In the spirit of all the exploratory missions deployed across the galaxy — be they spacecraft, Viking or other — we’re constantly probing the world of beer back here on Earth. That quest has brought us to this latest creation, which comes from our brewing team at Stone Brewing – Napa. With a subtle haze reminiscent of some far-off nebula, and further complimented with the juicy flavors of Ella and Citra hops, this beer is most definitely out of this world. Crafted to be enjoyed on Earth, but if intelligent life does exist out there, we’re pretty sure they’ll like it too.

Trying this bottle, late at night with my wife after a beautiful afternoon with my son at Sauvabelin. Solid ipa, juicy, fruity, resinous note, bitter, citrus, floral and aromatic, well balanced, rather a classical ipa, 29.09.23, at Epalinges.

Can. Very cloudy gold. I'll be honest I've been drinking IPAs for a very long time and I can honestly say I've never had one that tasted like grapefruit juice than this one. But in a good way.

Bottle from Drankenhandel Leiden. As Stone Viking Space Probe Hazy Double IPA. Tropical fruit aroma with mango, grapefruit, orange, fruity hops, and yes pine resin. Soft malt backbone, hint of caramel. Flavour is nicely bitter with a mild sweetness. Body is medium. Beautiful, this is the Stone I love.

Sample (Thanks omhper!). Yellowish golden colour with a small white head. Aroma is floral, fruity, some herbal and mild nectary tones. Flavour is fruity, floral, bready and some toffeeish elements as well as a quite sharp bitter bite to it.

Bottle, 8.5%. Good fruity mango aroma. Quite cloudy dark orange colour with bits of yeast floating in it. Big stable creamy white head. The flavour is sweet and peppery followed by a good fruitiness along with a caramelly maltiness and a decent bitterness. Creamy and full mouthfeel, almost syrupy. Tastes more of DIPA than NEIPA, but looks more like NEIPA. 838316

Orange golden color with white head and medium body. This beer was old and unpleasant to drink. Grapefruit aroma, and awful bitter taste with nasty almost metallic finish. Yuck!

Alkoholisch hopfiger Beginn, nett, das Bier ist aber spürbar alt, ohne dass das MHD erreicht ist - klassische Importware, die bei mehreren Zwischenhändlern lange rumstand. Getreidig, etwas Karamell, Süße Fruchtnoten von Aprikose. Geringe Bitterkeit, süffig, mittellanger Abgang. 9/11/11/11/12/11
