Stone Aggro Agronomist IPA
Featuring hops from Perrault Farms in Toppenish, Washington
Getting all aggro can sometimes be a negative. Getting aggro with your hops however? Awesome. (Try singing that aloud in your best Stone Aggro heavy metal falsetto). Equally awesome: getting aggro with hop agronomy. It's often a tradition passed down through generations, as is the case with Perrault Farms in Toppenish, Washington. Since 1928, the Perrault family and friends have honed their craft to breed new hop varieties with ever more awesome (sing it again) flavors and aromas. This beer features the powerhouse hop Citra as well as two new varieties - Sabro and the as-of-yet unnamed HBC 692. These new beauties balance classic citrus notes with intriguing hints of coconut, herbs and stone fruit. We've gotten aggro many times with our beers since 1996. So a tip of the hat to aggro agronomists like the Perrault family who give us the tools to aggressively propel our craft forward.

12 oz can from a six pack, rated on paper up the river a couple days ago. Aroma is citrus peel, pineapple. Pours lightly hazy golden with a one finger bone white head with good retention. Taste is moderate to highly bitter with flavors of the aroma descriptors, along with a coconut note that I didn't get from the nose. Good.

On draught at Frontier Brewing and Taproom.
It pours a clear corny yellow with the usual excellence of foam, foam retention and lacing for Stone beers.
Big notes of pine, dankness, melon in the smell.
Taste is pine, melon, mild onion, it's dank but at a tolerable level. Some grass sneaks in with further sips.
Good mouthfeel, good IPA.
