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.

Pour is a cloudy orange with a large white head. Aroma is tangerines and other assorted fresh citrus fruits. Flavor is tropical fruit with a nice blast of citrus. Unlike those cloudy juice bombs this has quite a lot of bitterness toward the back end. A real nice IPA here. Equal parts fruit and bitter hops.

Bottle to imperial pint. Slightly hazy golden-copper with full white head. Clearer than expected. White fruit, slight dank, peach aroma. Citrus and dank are both overt on the flavor. Moderate high bittering.

Bottle from Brewers Haven. Hazy pour, medium golden, soft, bubbly head. Gentle, citrusy aroma, grapefruits. Body has a nice weight. Feels chewy. Taste goes in several different directions at once, hoppy, citrus, floral, yeast. Complex, but enjoyable. 01.01.20 -sharp bitterness, citrus peel

beautiful amber color. Tangerine and biscuity malt character.biscuity, cracker notes provide excellent backbone, on top of deep, zippy, marmalade character. super well balanced. For 9.4% the alcohol is very well hidden and highly drinkable. Excellent.

Draft at The Ale House Amesbury. Cloudy, bright yellow with plenty of C02. Aroma of Floral hops, mild honey, and danky pine.
Flavor is tangerine peel, clementines, and grapefruit rind upfront. Then that danky pine slap in the finish. Maybe a touch of caramel is is wanted by my palate. Bitterness is substantial. What I like most is the 9.4% heat isn’t really noticed. (Just in a light warming) after the swallow) Bold hop bomb that is pretty much expected from this brewery. Classic Stone.

Refrigerated 12 oz. brown bottle enjoy By 12/25/2016 poured into a snifter. Slightly hazy deep golden with small white head. Aroma is tropical fruit, medium body, lower carbonation, and little lacing. Taste is tropical fruit, herbal hops, and slightly bitter finish.

Reviewed from notes.
This was poured into a tulip.
The appearance was a hazy, deep golden bronzed orange color with a thick layer of white to off white foam settling to a nice looking cap of a head.
The aroma has juicy citrus fruit leaning towards grapefruit and tangerine mainly. And underneath some notes of pine resin, grass, citrus hops, and some tropical fruitiness sliding in nicely.
The flavor pulls all of those previously mentioned aromas together with some sweet to bitter juiciness to balance. Nicely balanced citrus sweet to bitter rind-like aftertaste rolling into the finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fairly smooth feel coordinating nicely with a good carbonation and adequate bitter harshness hitting my tongue just right.
Overall, good DIPA that I would have again.

22oz bomber, consumed 08 14 16, pours with a lightly hop hazed deep gold body that supports a dirty white head of foam. The aroma just pulses with mango, cantaloupe, honeydew and tangelo with a bit of spicy onion hop dankness in the background. The taste delivers mango, cantaloupe and tangelo hop juiciness and grapefruit citrus like bitter hoppiness. The bitter and juiciness go back and forth with thin pulses of spicy bitter onion like hops. Solid yummy hoppy brew. Lovely. Fresh and wonderful.
