big, citrusy, floral IPAs- we’ve taken it further, a lot further, in this IPA. You see, we specifically brewed it NOT to last. We’ve not only gone to extensive lengths to ensure that you’re getting this beer in your hands within an extraordinarily short window, we made sure that the Enjoy By date isn’t randomly etched in tiny text somewhere on the bottle, to be overlooked by all but the most attentive of retailers and beer fans. Instead, we’ve sent a clear message with the name of the beer itself that there is no better time than right now to enjoy this IPA.

beern (258) - Alabama, USA - FEB 5, 2018

Pours light golden and translucent with a one-finger white head and an aroma of citrus, lemon and pine. Tastes of sweet malt upfront with a bitter pine body and a resinous hop finish. The bitter pine is profound balanced by a solid malt backbone. I’m assuming that the alcohol is hidden within this. It’s medium to full bodied with moderate carbonation. There is some citrus, lemon, bitter grapefruit in the body and finish.

ThreeCats (1030) - ISRAEL - JAN 13, 2018

Hazy copper color with a long lasting head. Aroma very fruity, sugared papaya, and lychee. Taste fruity, full, bitter, lychee again as well as pear and canned fruit cocktail. Second mouthful reveled a good dose of grapefruit as well. Very nice beer, surprisingly drinkable given it's abv.

Hoppy citrus aroma, hazy golden orange color, lacing that clings to the glass, strong hoppy flavor with citrus notes, clean smooth finish ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

IBUAromas6 (3) - - DEC 17, 2017 does not count

UPDATED: DEC 17, 2017 Definitely fresh tasting with a great scent. Smooth with a bit of a sweet flavor that didn’t quite feel right. Don’t think it was worth the $16 I had to pay in Korea. How much was the air freight??

Scipio (1373) - Palatine, Illinois, USA - DEC 16, 2017

Enjoy By 12-25-17. Pours a slightly hazy golden with a medium, lingering white head. The aroma is very floral and consists of grapefruit, pine, lemon, and mild peach and tangerine. The taste has plenty of bitterness. Its still very floral, but now there is a solid herbal quality found. Strong in grapefruit with a complement of pine, as well as melon, biscuit, lime, and hints of caramel. Long grapefruit finish. Light to medium in body and with a slick texture. This is very easy drinking for a beer this potent. This is a classic.

B. Pours a clear golden color with white head. Full disclosure, I had the 'enjoy by 10/31/17' on 11/20/17 so it's possible it's not at peak freshness. That being said, it's full of flavor and not too bitter.

deanso (10433) - Chiang Mai, THAILAND - NOV 6, 2017

Sample at Chiang Mai tasting, Stone Enjoy By 10.31.17 IPA. Thick creamy white head. Hazy blond pour. Lovelt bitterness. Excellent

ChrisOfstad (566) - Hamar, NORWAY - NOV 1, 2017

UPDATED: NOV 1, 2017 0,5 litre Bottle from Total Wine and Spirits, Laguna Hills. Golden with big head. Fruity, little alcohol taste! Nice!!
