It’s hard to improve on something with a well-deserved name like Stone Delicious IPA… unless of course you could double the Deliciousness. We’re talking serious depth of flavor and an explosive aroma of lemon & tropical fruit from Centennial and Amarillo hops, all with less bitterness than a typical double IPA. The result is extra fruity, extra satisfying and extra Delicious.

We have played around in the past with doing a double version of our Stone Delicious IPA. This one shares some attributes with Delicious but also is its own unique beer. At 9.4%, it drinks deceivingly smooth and really captures the complex layers of a Delicious IPA!

16 ounce can. Bright orange gold pour. Large, frothy beige head. Great lacing. Sweet toasted malt aroma hints at spicy hops. Flavor upfront is bittersweet citrus and pine. Some warming alcohol in middle. Sticky pine and peppery hops on backend. Tasty.

Can from Sprouts Market in Woodland, CA. Pours clear brassy gold with a humongous creamy/foamy white head. Aroma of citrus and resin. Med plus body. Not really dry, but the malt isn't overwhelming. Not strongly bitter, but the resin and citrus (but not citrus/pine) are pretty good. A bit of orange sneaks in. Very pleasing ale.

Pours dark gold into a tulip. White soapy head with excellent retention recedes leaving trailing lacing. Dark caramel aromas. Thick with dark caramel, golden syrup and bubblegum front to back. Turning slick and continuing sweet before the dry, lasting pine finish.
