Our latest anniversary beer, starring an all-German cast of malt and hops, is yet one more glorious example of a Stone IPA brewed outside the box. Our brewers have brought their experiments with German hops to fruition, leaving convention behind to create this hefty IPA entirely with pilsner malts. These provide a superbly crisp mouthfeel, while a unique mix of noble and new-school hop varieties adds layers of bright, bitter flavors. Despite the daunting name, this beer isn’t designed to bring about the end of the world, but it just might destroy some of your preconceived notions of what an IPA can be.

22oz bottle thanks to Doug
Pours slightly hazy golden with a medium size white head and good lacing. Aroma is bready, citrus and earthy. Flavors of bready malts, caramel, pine resin, spicy and lemon. Leaving an oily mouthfeel
Smooth and easy drinking.Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 6 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 7
Medium sized white head with good retention and nice lacing. Bright copper/gold colored brew. Nose is nice, spicy and grassy with some fruity hints.Body is medium with a nice carbonation, a hint oily, crisp. Lightly sweet malts, grainy goes well with the grassy hop flavors. Little earthy and spicy with a fairly dry and bittered finish. No budduh! Bomber from statelineliquors.

Rated in Sept. 2013 and consumed ultra fresh. 22oz bomber pours with a crystal clear deep gold body that supports a white head of foam. The aroma is . . . hello rich Noble hoppiness. I get floral and dank spicy onion notes as well as earthy grassiness and some sweet candied lime. The taste starts by tossing up a load of rich deep sugary malt sweetened Noble like hops at ya all at once. These are Noble hops at a robustness and smoothness rarely attained, if ever, IMHO. I get floral, lime candy, earthy tea and some smooth dank onions that unleash loads of hop flavor and hop bitterness. Wonderful rich vibrant bitter and flavorful brew. Well executed. Love it.

A bright golden colored beer with a big frothy loosely bubbled white head rising above. There's good hang time on the head. It settles into a rich lacing. Light-muted nose. Bold malted sweetness and citric hoppiness well crafted together. Refreshingly light and effervescent.

Gifted bottle, Wish List beer. Golden yellow pour, tall tight white head, nice lacing. Huge earthy and fruity hops aroma and flavors upfront - Noble hops, pineapple, pine - big and bitter, offset nicely by abundant malt sweetness. This is like a Uber hoppy Monster Pils/IPA hybrid and I love it! Thanks to CascadeCandace for this great Stone beer.

Sweet. Why'd it have to be sweet. OK, so the lines subject is "snakes" in the movie quote, but it just wouldn't do for this review. This beer is sweet, but it's also hoppy to. A good dose of pine needles on the sniff, a touch spicy, alcohol, but also lots of fruity cocktail syrupyness. I get a lot of tropical fruity character like mango and pineapple on the flavor, some underlying vegetal bitterness like carrots or bell peppers combined with pine sap and wet leaves. Finish is long and enjoyable.Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 9 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 9 | Overall: 9
This is a top notch double IPA. Reminds me of their cali-epique but a little stronger. Sampled their Best By 10-25-13 IPA the week before which didn't seem as good as this one. 17th Anniversary has a semi-cloudy medium yellow/light orange apprearance, with strong pine and bitter hops flavor. Has a near-barleywine feel. Glad that I tried this one.

A bright gold colored beer with a small head that fades quickly. The aroma is not too aggressive, but unusual in a nice way, notes of sweet malt and spicy herbal hops with some citrus as well. The flavor continues that theme, with very high bitterness and hops that are perhaps more grassy than I first thought. The malt is prominent but not heavy. Very clean, yeast wise. Mouthfeel is fairly full-bodied This is unique and interesting. It tastes more like an Imperial Pilsner than an IPA.

I think its safe to say that stone can make a stand out ipa. The overuse of hops in everything they do is a bit droll however, its like you already know what it will taste like even before you try it. Good from a consistancy standpoint but lacking imagination.
