You have in your hands a devastatingly fresh double IPA. While freshness is a key component of many beers- especially big, citrusy, floral IPAs- we’ve taken it further, a lot further, in this IPA. You see, we specifically brewed it NOT to last. We’ve not only gone to extensive lengths to ensure that you’re getting this beer in your hands within an extraordinarily short window, we made sure that the Enjoy By date isn’t randomly etched in tiny text somewhere on the bottle, to be overlooked by all but the most attentive of retailers and beer fans. Instead, we’ve sent a clear message with the name of the beer itself that there is no better time than right now to enjoy this IPA.

4.20.24, 9%. CBC in Dallas. Stupid hazy, orange milk, slurry pour. Big orange spice upfront. Bittersweet, super herbal hops, veggy, touch of yellow onion, prickly acid, lime-ish edge on the tail, abrasive. Suddy co2, lots of foam, sharp acid in between some sugar. A bit too rough.

I have a 12 oz can of the 10/31/22 version purchased at Mr. T's on the other side of town. Stone has gone full tilt on IPAs, let us see how this beer, packaged on 9/20/22 fares. Pouring into an appreciated Ft. Worth brewery's snifter, there is a totally impervious yellow-orange liquid that is finished by a small but steady top of almost white foam. The nose is pretty fine, do I detect a substantial amount of hops in a hazy IPA? But it is the drink that is most important. Well, I will say it is pretty fine also. And I am not a real hazy IPA fan. Tangerine, pine, white bread, malt, some oj, pineapple, a bit of varnish and field. More sweet than bitter but both are present. I call this a nice convergence of flavors and effects.

Almost no aroma but big taste. Sharp citrus hoppiness, but not so boozy. Maybe a hint of it at the end. Bit of tropical funk.
