The Stone IPA is almost a classic among India Pale Ales. Released in 1997, it has been delighting fans of hoppy beer ever since with its distinctive fruity notes and full hop pack. The Stone IPA is a total work of art made up of seven different hop varieties that come together to create a very special beer experience. It’s not for nothing that the Stone IPA ranks with 99 out of 100 points on the beer rating site ratebeer.com: The hop intensity of this beer is second to none and more than lives up to the name IPA.
The IPA impresses as soon as you pour it with its clear, golden color and the great contrast of the white foam head. A fresh citrus scent paired with notes of tropical fruits and a grassy hint of pine immediately hits your nose. The Stone IPA promises summer refreshment and can definitely keep this promise: The light beer is intensely lemony without being too sweet. The citrus note is balanced by a light malt aroma. Clean bitter notes run through the entire drinking experience, the hoppy initial drink does what it promises and remains clearly hoppy and subtly floral in the finish. The pearly taste makes the Stone IPA the perfect companion for hot summer days. Stone Brewing’s Stone IPA is one of the most popular IPAs in the United States and is also very popular here. No wonder, because this beer is a real hop bomb without being too bitter or too floral. A perfect India Pale Ale from Stone Brewing.
