Stone 17th Anniversary Götterdämmerung IPA Stone Brewing (Sapporo) Escondido, California
Beer style: IIPA DIPA - Imperial / Double IPA Ref: ratebeer.com Apr2024
Common descriptors are Our latest anniversary beer, starring an all-German cast of malt and hops, is yet one more glorious example of a Stone IPA brewed outside the box. Our brewers have brought their experiments with German hops to fruition, leaving convention behind to create this hefty IPA entirely with pilsner malts. These provide a superbly crisp mouthfeel, while a unique mix of noble and new-school hop varieties adds layers of bright, bitter flavors. Despite the daunting name, this beer isn’t designed to bring about the end of the world, but it just might destroy some of your preconceived notions of what an IPA can be.
