Since Day One, we've been abundantly forthright and fully transparent about our lust for hops. It's led us to craft many an IPA, most of them imperial—some intense for their time and all timeless in their intensity. For Stone Go To IPA, we are embracing our hop obsession in a new way, funneling an abundance of lupulin-borne bitterness into a "session" IPA delivering all the fruity, piney character of a much bigger IPA. To accomplish this, we employed "hop bursting," a new technique wherein an irrational amount of hops is added during the final phase of the brewing process to coax out extreme flavors and aromas while also imparting a burst of desirably pleasant bitterness. The result is an Alpha-acid-rich beer that fans can enjoy more of without missing out on the assertive hop character you, like us, crave. So, sit back and go two with your new everyday go-to IPA and bask along with us in the glory of the almighty hop.

355ml bottle into shaker. Mild citric hop nose. Hazy yellow beer with thin white clingy head. Laces well. Light body, nothing seems to be happening then....a long earthy bitter lemon finish kicks in. There’s late grain and pepper too. Really easy drinking (I’ve finished it already) yet complex as well. A bit too light in body to be great but really good.

12oz bottle picked up at The Grapevine
Pours cloudy orange with a medium size white head, good lacing. When I popped the cap off you could smell dank hops. In the glass it smells great, hops, tropical fruit and citrus. Flavors are fruity, citrus, pine resin and herbal
This would be my Go to IPA if I could get it regularly, very good.Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 8
On tap at Tilt, Oslo. Slightly hazy golden to orange with a white head. Hoppy aroma with citrus, tropical fruits and some mild malty and herbal notes. Moderate sweet with nice fruity and hoppy flavours and a bitter and citrusy finish. Tasty and sessionable, a bit thin, but nice and refreshing. Wouldn’t mind having this in the stores here.

Medium sized, white head with fair retention and decent lacing. Clear, pale gold colored brew. Nose of oranges, some dankyness, earth. Body is light with a nice carbonation, lightly juicy with a bit much of an aspirin,y feel. Dry, pale malts dropped under a brisk citrus haze, lil toast and fruit, citrus and light berries. Dry finish, crisp and biting. Decent. rerate 4.3.15 This has been my Go To beer fro a while now. The hop aromas and flavors are amazing!

Bottle: Poured a hazy yellow with a fluffy to frothy off white head. Aroma is huge citrus and pine hops, very fresh. Taste is strong fruit juicy hops, very subtle and not overly harsh, great summer refreshing beer.

Rated March 2014. Growler pours with a deep gold body that supports a white head. The aroma is nice and juicy with orange and tangerine mixed with lesser amounts of spicy hop onion like dankness and a sliver of lime. Nice indeed. The taste begins with a pleasing mix of hop flavor and hop bitterness coming from juicy and bitter tangerine, clementine and orange citrus hoppiness. Behind all of the citrus notes are thin layers of malts and spicy slightly onion like dank hoppiness. Solid brew where the body has plenty of heft to hold it together. Yum.

A yellow color with a white head. Aroma contains some pine and citrus. The flavor is hoppy with some oranges and lemons. Not much malt in this and a dry finish. Overall a good session IPA.

Pours a slight hazy golden colour with a frothy warm cap, huge, very long lasting with beautiful foamy lacing. Big aromas of citrus, like squeezing the hell out of grapefruit, orange peel and mixing a little of their juices. Same great taste, a slight milder, but with real bite in the end with the dryness. Wow! This is quite the session IPA. One of the best I've tried. Wish we could get these year round at the LCBO.

Clear yellow, white lacing foam head. Strong hoppy aroma and strong bitter taste. Long aftertaste. Great beer. Do not quite understand about these 2 Stone breweries though. (Galveston 201605)

Comes out of tap golden yellow with a nice creamy ivory head. Aroma is strongly hoppy and evergreen, like fresh-cut pine wood. Flavor is SERIOUSLY hoppy, like drinking a liquid pine tree, very evergreen but not too bitter, with fruity hints. Texture is fairly firm and fizzy, leaving a strong and lasting evergreen finish. A serious IPA for serious IPA fans!
