We’ve often been inspired to brew beers on a theme. In 2007 it was black IPAs. 2008 saw Belgian-influenced IPAs, and more than once it’s been Triple IPAs. It’s been fun to dive deep, and you’ve ridden those waves right along with us. But like you, we also crave new breaks to surf. Right now, it’s tropically-inspired IPAs as represented both by this flavored ale, Stone Tangerine Express IPA and others we’ve got waiting in the wings....With Stone Vengeful Spirit IPA we employ a bit of tropical mythology to pay homage to our ever present gargoyle. Since 1996 he’s had our backs, and yours, by representing an aggressive intolerance for commoditized beer. He constantly inspires us to forge ahead with resolve–even with the omnipresent forces of forceful evil. Vengeful spirits can be awesome when they’re on your side.
Another exploration into fresh fruit with a nice array of fruity and floral hops. This is about as refreshing as it gets with just the right amount of malt and bitterness to carry this beer through to another sip, taste, pint, etc.

Pours turbid honeycomb orange with smallish white head that slightly patterns. Citrus and slight pine aroma. The flavor is mandarin orange, with moderate pineapple and slight orange pith. Solid wheat malt background.

Can from Kroger. Hazy gold with a white head. Tropical fruit medley of pineapple, orange and lemon in the aroma. Well balanced flavor with fruit coming first, then a lemony bitterness with fruity finish. Tasty.
