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!

12oz can. Poured a clear amber color with a medium sized white head. Aroma was grassy, resin, apricot. Flavor was big, creamy apricot and some grass. Really nice stuff, but it's a bit too big for my liking these days. It's thick and enjoyable in a small quantity, but 12 ounces is too much for me these days.
