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.

clear golden colour, huge, creamy yellowish off-white head; aroma of overripe grapefruit, tangerine, maybe mango, too, pine resin, and some herbal notes; taste is the same with biscuits, syrupy notes and some peppery spiciness; perfect balance of hops and malts! I love it!

Botella 33 cl tomada en el momento en alt strase Gijón 24..12..2015. Embotellada 21..09..2015 hasta 17..06..2016 (grabado en botella). (r3429). Color amarillento dorado velado con espuma blanca persistente. Aromas y sabores intensos destacando sobretodo lupulos verdes y frescos acabando con amargo no muy pronunciado. Cuerpo medio a intenso bastante líquido, fino y fácil de beber apesar de sus 8.5 vol. Bastante buena. Para repetir sin duda.

Draft @ Moeder Lambic, Sint-Gillis. Hazy amber colour, creamy white foam. Incredible fruity nose: pine, honey, passion fruit, pineapple. Sweet but also bitter hoppy finish. Very well balanced .Great!

A good old fashioned IPA with loads of bitter hops, hold those new fangled floral aromas, thanks. It’s all about the pine and the grapefruit which are just ALL OVER your tongue. It holds its alcohol well for a double IPA.
