Stone Enjoy By 4.20.2021 IPA

Stone Enjoy By 4.20.2021 IPA. Blazy Hazy IPA. Brewed to be blazingly fresh. 


9% ABV, 50 IBU. Stone Brewing, Escondido, CA. 

Lightly hazy, bright orange hue, large and lasting creamy white head. 

In the nose: Fresh, lively happiness. Citrus & pine, slightly floral and tropical, with a touch of stone fruit, to boot. Lovely stuff. 

In the nose: More of the above drops on the palate. Big hoppiness matched by bigger booze. Powerful. Juicy. More tropical notes emerge  to join the citrus explosion. Full body. Big spill of flavors, juicy fruit, candied apricot, orange pith, gummi bears. 

Once again, the sixth bottle in the 6-pack is the one I publish notes upon. I did it, though, if there was any doubt, I managed to finish off the lot of them before the due date. Six bottles down in 10 days. I did it!

We’ve been brewing the groundbreaking Stone Enjoy By IPA series since 2012. Despite dozens of releases and a few variants over the years, we’ve never done a hazy version… until now. Stone Enjoy By 04.20.21 Hazy IPA is a celebration of those magical little green buds we call hops. This stunningly fresh imperial IPA is brewed to be enjoyed within 37 days, so don’t let the back of your fridge bogart. Sit back, relax, and take this puppy down in a blaze of hazy glory with a b̶i̶g̶ ̶o̶l̶’̶ ̶r̶i̶p̶ series of thoughtful sips.
