Stone Tropic of Thunder Lager

Stone Tropic of Thunder Lager. Tropical Lager. 5.8% ABV. Stone Brewing, Escondido, CA.

Clear, bright golden color, slim white ring of foam.

In the nose: citrusy, floral, slight sweetness.

In the mouth: Lightly hoppy, a touch of bitterness, a smack of sweet. Easy on the palate, definitely refreshing and ridiculously drinkable. Little bit of citrus tastes bounce off the tongue as the hop bitterness increases a bit. This is tasty stuff, for sure.

I don't have too much more to say about it. In fact, that about covers it. Stone Brewing, however, has a lot more to tell you:


Maroon yourself: Imagine you set sail for a three hour tour. Let’s say from the Port of Escondido (work with us here). The weather started getting rough. Your tiny ship (but not lunch, thankfully) was tossed. Long story short: You’re marooned on a remote island somewhere near the Tropic of Thunder. The good news is that the Capt. of the S.S. Stone and her brewing kit were among the small cast of colorful characters that survived the rough voyage with you. Mainstays Citra & Mosaic along with newcomer Cashmere hops are joined by their juicy tropical aromas of citrus, pineapple and coconut (try stringing all that together in a catchy tune). The rescue ship will find you all soon enough. For now, set aside the non-working cell phone and lack of social media (again, work with us here), kick back and revel in your moment of tropical island lagoon serenity.
