Our tribute to a stone cold classic.. One of the originals in aggressively hoppy beers, San Diego’s Stone Brewing has no doubt been integral to craft beer's growth across the world.
This beer binds together an array of complex malts and one of the boldest hops to come from the US. Extra Pale, Pale Crystal, Dark Crystal, Medium Crystal and Special B malts bring a robust base full of chewy, caramelised and slightly roasty character for Chinook hops to wrestle with. We added the freshest Chinook hops throughout the brew to bring out its unmistakable fresh pine and pithy grapefruit zest character. It’s big, it’s malty, it’s hoppy and it’s bitter. It revelles in its unprecedented and uncompromising celebration of intensity.

[33cl can from Beer52.] A slightly hazy reddish chestnut pour with a thin beige head; fruity malt aroma; smooth caramel malt body with an immediate strong resinous bitterness, well balanced, allowing the sweetness of the malts to come through; before a spicy warming finish with lingering bitter hops. Definitely a homage to Stone Brewing.

Large creamy off white head stayed on reddish brown body. Resin, malt & biscuit aroma. Medium bodied, sharp , dry & short in the back. Malt, roasted, pine & sweet berries with an extremely bitter resinous finish. We're on the lines of Arrogant Bastard here. Good one.
