We’ve made a hell of a lot of beers since 1996. Probably thousands at this point. Some stick around for decades, somefor a few years and some are brief visits, gracing us with their hoppy presence fora short time before becoming fond memories. Occasionally stars, planets and brewing schedules align and we bring back one of these ephemeral creations. In fallof 2014 we created a draft-only version of this delicious double India pale ale. Its bitter, zesty grapefruit peel infusion created a bright accent to flavors of pine resin and fresh citrus well in advance of the explosionof fruited beers we’re all reveling in atthe moment. We never stopped thinking about it, so a long five years later, we’re bringing back Stone Grapefruit Slam IPA for round two. It’s a link to the past planted delightfully in the present.

12 oz bottle om New Years Eve 2021, in my daughters place, Laguna Hills California. Clear pour into a Leffe chalice, orange coloured body, off-white head. Surprise, surprise, it smells and tastes of Grapefruit, who would have thought that? Actually it's a very pleasant IPA with an obvious grapefruit bias.

Pours a hazy orange colour. Big dense off-white head with good retention and lacing. Aroma's of citrus zest, pine and soft fruit. Retronasal it's more soft/sweet fruit, then citrus zest, bitterish, a bit old it seems. Flavour: moderate sweet and above moderate bitter. MEdium bodied. Long firm bitter finish. Again not too fresh it seems.

From tap at Stone Brewing Tap Room - Prenzlauer Berg with ES 02.04.19. Clear dark golden. Off-white head and lacing. Aroma of tropical fruits, malt and grapefruit. Bitter taste of grapefruit zest, pine shoots, Sevilla marmalade, wood and malt. Grapefruit and pine bitterness is lingering on.

Can from Brewcraft at home. Deep orange-copper pour with fine white head. Aroma is Stone/SD-style super dank, mixed with pithy grapefruit zest - bitter, sour, sweet, and fruity. Sort of what you’d expect, in a good way. Taste is deep resinous bitterness, with some bitter grapefruit pith, citrus sour/sweet. But the grapefruit not as present in the taste. Still delicious. Stone DIPA but with a bit more grapefruit. Palate slightly heavier, but only a bit. Very good.

Can at Baan Bangkok. Poured a slightly hazy light amber colour with a lasting frothy white head. The aroma is malt, grassy grapefruit citrus, dry hop. The flavour is moderate sweet light bitter with a fresh, crisp. malt, light tart citrus fruit palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation.

Darker gold pour with some white foam on the top. Relatively clear. Nose has some hop marmalade, pink grapefruit pulp with its zesty bitterness, crisp. Taste has good citrus, sweet and creamy. Fruity pink grapefruit IPA. good grapefruit peel bitter linger in the finish. Tasty, drinks easier than its abv would foretell.
