It's good for an IPA.

It's an IPA. Whatever.

Maybe the Jubel killed my palate, but the herbal overtones to this beer were distinctly reminiscent of Korean beef broth with chopped spring onions in it. Does that sound good to you? For a beer? I thought so.

Tastes significantly better than I remember from back in December. Less perfumey, still somewhat light on body and dry, but much more balanced.

This one tasted like it had lemondrop hops in it, with a lot of the lemon pledge quality and oily, tongue-coating hop that was in this year's Chasing Freshies. I've liked this beer in the past, but not this release.

Smooth easy drinking. Fruity in the nose with a hint of bitter hops. Lovely beer to enjoy fresh.

Still solid, still skirting the risky edge of too-much-dankness for me.

Had a sweet-ish character that I didn't remember from before. Somewhat more Pliny-like, I think. Still quite good.

Huge ripe tropical fruit smell. On the palate, again extremely fresh tropical fruit flavors leading to some resin and malty sweetness. Not bitter. Finish is actually a bit sweet. Every release of this is a bit different, make sure to try them!

Fresh. Dank. After a series of heavy beers this was quite nice. I don't know how I would have liked it on its own, but who really cares?

As with the first time, excellent beer. Great fresh hop flavors. Piney/resiny hops , not super citrusy.

I remember liking the 07.04.13 more than this. Still really fresh and floral, but it skirts the line of being too dank and crosses it by the fourth sip or so. Soon after that I felt a little gross just smelling it.

Assertive hopped smell with some malt. Cereal body with some hints of melon, fairly strong lingering bitterness and a little drying puckering effect.

Loved this beer. I love IPAs and the flavors you get in a hoppy beer with good bitterness, and this is great for that. The hops show a great depth and range of flavor and Stone balances it with just the right about of malt to hold of a bad bitter aftertaste instead leaving you with that great fresh hop flavor.

Fresh smelling and fresh tasting. Bitterness don't linger too long which is great.

Nice nutty hop bite and a dry malty finish.

Strong grapefruit & floral fragrance with a fresh and clean taste. A little too bitter to be perfect for me.
