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.

Tap into a snifter showing cloudy orange with sparse white foam. The nose shows vibrant and intense grapefruit. The palate is light bodied and moderately carbonated. Slight tones of grapefruit but intensely tart for its own good.

Draught at Super Deli Mart, Seattle
Hazy dark blond color. Very piney hops, and an explosion of citrus fruits and citrus peel; grapefruit, sweet orange, bitter orange... Powerful but lean, not very sweet, with a warming alcohol feeling in the end.
Excellent.

Bottle. Pours quite hazy golden orange, lots of tiny suspended particles. Medium off-white head, dissipates slowly, good lacing. Aroma is dank, spruce, grapefruit, passionfruit, melon. Flavor is light sweet, medium bitter, dank, piney, tropical. Fully body, super creamy mouthfeel, lingering bitterness. A bit harsh and in your face, but otherwise excellent.
