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.
What 3 words pinpoint where this beast was born? The location is printed on the can.
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!

Can. Cloudy dark orange featuring a massive white head. Aroma of stone fruits, a little bit of citrus fruits, resin, perfume and booze. Taste follows aroma plus oranges and caramel. Low bitterness. Medium carbonation. Harsh booziness undermines the overall impression of unpleasantness. My sample was probably too old and not stored in the right conditions but still this is the first Ale by Stone I didn’t enjoy.

Rocky white head on an unclear pale amber coloured body. Pine, orange & resinous aroma. Medium to full bodied, smooth, soft & sticky on the back. Pine, resinous, malt, citrus pith & grapefruit tastes with a long bitter hoppy finish. Proper West Coast hop hit - Excellent.

Can from a shit-ass corner liquor store - gotta hand it to Stone; they can still make a solid IPA - what I appreciate about this one is that it has some of the fruitier aspects of a hazy while still delivering the resinous and spicy punch of a classic west coast ipa - the approach is berries and orange - and the back end is all resin and spiciness - it’s solid, and at about tree-fiddy for a 19.2 ounce can, it’s a damn good value.
