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.

Fat på Skaal 12 SEPTEMBER 2020. . Ser ut som en vanlig Stone Ruination . Doftar tydlig söt malt med apelsinskal i ovh lite tallbarret. I munnen åhhhhh långt från Nya Ängland yeees. Smakar fyllig tung krämig apelsin 🍊. Väldigt fin eftersmak och perfekt beska och små krämiga bubblor . God god

Tap at Goblet ZG. Hazy golden-amber body, lasting white head. Heavy oxidized maltiness with light notes of figs. Sweet oxidized taste, just maltiness without any traces of hops. This is a disgrace, who knows how ancient this was when it crossed the ocean... or how long it stayed somewhere in some European warehouse before the importer pulled it... Even for (I guess) 8 months of age, this was terrible.

On tap at Goblet Beer Store, Zagreb. Hazy golden to dark golden, medium lasting creamy off-white head. Moderately hoppy, ripe fruit, spices, zest. Seems slightly oxidized. Lots of honey, dried fruit and brown sugar in the flavour. Orange zest. Sticky, alcohol well hidden. Medium body, moderate bitterness, light carbonation. Maybe a bit old, otherwise seems interesting.

Draft. An unclear amber beer with a lazing yellowish head. The aroma has notes of exotic fruits, hops, spices, and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of hops, spices, malt, and caramel, leading to a bitter finish.

Tap at 100 piv. Full body, med-high carbonation. Strength assertively showing, with light alcoholic warmth, but also that deep caramelly maltiness. High sweetness, moderate bitterness - not nearly enough. The same can be said about hops, moderate citrusy hoppiness, but not enough. I expect more of Stone.

Poured a hazy dark yellow color with a medium sized white head. Another in a long line of solid Stone IPA offerings... good, hazier than their other core beers. Juicy citrus, floral hops with a touch of resin and grapefruit. Enjoyable stuff.

Bomber from Corti Bros. Pours hazy orangey gold with a large foamy white head. Aromas are mixed. Tropicals, citrus/pine and slightly cooked caramel. Full bodied or nearly. Flavor is passion fruit, citrus/pine, slightly roasty malt and astringency suggesting pineapple. Fruity but rather dry. Very hoppy. Very bitter - biting/burning on tongue. This is incredible ale.
