Stone to release Go To IPA (Session IPA)

$10.99 in MA got a 6 yesterday.

Daytime is $9.99
12 pack of Founders is $17.99- not sure if the 15 pack will change

With Easy Jack coming out, there are at least a few different Breweries making session IPAs so I don't totally overdue All Day like I did last summer.

 

Nine different hop varieties: Mosaic, Citra, Ahtanum, Cascade, Crystal, 06300 El Dorado, Magnum and Sterling.

Crazy....

 

I think they scrapped Easy Jack , it's not on their 2014 release schedule.

 

Really? That's disappointing. Union Jack is one of my regulars, so I was interested to try Easy Jack.

 

Tried this one recently and it was great, and really affordable. At the bevmo near me its cheaper to get a 6 pack of pints of this than to get the stone Go to ipa (which i haven't tried yet) though it is 9.99 vs 10.29 or something like that

 

I may be wrong, but i think Easy Jack is going to be their summer seasonal on that calendar. I hope they do still come out with it, Firestone really puts out an awesome product.

 

Few reps are going to be in town tonight at a local place doing a tap takeover kickoff party. I will ask them more about it.

 

Just now imbibing my first GoTo IPA. Mildly disappointed. Overall not bad (for 4.5%). A little better than my prior favorite session, Victory Headwaters, but nowhere near as flavorful as Founders All Day. Had my hopes up for this one as I'm a huge Stone fan (Ruination!!!), same as I was when I heard Lagunitas was releasing DayTime. That one, though, was terribly disappointing.

 

This beer had an astringent, dry finish to me. It wasn't refreshing and didnt leave me wanting more. Can't see myself wanting to session this beer. Ill see if the rest of the six pack changes my mind, but if Stone can't sell me on session IPAs, then I'm sure no one can. Ill just get Stone Pale Ale next time I'm looking for a lighter Stone hop fix.

 

Interesting...I haven't tried it yet but I've always thought it a fine line between a really tasty session beer that you can basically slam over and over again and at the same time not have it **** your taste buds...

I want the drink ability of a BMC but the flavor of a SN, Founders or Stone...good luck with that combo...IMHO

 

That's kind of exactly how I felt. Wife grabbed me a sixer yesterday ($10.99), and I had a few last night. Not bad but not anything I feel compelled to tell others to get. Like someone mentioned earlier, the mouthfeel and taste kind of vanish right after you swallow. Decent, but at 11 bones a sixer, probably not so much.

 

Just had my first. I think it's fucking great. That's all.

 

Major dissapointment. Especially after working through a sixer of the wonderful (and sadly soon to AB-InBev) Blue Point Mosiac Session IPA.

 

Won't buy because of the name, complete dick move to name it "go to IPA". I hope another brewery releases an IPA with the same name. I've also never had a "session" beer I liked.

 

Very underwhelming.

 

Very impressed with this one.

 

Saw some today for 11.99...stone IPA was 10.99...not sure i want to pay more for a session but I will at least once for sure...

 

Yeah I don't get the pricing on this one. 11.99 a sixer, even at my places that sell as low as possible. I liked the six pack I had but wont be buying anymore this summer for that price.

 

Stone Go to IPA
So much for there stance against fizzy yellow sissy beers
The Enjoy by IPA is the way
to go

 

Bought a sixer of this the other day and split it with someone. Opened it and it had a great smell. Was excited for the first few sips, then bored. Session IPAs might not be for me...
