Rated in Nov. 2015. 32oz growler pours with a crystal clear copper body that supports a light tan head of foam. The aroma offers up loads of hops like tangerine, cantaloupe, a bit of pineapple and then earthy grassy hops and some hop spiciness. The taste begins pleasingly hoppy with a blend of spicy onion like hops, bitter citrusy tangerine as well as juicy pineapple flowing into a grassy hop sensation. It gets a little nectar sweet with citrus and candied onions to midway for a moment. Hoppy bitterness, juiciness and clean crisp freshness. This is solid. Wow.

Another solid Stone collaboration. Seemed like I was drinking another one of their "Enjoy Bys" but with a different label. All of these different IPAs from them starting to blend together, but this can remembered by the peach profile. Not overwhelmingly peachy, but adds a different kind of sweetness. A little pricey, but something different to try.

Pours clear golden amber with a thick and frothy, if not too long-lasting, pale buff head. Aroma presents a strong hoppy note that has citrus and fresh malt underpinnings. Boldly hoppy flavor is nevertheless only slightly bitter, and shares the stage with malty and citrus tones for a tasty and well-rounded, if not spectacular or distinctive, IPA. Firm texture presents good body and fizz. You won’t be sorry you drank this.

Love the copper colour pour but the head and non existent lacing leave a lot to be desired. The rest is excellent. Fruitiest imperial ipa aroma ever. Flavour of pine, grapefruit and peach, apricot sweetness. Slightly astringent. Syrupy mouthfeel. Tastes like a Stone brew but I haven't had anything from the other brewers.

Bottle. Copper pour with a short tan head. Rich floral and fruity aroma with peaches, tropical fruit and pine blended with caramel and sweet malt. Taste is big peaches, caramel, floral hops, hop resins, tropical fruit and sweet malt. Body is medium-full and slightly chewy with a creamy, bubbly carbonation and a moderate lingering hop bitterness. Ends with more peaches, pine, tropical fruit, floral hops and caramel. Nice!
