So called because of its truly "ruinous" effect on your palate, this massive hop monster will change forever your preconceptions of what defines good beer. This is Stone IPA's big brother, and we mean BIG. We essentially began with our already-awesome Stone IPA, threw in an extra-large helping of malt, and added a lot more hops. And then some more. And then even more, resulting in a vibrant blast of citrusy bitterness that hits you on the first sip. Just one taste and you'll know why we call this indelicate jewel "A liquid poem to the glory of the hop!"
One of the first regularly brewed and bottled imperial IPAs.

Blik gedeeld door Benzai, geprobeerd met Inoven. Het is een licht troebel geel bier met een medium witte schuimkraag. Het heeft een hoppige geur. De smaak is scherp hoppig en vol.

From Jun 2006
poured from 22oz bottle a medium gold with a large head of foam that dissipated slowly leaving a solid layer with good lacing.
The smell is a citrusy hop..a mix of lemon and grapefruit.
The taste has a huge hop flavour initially that is quite bitter but as I swish the brew in my mouth, there *is* a definite malt presence there that softens the hop attack a bit but yeah, make no mistake aboot it...this brew is a hop bomb first and foremost and that's a good thing. ;^) That's why I keep picking up this beer when I make my(in) frequent jaunts to Colorado.
Bottom line: A great DIPA that, imho, deserves the reputation that it has acquired. I Highly Recommend it!

Can from Stone Berlin at 8.5. Very hoppy tropical aroma. Medium body. Tons of hoppy bitterness on tongue with additional nuts. Heavy astringent bitterness. Still drinkable. Good.
