Stone Features and Benefits IPA

Stone Features and Benefits IPA. (AKA F + B). Session. lo-cal, gluten-reduced IPA. 

4 % all./vol. 12 fl. oz. Stone Brewing, Escondido, CA. (& elsewhere.)

Crystal clear, bright golden color, slim whitish head, soon gone. 

In the nose: Heavy lemon. Heavier cat pee. Fairly stinky. 

In the mouth: Lightness personified. Beer-ified? Bold citrus flavors, slight hop bitterness, very little from malt, minimum texture. Extremely light in body, but not without flavors. This is definitely not brewed with me in mind, but some of you should really like it. Just far too thin for me. 

There's no way you can make an insanely flavorful, hop-forward IPA in true Stone fashion while keeping it under 100 calories, right? And surely not with just 2.9 carbs, gluten reduced and 4% ABV! Well, our brewers, along with the rest of Team Stone, love proving preconceived notions wrong. This beer brings all of the above together with the hop-driven boldness you'd expect from a Stone beer. Now, you can have both the features and the benefits.
