From the brewer
Our latest anniversary beer, starring an all-German cast of malt and hops, is yet one more glorious example of a Stone IPA brewed outside the box. Our brewers have brought their experiments with German hops to fruition, leaving convention behind to create this hefty IPA entirely with pilsner malts. These provide a superbly crisp mouthfeel, while a unique mix of noble and new-school hop varieties adds layers of bright, bitter flavors. Despite the daunting name, this beer isn't designed to bring about the end of the world, but it just might destroy some of your preconceived notions of what an IPA can be.

Pine-sweet smell. Acidic front-edge, body disappears with trace remnants of bitterness to remind you of it.
Stone's normal huge IPA character, but mixed with a strange bubblegummy candy quality and ... something? Cucumber rind, or maybe bell pepper? It was different, for sure, but I'm not sure that made it good.
Smell of brighter hops. Tastes like a cereal IPA, mild bitter finish, somewhat champagne like. Cereal tastes different than other IPAs which is good.
