A Liquid Poem to the Glory of the Hop
First Release: April 2015

Stone Ruination IPA was the first full-time brewed and bottled West Coast double IPA on the planet. As craft beer has evolved over the years, so too have techniques for maximizing hop flavors and aromas. For the second incarnation of our groundbreaking India pale ale, we employed dry hopping and hop bursting to squeeze every last drop of piney, citrusy, tropical essence from the hops that give this beer its incredible character. We’ve also updated the name to Stone Ruination Double IPA 2.0 to reflect the imperial-level intensity that’s evident in every sip. Join us in cheering this, the second stanza in our “Liquid Poem to the Glory of the Hop.”

I love hops and this is a treat. A little hard to find, but worth the search.

look: 4 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.5
LOOK: Semi-opaque, golden honey. 1 finger of quickly disappearing coarse head and moderate lacing.
SMELL: Lemon, Orange, Caramel, super floral but not as loud as something like Lagunitas Super Cluster
TASTE: Orange, Caramel, and Hops on the finish.
FEEL: Delightfully carbonated and surprisingly light.
OVERALL: Really great without being too heavy to be a mood beer. This is good for pretty much any time.

Pours a hazy gold. Thin foam. Hoppy aroma. Big bitter hop body. Light citrus flavors. Very hop forward. Bitterness persists. Has an old school IPA feel. Typical stone offering. Very good.

Light amber with a 1" cream colored head, which lasts. Moderate lacing. Slight haze.

Aroma is floral, grapefruit, pine, caramel.

Taste follows nose: Grapefruit, pine, caramel. Resinous.

Medium body, moderate carbonation. Dry, resinous finish.

Another outstanding beer from Stone. Good across the board.
