Stone Delicious IPA has been a rising star in our lineup thanks to its intense lemony-herbal flavor and aroma. That got us thinking… Why not amp up the citrus factor even more? Adding Talus hops to the mix brings in vibrant tangerine notes which are further amplified by the addition of sweet orange peel. The result is extra citrusy, extra juicy and extra Delicious.

A new addition to our Delicious family of beers. Besides the citrus quality from a great trio of hops in Amarillo, El Dorado, and Talus, we use sweet orange peel as well to really amp up the fruity components of this beer. It is truly Delicious!

Cask at Great British Beer Festival 2023, Olympia, London. A hazy golden/yellow coloured pour with a medium white head on top. Hoppy, citrus, grapefruit, pine, tropical fruit taste and aroma. Decent IPA from Stone.

Pours amber with a big white head. Aroma of tangerine. Taste has some spice, tons of pine, lots of citrus oils. Palate has more tangerine, some woody notes, fine carbonation that conveys the same citrus notes to the nose. Quite good.

Cask at GBBF 2023 - Day 1. Pours clear yellow-gold with a small, foamy white head. Medium sweet flavour, some ripening citrus, bready pale malts. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Sweet finish, ripening citrus. Fine.

Poured up on tap at tipsy where it exhibits a near clear copper gold body that supports a near white head of foam. The aroma offers up jabs of citrus orange, grapefruit and then lighter maybe berry and guava fruitiness. The taste delivers a burst of mango and guava quickly transitioning into tangy orange citrus and bitter grapefruit. It maintains the same level of citrus right into the finish. Pretty nice.

Can from Safeway at Sonoma Airbnb. Yum! Better than regular I’d say.

On tap at Stone Escondido, pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out citrus hops, some pine, herbal notes, and biscuity malt. Flavour is very citrusy, with shitloads of citrus hops, citrus peel, and a hint of barely sweet biscuity malt. Citrusy and grapefruity peel-like finish. Excellent.

From the mixed 6pack. Best by...the end of March?? 4 month window.

Pours a pretty clear pale gold with a very impressive head of foam and lacing.

I smell grapefruit citrus, cracker malt, smell is kind of bitter with an underlying note of caramel/sweet malt.

The taste is bitter sweet, with a definite voice telling me that this is past its prime. (I pulled it from the store cooler but it could have been stored warm for a while)

Nothing wrong with the mouthfeel.

Could have been a contender?

Can. Pours a clear orange hue a large white head. A big sweet citrus and malty nose. Rich layers of citrus, toast, really quite malty. Smooth.
