For this version of Stone Enjoy By IPA we thought: “We don’t always have a filter, so why should our beer?” By skipping a step and letting this devastatingly fresh, golden-hued double IPA go un filtered, the beer takes on a hazy appearance and its peach and tropical fruit hop aroma are intensified. So though it may sound like it, this missed step was no misstep.
Like the other IPAs in this series, this version is brewed specifically NOT to last.
Although it’s very similar to our regular version of Stone Enjoy By IPA (it is the same recipe after all), leaving the beer unfiltered results in a perceptible change with the hop aroma. It is more fruit-forward than our filtered version, which has more of a balance between dank and fruit. It’s a little challenging to brew, since we’re used to filtering our beers, but a fun one, with much of the same hop intensity as our original version.

Can. Clear deep gold with a white head. Aroma of honey and citrus. Firm, yet light acidic bitterness front to back, but otherwise pretty middle of the road. Not too sweet, not too bitter, but needs more dimension.

Tap at Cap Hop. Pours slightly hazy gold with a white head. Fruity aroma with a touch of light malt. Med body plus a little. Flavor has a tang of pale stone fruit along with a touch of citrus - the tang might be yeast/spice. Now it seems a bit pine. Good stuff.
