Medium sized, sturdy off white head that lasts.Thick coating lace. Bright, light copper color, just one inviting looking brew. Grand, spicy hop nose with notes of citrus and pine and a skoche floral too boot. Body is med/full with an oily slickness, maybe a bit too much so? Seems to me a little more carbonation would of made this fine brew even more enjoyable.Lotsa juicy, citrusy hop flavors with a tinge of lightly sweet caramel and biscuity malts. A bit resiny and piney, lil inkyness too. Finish is fairly dry, lil dank with a more tame than expected hop bite. Very quaffable for a 9%er though. Nice fuckin DIPA! Props to my buddy Robert for the bomber! E.B. 2/15/13

Rated Nov. 2012. I think this was the 11-9-12 batch that was poured up on tap at Star Bar (in Denver) with a pure gold body that supports a near white head of foam. The aroma is big yummy earthy dank spicy hops with a bit of sweetness around the edges. Inviting! The taste is similar but the richness and depth put you in a hop induced trance for a few moments as your senses try to interpret what the hell is going on. Man! This is rich dank yummy earthy hoppy goodness with a wonderful mix of flavor and bittering hops. This is hitting the spot dead on. After two pints I only want to consume more as the hop bitterness and big near sticky hop richness are in balance and keeping it fresh and lively the whole time. Wow! I need a pallet of slims of this for my house. I really wish all follow on batches were this good. They're not.

Enjoy by 2.14.16 Gorgeous cloudy orange pour with an off white head. Thick lace. Citrus and pine aroma. Flavor was a little dry and didn't have much hop presence.

Enjoy by 12.26.14 Fresh aroma of pine. Nice light golden colour, not much head but does leave spotty slick lacing. Amazing flavour, tastes fresh but I think that's just Stone playing with my brain. Sweet melon and peach, grass and loads of pine. Medium/full bodied and oily mouthfeel. Good sales gimmick. I'm sure this beer would last but I did as I was told and drank by....Now I can go get more.

I picked this beer up from the Wine Gourmet in Roanoke, VA. This beer was interesting. It says on the bottle to drink by 4.20.2014. If that reference wasn't obvious enough, the neck of the bottle says "DANK." Indeed the beer smells like dank. It is oily and slick, hoppy and bright. Grassy and floral hop notes. A very nice beer.

Bomber from Haggen/Burlington, WA. Enjoy by 02.14.14. Okay, I will and I did (or close to it). Pour of medium clear gold with a creamy white head. Aroma was nothing short of a pine bomb. Love it! Oh yes, some grapefruit notes too, but not obvious. Alcohol for the aroma, flavour, and finish. Flavour also had citrus and pine, so did the finish. Pretty damned good.

Bright yellow sunshine in color with a big frothy textured, white head rising above. There's good hang time on the head and good lacing left behind. The profile is intense hoppiness, floral and piney mostly. Crisp and effervescent. Another in your face beer from Stone.

I think this "Enjoy By" is a marketing gimmick. I had this about a week after the "Expiration Date". Sampled their 17th Anniversary IPA/DIPA the week after which I found slightly better. A semi-clear light yellow/orange appearance with a fair balance of sweetness and bitter. This is still top-notch beer, they just have so many now that they are starting to blend together.
