STONE ///FEAR.MOVIE.LIONS DOUBLE IPA
An unfiltered double IPA worth seeking
STYLEDouble IPAABV8.5%IBUs60
New England-Style IPAs are all the rage. Fans of Stone repeatedly ask for our take on the style, which can be met with some criticism. Rooted in West-Coast style IPAs for decades, how would we do it? Fear no more. Our brewers took the approach to deliver incredibly hoppy and aromatic flavor while keeping it very balanced, and upping the alcohol unnoticeably – nailing this astounding one-of-a-kind creation.
Overall this unfiltered double IPA is juiced up with massive tropical & citrus notes. The mild bitterness and relatively dry body compliment the style, and the residual maltiness nicely rounds it out. Lingering lime peel and tropical fruit derived from the hops stand out on the finish, begging one to seek out more.

TASTING NOTES
FEATURED HOPSLoral & MosaicFLAVOR PROFILEFresh-squeezed fruit juice, strawberry, blueberry, grapes and a hint of white sage.PALATEJuicy and leading to a short, moderately bitter finish.APPEARANCEOpaque, murky gold with a fluffy white head.AROMAA medley of fresh fruit with juicy, fresh hops and a hint of pineapple.OVERALLThis is our take on a hazy East Coast Double IPA. Juicy and smooth with just the right touch of West Coast bitterness in the finish. The aroma on this beer is insane and reminds us of getting fresh fruit from a farm stand on the side of the road. Now, make that a farm stand on the side of the road in Yakima, WA during hop harvest. The aroma of fresh hops envelops!
