An India pale ale packed with whole tangerine & pineapple

Imagine the tropical haze of a lazy afternoon- into-evening. Your official duties for the day have been to maybe take a hike to a secluded waterfall, perhaps grill something, definitely chill with plenty of sand between your toes…and crack a phenomenal beer to complete the experience. Check, check, check again and…pfffft…check.

This ain’t no just-add-juice approach. This one is for adults. We use bountiful whole tangerine purée, which brings pithy, crisp bitterness to the citrus flavor. In addition to the complexities of the tangerine — the likes of which you can only get by using the whole fruit — we judiciously employ just a hint of whole pineapple for a backnote (you’d likely not even pick it out of the mix if we didn’t tell you it was there). We’re not looking for a sweet concoction to appease the “I want my beer to taste like fruit juice” crowd. This is Stone. We like our IPAs to taste like IPAs. Big, bold and not for kids.

Working with fruit can be amazing and so using amazing quality fruit is key to achieving that wonderful freshness. The high-end pureed fruit selected here blends exceptionally well with the aroma and flavors from the hops, creating a multi-layered IPA that also has fresh hoppy dankness and bitterness that superbly rounds out this beer.

Just beautiful, a manet painting, orange/mandarine body, so hoppy, so citrus, so powerful in the tongue, a piece of art this can, 18.09.18 at the ex comptoir Lausanne, it was the last year of this event, unfortunately. It was a really nice moment in family and after this beer, a big stress because my son ate too many bread and we had to push this bread out of the throat.

Can from Joe's Wine and Liquor, Memphis. Aroma is fruity with citrus, orange, zesty tangerine, fruit peel, tropical fruits, grapefruit. Flavour is moderate sweet and firmly bitter. Body is medium. Pretty good for a fruited IPA, no candied artificiality.

355ml can from lowcostbeer, 3 weeks past BBE. Look - hazy orange-gold, moderate frothy white head, nice retention. Aroma - tangerine, malts, resin. Taste - tangerine, citrus zest, pine resin, big bold bitterness. Not really getting the pineapple element. Palate - medium bodied, smooth, soft carbonation. Its decent.

Optisch goldgelb und opaltrüb mit feiner bis mittelgrober Perlage. Die opulente, weiße, feinporige Schaumkrone gibt sich dabei flaumig-stabil, langlebig und wandelt sich sehr langsam in eine mittelporige und weiterhin sehr gut haltbaren Masse. Die Duftaromatik zeigt sich mit sehr fruchtig-saftigen Noten von Mandarine, Orange bzw. einer grundsätzlichen Zitrusfruchtigkeit, Ananas und einer sehr zarten Harzigkeit. Der Antrunk kommt sehr frisch, fruchtig, relativ grob rezent, leicht süßlich reifzitrusfruchtig und harzig-herb. Im Mundgefühl präsentiert sich ein Körper mit guter Fülle, relativ grober, moussierender Rezenz, weicher, leicht cremiger Textur und guter Trockenheit. Geschmack und Aroma überzeugen mit frischer, leicht süßlichen und fruchtig-herben Noten von reifen Zitrusfrüchten, reiffruchtiger Ananas - allen voran Mandarine, aber auch harzig-bitterer Hopfenaromatik, die sich ganz gut ins Gesamtbild einfügt und für den knackigen Kick in dieser Fruchtigkeit sorgt. So kann man von einem gelungenen und abwechslungsreichen, fruchtig-saftigen IPA sprechen, dessen Drinkability man als sehr gut bezeichnen kann. Im Nachtrunk wirken die fruchtig-saftigen Noten gemeinsam mit einer deutlich bitteren, leicht harzigen Hopfenaromatik sehr gut und lange nach. Die zunehmende, grasige bis harzige Bittere und leichte Adstringenz verlangt dann auch schon nach dem nächsten Schluck. Fazit: Absolut sauber, sehr fruchtig, aber auch knackig und hält genau das was es verspricht. Es hebt sich von der breiten Masse an verschiedensten IPAs schon ein wenig ab - jedoch ohne dabei den ultimativen Wow-Effekt zu erzeugen.
