A tropical double IPA with a death metal kick to the codpiece
Collaborators: Beavertown / Garage Project / Stone
Glorious-crank-it-to-‘11’-cacophony is what happens when intense tropical fruit gets a flashpot addition of pyrotechnic heat from habanero. The result is a literal world tour, as three globe-trotting breweries collaborated on this immensely thunderous soundstorm of a beer.
Masters of brewing Beavertown (UK) and Garage Project (New Zealand) worked with us in San Diego to brew this double IPA with a power trio of kiwi, yuzu and habanero. Yuzu and habanero, sure, but who knew kiwi fruit could be so metal. Add in a colossal hop character to ride the lightning of the subtle but fiery heat. Hops, fruit, heat…And Juiciness For All.
Call up your mosh mates, crank up the tunes, throw this beer in the fridge and chill ‘em all.
We have known the Garage Project guys, Pete Gillespie and Jos Ruffell, for a while and have brewed with them a few times in the past - last year in Japan at Coedo and recently with Kris Ketcham at Stone Brewing - Liberty Station, but never at our flagship brewery in Escondido. We have also known Logan Plant from Beavertown for a few years, have been to his brewery in London, and have been very impressed by the beers and his approach to brewing. We had been looking for just the right opportunity to brew with him. This recipe is a true representation of joining our three breweries with New Zealand hops, English yeast, and some American hops, plus our Stone style of brewing IPAs. This is a very unique and wonderful beer. Enjoy it while you can get it!

Vom Fass im Muted Horn Berlin 2017-11 getrunken. Dieses trübe, gelbe IPA kommt wunderbar cremig daher. Der Hopfeneinfluss ist noch recht moderat und bestitzt eine feine Citrusfurcht. Gar nicht mal schlecht das Ale.

Bottle from Hoboken Vine. Pours a slightly cloudy orange color with a foamy off white head. Aroma of tropical fruit, caramel malt, rubbing alcohol, and a little spice. The yuzu and kiwi as an interesting component compared with your standard tropical fruit hop flavors. Tastes similar to the aroma. Pepper is light, but perceptible in the finish. Medium-full body, softly sticky. ABV is better hidden in the mouthfeel than the aroma, which is odd. Weird, slightly off finish from the pepper / vegetal thing that the habanero seems responsible for. A little disjointed, but otherwise solid.

Flarra hovshaga Imp från Denver. Mycket Ljus lätt grumlig dryck. Doftar Dipa med kiwi. Omedelbart i munnen lätt känsla. Smakar lite klassisk ladugård och sen citrustoner och eftersmaken rätt mycket ljust trä. Lite pilsner . Svagt Värmande välintegrerad habanero som knappt märks. Den är ju rikligt god. Kolsyran helt perfekt bara krämig i munnen. Varför lyckas inga svenska bryggerier få fram krämig öl där kolsyran bara krönar sig. Heja Stone. Varför får den inte högre betyg då? Lite väl tunn i munkänslan och pilsneraktig för att få mer betyg

Appearance is similar to an East Coast IPA with a hazy too cloudy pale Amber and a long-lasting off-white head with good lacing. Aroma is great with a fresh hop and citrus approach. Flavor is somewhat like Aroma Plus it's while balanced has a lot of sweetness and bitterness a little bit of heat from the habanero and a bitter backbone but plenty of sweetness to offset that. Great drinking beer.

Keg at the Beavertown Extravaganza, day one, 08/09/17. Golden orange with a decent off white covering. Nose is pine, bitter tropcial fruits, orange pith, grapefruit, toasted bread. Taste comprises orange pith, tropical fruit medley, kiwi, tangerine, mango, straw. Medium plus bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close peppered with lightly dank hop bitterness. Decent DIPA ... good balance and easy drinkability.

bottle - This brew pours a hazy gold color with suspended yeasty bits, and has an aroma bursting with fruit and hops. The flavor has good, solid bitterness with loads of fruit including citrus and tropical notes, a healthy dose of malt sweetness, and some very mild, peppery heat lingering in the background. Very tasty beer.

22oz bottle. Poured a hazy yellow-orange color with a fluffy white head. Aroma was Juicy yuzu, light tropical fruit notes. However, this didn't have a lot of heat in it, in fact I didn't even know it was there until reading the description. Juicy notes, standard Stone flavor - decent.
