    WHITE ASTEROID #IPA: An imperial wheat IPA brewed with coriander, sweet orange peel and chamomile, hopped with Sterling and Motueka hops. Collaboratively brewed with us at Ecliptic Brewing in Portland, Oregon.#craftbeer

    Sounds more like a DFH beer, but interesting nonetheless.

    Motueka sounds like a good combination with the spices. Could be good.

    It's Stone and a hopped up beer.. It'll be solid, if not delicious! Nice timing for the release!

    That said, +1:

    Not a big fan of coriander or wheat beers really. But it is Stone and an IPA, so if it's priced right I might just have to give it a shot. Plus i'm curious about motueka hops.

    Want. So. Hard.

    Provided it's a good collaboration, which I guess can be hit and miss.

    Full distro? Couldn't find any info on the Facebook page when I checked.

    Yeah I would assume full distro just like their previous collabs. I wouldn't expect it for another week or 2 considering the picture they have is them literally brewing it today.

    Stone is releasing a new beer, and it's an IPA? Well that's the most shocking news I've heard all day!

    Stone is releasing a new beer and someone is being snarky about it because it's a style they're extremely good at brewing? Well that's the most shocking news I've heard all day!

    I'll probably grab a bottle of this if I see it on the shelf. Whole lot of flavors in that list that I enjoy, and Stone's got a good track record with me.

    I know right? I don't get it. No one bitches about Three Floyds making tons of APAs and IPAs. Oh well. When was the last time Three Floyds released a new beer that wasn't hoppy?

    Judging by the fact that it says "brewed at Ecliptic Brewing" and the picture shows two guys manually dumping grain into a mill... This beer will not be distributed nationally unless they decide to scale it up and brew it at Stone.

    Stone brews a new beer I don't care about every two weeks. I guess I'll be excited for you guys who actually want it, but I'm passing, as per the usual. Let me know if it's worth anything.

    I believe Boulevard has a white IPA, called Reboot.

    A cliche complaint about breweries making more IPAs??? Now, that is really riveting . . .
