For this version of Stone Enjoy By IPA, we thought, "We don't always have a filter, so why should our beer?" By skipping a step and letting this devastatingly fresh, golden-hued double IPA go unfiltered, the beer takes on a hazy appearance, and its peach and tropical fruit hop aroma is intensified. So, though it may sound like it, this missed step was no misstep.
Like the other IPAs in this series, this version is brewed specifically NOT to last.
FEATURED HOPS
Nugget, Super Galena, Simcoe, Delta, Target, Amarillo, Cascade, Galaxy, Citra, Nelson Sauvin, Motueka & Helga
FLAVOR PROFILE
Hoppy, many stone fruit flavors and yeast-derived fruity esters dissipate quickly into a finish loaded with hop flavors and bitterness.
PALATE
Dry, with hints of alcohol warmth and bitterness on the back end. A little more heft and mouthfeel because of the unfiltered aspect of this beer.
APPEARANCE
Golden and hazy with a creamy white head.
AROMA
Intense peach, tropical fruit, and citrus. The hop dankness is a little muted in this version.
OVERALL
Although it's very similar to our regular Stone Enjoy By IPA (the same recipe), leaving the beer unfiltered results in a perceptible change in the hop aroma. It is more fruit-forward than our filtered version, which has more of a balance between dank and fruit. It's a little challenging to brew since we're used to filtering our beers, but it's a fun one with much of the same hop intensity as our original version.
