    Awesome IPA...would be cool if they would do this in 4 packs and at least lower the price per ounce...but I can't complain. My local bar always has a slim of the latest batch on draft, every time.

    11 different hop varieties? What's the point?

    Because it tastes really good. I don't get it either, but the results are good so I don't say anything.

    To create the flavor of Enjoy By :wink: Similarly, Pliny uses ~7 different hops, DC Brau's OTWOA uses the "Falconer's Flight" blend of 7 different hops.

    4/20 was great. I never found 5/16 in Nor-Cal. Anxious to try every new variety!

    On the multi hop topic.... Rogue 7-Hop IPA is really good. :slight_smile:

    The hop bill varies by batch then, right? The nelson/galaxy dry-hop always dominates the aroma for me.

    I love stone but these enjoy by dates are annoying. just call it Enjoy and that's it.

    for anyone and everyone who either hates or is irritated by this beer, don't buy it! save it for those of us that love having a guaranteed super fresh west coast DIPA. especially here on the east coast.

    Agreed - I just don't like this beer. Focus on giving me fresh Ruination and I would be happy.

    Looks like they will be released on Friday May 30th. That's the next "Special Release" Growler fill date, and it's 35 days before the Enjoy By date.

    Pliny uses simcoe, centennial and Columbus. Falconers flight is a blend of a few, whereas falconers flight 7c's is a blend of 7.

    Not taking away from enjoy by at all, just surprised by all the different hops.

    Cue the Dos XX guy: I rarely buy bombers of beer, but when I do, It's a Stone Enjoy By.

    But seriously, it's a solid brew, people. I'm looking forward to scoring a bottle; I thought 4/20 was danktastic.
