Our favorite buds are the green ones. You know, the ones that smell citrusy, floral and dank? We didn't have to say their name, but you're picturing them right now.

Headlining this gathering of green buds are Anchovy and Citra hops, harmonizing with vibrant riffs of citrus, golden apple, apricot and melon.

Bright, juicy, and endlessly drinkable, this fresh remix is a party in a can, and all our best buds are invited.

We’re almost there, man. We’re almost there. Like that one time when you were moments away from hitting a grand slam with the pool man’s daughter, only to have her mama come home, we are almost there. See, this beer proudly and bombastically hits on what it is to be a classic West Coast IPA. And as I think about it, pool girl had classic beauty too… Raul, get back to the beer. Oh yeah, a real West Coast IPA… dank, pine, resin, bitterness… No tropical zestiness, no cryo hops… Just a sack of California kush in a can. And yes, right here, Stone is very close to that. But overall, it’s just a bit light. The aroma is there like Karl Malden taking a sniff. But taste wise it’s not as robust as the Raul man would like. Still, cheers, Stone. Cheers for the glorious effort.
