Tour de IPA: Stone IPA

Stone IPA 6.9%

Citrus grapefruit, pine aroma. Delicate fruity finish. Tart aftertaste at the back of the tongue. Kyle wanted a little more fullness in the malt character, Ryan thought it was a nice balance and is a great hoppy west coast IPA.

Kyle: 7

Ryan: 9

Dad: 8

Stone India Pale Ale

I had heard many good things about the Stone Brewing Company's IPA but had never taken the opportunity to try one until this past weekend. I'm a sucker for a great IPA and this one does not disappoint, in fact it's quite amazing. Incredibly flavorful with the prefect amount of bitterness. Smooth going down but still very rich. Each gulp was better than the last, and i was quite disappointed when the final sip had come and gone. Probably not recommended for your average beer drinker, but if you enjoy IPAs this one should not be overlooked next time you're at the package store.

This really should get a 10 but because its my first review i'll give it a...............
