Stone Delicious Double IPA.
9.4% ABV, Stone Brewing, Escondido, CA.
This one was from a Stone variety pack and I should have had this one six months ago. C’est la vie.
Opaque, deep orange/golden hued, large and lasting cap of ivory head.
In the nose: dank and citrusy. Tangerine, pineapple, grapefruit.
In the mouth: big, zesty, bitter, plus a little slick and smooth. Bitterness hangs on the palate, pine and citrus dominates the flavors. Alcohol hangs high over all.
I am enjoying this particular beverage.
It’s hard to improve on something with a well-deserved name like Stone Delicious IPA… unless of course you could double the Deliciousness. We’re talking serious depth of flavor and an explosive aroma of lemon & tropical fruit from Centennial and Amarillo hops, all with less bitterness than a typical double IPA. The result is extra fruity, extra satisfying and extra Delicious.
