The American IPA goes south of the boarder, hooking up with the Brazilian beer makers of Bodebrown, a nutty, chocolaty overlay begins to garnish the IPA of which the Stone brewers are so adept.

Hazy and amber, the look of honey strikes the eye while the nose drifts above its frothy swath of foam, picking up caramel, cashew, white chocolate and toasted starch. And while those caramelized malts lay softly on the tongue, early impressions of honey, biscuit and crust resonate with flavor.

Across the middle palate, the caramel trails and the hops project, bringing about the classic grapefruit, orange peel and piney herbal taste that the IPA prescribes. But with the retracting carbonation, so does the cacao nib- laying something of buttery cashew, pecan, light chocolate and even 'white' coffee, even if ever so delicately on the tastebuds. Yet with the floral whimsy of perfume and mild soap, the finish comes quick as the throat braces for bitterness.

Creamy and moderate on the mouth, the beer's texture is smooth, soft and soothing with bitterness. Its drying sensation highlights the spice of hops and brings out the lemony verbena, sassafras and fresh cut pine character that's both quintessential and perpetual of the American (not just North American) IPA.
