25 years ago we celebrated the 1st Anniversary of our fledgling brewery with a beer that was far away from the craft beer norms at the time. It was far too intense. It was far too hoppy and bitter. Yet it became the shot heard ‘round the world, and beer history was changed forever. We’re talking of course about our flagship Stone IPA. So, to celebrate the beer that (eventually) launched generations of hop fanatics, we present this imperial version of the beer that made our name among the (budding) craft beer legions. Loaded with gloriously bitter notes of piney, citrusy, resinous dankness, it’s everything we love about our classic West Coast style IPA…properly turned up to 11 25 for the occasion.

    Poured up on tap at Stone Little Italy back in August. The draft beer exhibits a clear copper color with thin amber hues and supporting a near white head of foam. The modest aroma offers up thin ribbons on malts mingling with inviting citrus and a bubble or two of spicy hoppiness. The taste comes across smooth and fairly full across the palate. I get a pleasant spicy to grapefruit citrus hop bitterness flowing slowly toward a growing bitter hop pine sap sensation. The hops go together seamlessly and with the soft lightly sweet body this seems like it can be a formidable crusher of a beer. Love it.
