New England-Style IPAs are all the rage. Fans of Stone repeatedly ask for our take on the style, which can be met with some criticism. Rooted in West-Coast style IPAs for decades, how would we do it? Fear no more. Our brewers took the approach to deliver incredibly hoppy and aromatic flavor while keeping it very balanced, and upping the alcohol unnoticeably - nailing this astounding one-of-a-kind creation.
Overall this unfiltered double IPA is juiced up with massive tropical & citrus notes. The mild bitterness and relatively dry body compliment the style, and the residual maltiness nicely rounds it out. Lingering lime peel and tropical fruit derived from the hops stand out on the finish, begging one to seek out more.

This is our take on a hazy East Coast Double IPA. Juicy and smooth with just the right touch of West Coast bitterness in the finish. The aroma on this beer is insane and reminds us of getting fresh fruit from a farm stand on the side of the road. Now, make that a farm stand on the side of the road in Yakima, WA during hop harvest. The aroma of fresh hops envelops!

[On tap at the Stone Garden, Escondido.] A clear copper pour with a ring of white head; gentle tropical fruit aroma with alcohol in the background; full bodied with resinous hops, tropical fruit and an alcohol burn. Nicely balanced overall.

Tap at O’Glee, Bangkok. Poured a hazy orange golden colour with a lasting frothy white head. The aroma is grainy malt, zesty orange marmalade citrus, light alcohol. The flavour is moderate bitter sweat, with a smooth, rich, juicy orange tangerine citrus fruit, dry hop bitter palate and a lingering boozy finish. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Fruity and alcoholic. It was what I once liked but the beer worked has moved on.

Pour is a cloudy orange with a large white head. Aroma is caramel and pine hops. Flavor is more caramel malt with some strawberry like hops flavor. Not as bitter as a finish as I thought it would be. Also a bit more dry then I thought. A little too malt heavy for my total liking. Decent hop flavor though.
