Featuring El Dorado & Centennial Hops from CLS Farms
Behind every great beer are amazing stories of all the people, places and ingredients that culminate in what you have in your hand. The Stone Farm to Can Series is our heartfelt tribute to the dedicated farmers who cultivate the hops that help bring our beers to life. Each beer in this series features hops grown at a single specific farm as our way of paying homage to their harvest. Many of these growers breed and develop their own varieties, like CLS Farms in Moxee, Washington did with El Dorado hops, named for the mythical hidden City of Gold. Moxee lies nestled in Yakima Valley, the very real paradise of hop production in the American Pacific Northwest. Stone Moxee Gold IPA is loaded with Centennial and of course El Dorado hops, all sourced from the fruitful bines of CLS Farms. The valley itself may be mostly green, but its bounty of hops are as good as gold.
This beer is the first in our Farm To Can Series, highlighting our hop growers that obviously play a critical role in our beers here at Stone Brewing. This IPA features hops from CLS Farms in Moxee, Washington. CLS Farms is a large grower of the amazing Centennial, a classic hop found in several Stone Brewing beers, most notably Stone IPA. El Dorado is a newer hop developed by CLS Farms, featured in Stone Delicious IPA. Our brewers paired both hops together to form a seemingly simple but amazing West Coast IPA that celebrates collaboration and the bond between grower and brewer.

Good, if a tad repetitive; orange, lemon, and melon backed up by hints of caramel from the malt and a bracing, piney bitterness on the back end. The bitter finish is nice; the hops hew closely to Stone's standard profile these days, which makes this IPA hard to differentiate from the dozen other new IPAs Stone's released in the past year. Doesn't stand out, in other word, but that hasn't prevented me from finishing the pint.

Can from Craft Brewed. Pours a clear orange gold with a full two fingers of foam that dissipates to a ring. Caramel, pine, perfumey floral notes and light melon aromas. Bitter pine and pith on the palate with some light peppery flavors. Lemon and grapefruit citrusy pith with a lingering peppery bitterness. Caramel malt that comes out more as it warms.
