We’ve made a hell of a lot of beers since 1996. Probably thousands at this point. Some stick around for decades, somefor a few years and some are brief visits, gracing us with their hoppy presence for a short time before becoming fond memories. Occasionally stars, planets and brewing schedules align and we bring back one of these ephemeral creations. In fall of 2014 we created a draft-only version of this delicious double India pale ale. Its bitter, zesty grapefruit peel infusion created a bright accent to flavors of pine resin and fresh citrus well in advance of the explosionof fruited beers we’re all reveling in atthe moment. We never stopped thinking about it, so a long five years later, we’re bringing back Stone Grapefruit Slam IPA for round two. It’s a link to the past planted delightfully in the present.

Rated Feb. 2014. 22oz bomber pours with a crystal clear gold body that supports a nice looking firm light tan head of foam. The aroma offers up a quick whiff of black pepper and then it gets into lightly malt sweetened grapefruit and then some slivers of spicy dank hops mixed with floral hops. Ok, nice. The taste begins with a pleasing rush of hoppiness with grapefruit, a bit of mild spicy black pepper and then malt sweetened tangelo and tangerine citrus hoppiness. To midway a thin river of onion like spicy dankness and floral hops join in and help take this tasty cohesive mix of flavors into the finish. Lots of hop like flavor and bitterness creating a refreshing balance. Dig it.
