Stone IPA (India Pale Ale)

Stone IPA (India Pale Ale)

Bottle, can, and keg: Filtered

Launched: August 1997

Hops: Magnum, Chinook & Centennial

By definition, an India Pale Ale is hoppier and higher in alcohol than its little brother, pale ale-and we deliver in spades. Now one of the most well respected and best-selling IPAs in the country, this golden beauty explodes with citrusy flavor and hop aromas, all perfectly balanced by a subtle malt character. This crisp, extra hoppy brew is hugely refreshing on a hot day, but will always deliver no matter when you choose to drink it.

3.7 Can from Super Valu Ratoath. Pours cloudy Amber with minimal white head. Aroma is citrus fruit, pine, hops. Flavour has an intense full mouth of hops but combined with lots of fruit in the mouth. Medium to high carbonation. Pine, caramel, malt and lots of hops. Thick texture. Long bitter hoppy finish.
2.2 355 ml dose Farbe orange etwas trüb Schaum feinporig relativ konstant Geruch citrus Früchte Geschmack malzig süß danach kommt die Grapefruit und die radiekale Bitterkeit
3.4 Very industrial but hoppy still with nice features. Easy to drink and not too raspy in the throat after several sips.
3.6 Colore dorato, schiuma media poco persistente, aromi erbacei, resina, fiori bianchi. Buona carbonazione, al palato, erba, corteccia, lievi sentori fruttati e di miele. Corpo medio, finale decisamente amaro. Una birra ben equilibrata, gli aromi non sono eccessivi, la componente amara caratterizza la bevuta.
3.3 Alone at home. Hazy amber colored beer with small white head and only few carbonation. Hopped fruited aroma. Full sparkling palate. Finish is strong bitter dry, reminds of tonic taste.
4.0 Fresh hoppy IPA. High value discounted at 10DKK.

3.7 Can from Systembolaget. I didn't get to rate this as well as i should but I remember a class and bold West coast IPA. Need to retry if i get the chance.

4.5 Just the Best.
4.0 That's a nice piece of bitterness. The taste is a little on the low end, but all in all a very tasty IPA one should have Taster
2.2 Honningfarvet, uklar og fint rigeligt skum. Let citrusduft. Meget bitter med smag af citrus. Slet ikke min smag.
3.8 Slight hazy golden pour. Aroma of citrus and grapefruit with a slight hint of pineapple. Flavour of citrus and pineapple. Dry bitter finish with malt hints.
4.3 A very tall tall-boy (19.2 US fl oz) can from Denman Liquor in Vancouver’s West End. A 6 oz pour into a snifter. Medium amber, translucent, moderate head, nose smells of beer. A good thing! Taste wise, this is a classic, traditional West coast IPA. Very nicely balanced, with hops and malt aplenty, oh yeah! Great stuff!
4.4 I've had Stone IPA many, many times over the years, but apparently not at a time I could write a review. Juicy, pineapple, orange and tropical fruit aromas from a slightly hazy medium orange/yellow body with a foamy white head. The juiciness in the aroma gives way to a fairly dry, bracing bitterness that still has some pineapple but much more grapefruit and citrus pith. The balance of dry bitterness to juicy fruit sweetness is what makes this such a classic IPA. Not to heavy, not to light, and just strong enough at 6.9% ABV to make it spicy but maintain that balance. There's also a distinctive hop spiciness that lays down on the tongue and stays there. Lot's of that and tropical fruit sweetness at the end. This is really an amazing IPA from a great brewery that was a founder of the West Coast IPA style.
3.0 Velmi vonava chut
3.7 Puszka. Pomarańczowe, nieprzejrzyste z niewielką pianą. W aromacie wyczuwalne chmiele. W smaku pełne, słodkie, czuć sosnowe aromaty. Smaczne
3.7 Bitter, hoppy
4.0 0,355l can from Kaufland store drinking 11/09/2021 Canned 05/10/20 Enjoy by 05/10/21 according to bottom. Pours a slightly hazy yellowish pale orange body with large frothy off-white foam on top, lots of lacing. Aroma of malt, citrus, grapefruit, tropical fruits, and pretty intense earthy, resinous, grassy and piney hops. Taste is even better with a good malt base and moderate sweet, juicy fruit flavours, citrus, grapefruit, orange, also a high bitter and lots of earthy, grassy and resinous hops flavours, dry bitter hoppy finish. Medium body, oily texture and moderate carbonation. Love the bitter hoppiness here, great west-coast style classic Ipa.
3.8 Old school IPA i västkust stil. bra med med beska men ingen fruktighet.
4.0 굿
3.7 color: naranja ligeramente turbia, espuma blanca 1 dedo poco duradera. olor: cítrico, pino, frutal. sabor: amargor medio-bajo, cuerpo medio, final seco, persistencia larga, llena toda la boca, muy equilibrada, carbonatacion media.
3.4 Very long super tall metal can. Fruit flavors that are well blended together. Medium body. Average carbonation. Pleasant finish.
3.9 12fl oz can This is the most notable IPA for my life, this one is balance between malts and hops, and clean body. The taste coming with bread from malt, light-medium sweet from malt, hops taste coming with piney, a little bit of citrus, passion fruit, a little bit of orange. Yes this is the good one, worth of all pennies for this IPA beer.
3.7 Aroma: Juicy fruity hops with grapefruit. Flavour: Dry fruity bitter with notes of grapefruit. Aftertaste is dry fruity bitter. Colour: Golden amber with a white head. From: Can @ Nemlig webshop.
4.5 0,33 can. Zöld gargoyle szörnyös dobozban hatalmas krémes, tömör fehér habbal egy szép világos-borostyán sör. Zöldfüves, gyantás, komlós IPA illat. Kortyra szárazan, gyantásan, és igencsak keserűen nyit. Igazi IPA. Hab végig szép, és finom is. Érdemes kóstolni, mivel "harapható". A sör gyengén (közepesen) szénsavas, jó gyantás, keserű "alap" IPA, de ezek között nagyon "vegytiszta" és testes, ezért kiemelkedő az átlagból. Finom volt nagyon. Az alkoholt nem érezni, keserű sör kedvelőként úgy érzem egymás után innám őket :)
3.8 Lattina. Il gusto al naso propende per il luppolo. L'olfatto viene stimolato in maniera elevata, permanendo in maniera ha una buona tenuta. La grandezza delle bollicine è a grana media. Il liquido è di consistenza limpida. La frizzantezza si presenta sotto forma di bollicine medio-fini, con carbonazione vivace e persistente. Il colore è giallo dorato carico. Il corpo è strutturato. L'amaro è carico. La forza gustativa è molto elevata e la permanenza è buona e persistente. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di amaro. Il retrogusto è intenso. Il tetto della bocca riconosce impressioni di miele, crosta di pane, luppolo, resina, agrumi, pompelmo, ananas, frutta passita e spezie.
4.2 Pours between straw and pale gold, a tad foggy with white foam and nice retention over a calm texture. First sip is bitter, sharp and a slap of hops. Then it's a strong piney flavor with straw and weeds notes. Sometimes a echo of citrus and pineapple comes through. Body is dry and firm. Finish is clean with an overwhelming resinous hoppiness that sticks to the throat. Aftertaste is a big fat hop between your tonsils.
4.1 Nice amber colour with lasting white head. Smell of bitter hops, fruits and citrus. Taste is really classic IPA with a fantastic bitterness. Great
