By definition, an India pale ale is hoppier and higher in alcohol than its little brother, pale ale—and we deliver in spades. One of the most well-respected and best-selling IPAs in the country, this golden beauty explodes with tropical, citrusy, piney hop flavors and aromas, all perfectly balanced by a subtle malt character. This crisp, extra hoppy brew is hugely refreshing on a hot day, but will always deliver no matter when you choose to drink it.

Dose („Stone IPA“, „gebraut in Deutschland", 33 cl) aus einem Kaiser’s in Berlin-Steglitz. - Orangegold, schwach trüb. - In der Nase üppige IPA-Aromen in perfekter Balance: Mango, Orangenschale, Nadelwald, dazu Karamel. - Im Antrunk verbinden sich fülliges Karamelmalz und kräftige Pampelmusenschale zu komplexer, trockener Herbe, in der die süße Fruchtigkeit der Nase nicht mehr vorkommt. Mild rezent, ölig weich im Mund. Kräftig zitrusherber Abgang; sehr langer, wuchtig bitterer Nachtrunk. - Klassisches, strenges IPA.

Bottle at home. Pours a slightly hazy orange colour with a big creamy off-white head. Aroma of orange peel, grapefruit, pale malt, spicy hops, pine and grass. A little careful though. Flavour of grassy hops, pine and grapefruit. A little dry in the end. Has a slick mouth feel, medium to full-bodied and a medium bitternes. A well-balanced and solid IPA.

Can, brewed in Germany. Pours slightly hazy yellow, with a big creamy head receding to finger thickness. Aroma is bitter hops, with pine and citrusy notes, as well as some malts with biscuits and honey. Medium body, with soft carbonation. Flavour is bitter, with resin, pine and citrusy notes of grapefruit and orange peel, grassy notes, stone fruits and light tropical notes, as well as lots of malts with cereals and honey balancing it all. Lingering bitter finish. Very easy drinking, and moreish.

0,33 l can, brewed in Berlin. Clear golden in the glass, small two finger off white foamy head. Floral hop with resin on the nose, malt in the background. Taste starts with a strong hop bitterness, floral in the background, malty bedding, some resin. Long lasting bitterness in the aftertaste. Complex mouthfeel. Reference stuff for its style.
