You have in your hands a devastatingly fresh double IPA. While freshness is a key component of many beers - especially big, citrusy, floral IPAs - we've taken it further, a lot further, in this IPA. You see, we specifically brewed it NOT to last. We've not only gone to extensive lengths to ensure that you're getting this beer in your hands within an extraordinarily short window, we made sure that the Enjoy By date isn't randomly etched in tiny text somewhere on the label, to be overlooked by all but the most attentive of retailers and consumers. Instead, we've sent a clear message with the name of the beer itself that there is no better time than right now to enjoy this IPA.

@Black Star Co-op Pub & Brewery. Pale gold, small white head. Nose =hops ;not much more to say. Bitter on the tongue. Middle is burnt pine cones laying on a bed of malt. The finish is all hops, but now you will also notice a considerable warm alcohol feel. Tricky. try it if you can.|12/8/2012

Earlier Rating: 11/9/2018 Total Score: 4.3 I Love IIPA's, and this is a good one. Found a 22oz bottle at Costco and had it last night, I know it says 10-31-18 to enjoy by, but double IPA's age well. Nice malt flavor and wonderful hop taste, not to strong, but lingers a little. Does not taste like 9.4 ABV beer, maybe more like a 7 ABV.

12oz can. This one is labeled 'Enjoy By 10.31.23', with the bottom date stamp being 'PACKAGED RV 08/28/23'. Black can with yellow highlights.
Cloudy, pale gold colored body. One finger of white head which retreats quickly to a few islands and a ring. Leaves behind thicker webs of lacing.
Aroma of pine resin and orange/grapefruit/pineapple hops.
Taste is juicy and bright. Flavors of orange marmalade, some grapefruit, and pineapple. Good amount of pine resin but the bitterness is balanced with the juicy sweetness.
Thicker than medium mouth feel. Coats the mouth and tongue. Good carbonation.
Well balanced and tasty. Higher ABV% is well hidden.

Stone Enjoy by 4-20-22 Hazy IPA 9%. Smell is a bit dank & tropical with a little alcohol. I can taste a hint of alcohol followed by the tropical sweetness and nice hop flavor on the back end that lingers. This is another winner by Stone Brewing.
