    Let me guess, $15.99.
    Bad name , bad package design.

    I still love AB but their IPA‘s seem to have just become a bunch of expensive nothing worth buying.

    Enjoy

    This pretty much hits my problem with Stone on the head. It's all crazy expensive with just as good beer is available at 2/3 the price.

    Another Stone release, another IPA. Another Stone collaboration...another IPA.

    I look at it and continue to ask why do they keep doing the things they do, but I know deep down I will inevitably grab a six pack, likely be disappointed, only because I cut my teeth on Stone coming into my craft days.

    You'd be better off spending that money on something from Wild Leap. :slight_smile:

    LMAOOOO they’re just coming out with a low-cal IPA? For fucks sake, that ship sailed long ago.

    Another lo-cal 4% IPA? They already announced that Neverending Haze is coming back as a year-round. How much of the 4% lo-cal IPA market do they think they're going to capture? Maybe they do have a foothold on it in Southern California, I don't know.

    Yes, Neverending Haze is low abv, but I don’t think they ever claimed it was lo-cal. I had that beer and highly doubt it is anywhere near the low calorie count on this beer. All that being said, there’s no way I’m buying this new beer at usual Stone prices.

    I think it's around 120 calories so not too bad.

    They had Go To IPA prior to that too.

    Like most session/lo-cal IPAs, it was retired quickly with little sentiment. As I expect this beer to be.

    Ah yes that they did and I had forgotten about mentioning that one. But it was around for 5+ years and when they retired it there were people who were upset; it was in many side by sides with Founders All Day.

    It has an 89 "Very Good" rating here. I had it a few times and it was enjoyable for what it was.

    I stand corrected. I honestly did not think it had been around anywhere near that long or was that appreciated. Guess I let my personal bias sneak in there. Appreciate the correction.

    I got an idea just bring back Levitation Ale? While, probably not low cal because it has flavor it hits the mark on hoppy low abv ipa. Kept it amber but just remove amber from the name and it might sale.

    Perfect time to roll out a low-cal/low ABV IPA :wink:

    Their Go To IPA was one of the better low ABV IPAs, not sure what happened to it, not that it matters cause I won't buy Stone beers anymore.
