Enjoy By 2/14/15 - something seriously wrong

It's not as good last month's guys, Stone is starting to slip.

 

That stinks- sorry for your luck- haven't popped a bottle yet but every keg here in Bowling Green,KY turned out delicious. Even better than previous batches IMO (and my friend's opinions) But I have been drinking Hi-Res anyway! haha. You should definitely contact the brewery. My untappd friends have been popping the bottles and giving alright reviews.

 

agreed that this was the best batch. The head brewer himself said they had to sub some different hops. I still love the beer but its true. Love this beer and will continue to buy

 

Had a bottle of 02/14/15 last night, enjoyed it immensely .

Got another in the fridge for next weekend, lookin' forward to it.

I'd say you got a bad bottle.

 

I crushed it as usual last night. Sounds like a bad batch.

 

This batch was fantastic!

 

I had one today. actually i typically buy the first day is lands on the shelf.. I drink ASAP. I drank one today after about a week and a half on the shelf.. Still awesome. The nose kind of faded. But the taste was still spot on. Cheers

 

I thought it was the best one I've had.

 

I concur with others that this is one of the best batches to date.

 

I had one today one of the best DIPAs I have ever had.

 

If it was skunky that's due to poor storage once the bottle was brought out of the case. That would be an issue with where you bought it from or where you stored it once you brought it home, not Stone's fault.

 

Just had a bottle with a nice salmon fillet. Both were delicious.

 

I had it on draft and thought it was better than the 12/26 but the past 3-4 releases havent been very good. Really lacking the Nelson in the dry hop

 

Something is going on with Enjoy By. I, and many others swear that every batch tastes somewhat different... some terrible and others brilliant... the brew master has apparently stated that hops change based on availability yet Greg has posted on this site claiming that the recipe has always been the same since some minor tweak at one point in 2013.

I'm always cautious when I buy Enjoy By because I've had bottles that just turned my stomach. I thought it was just them changing the recipe to accommodate availability of various hops and such. But if Greg swears the recipe is the same why does this beer make me want to barf sometimes and other times taste like pure genius.

Maybe they have a sanitation issue they don't know about? I don't think that's very likely but what else could it be?

 

I used to think that. It was in a brown bottle. It was reasonably fresh. I bought it off the bottom of a vertical display in a place with fairly dim light. Stored it for a week in a dark, cool closet and then put it in a refrigerator. Gussie Busch used to be a maniac about the quality of his beer and would check his distributors and retailers for bad, out of date or improperly handled beer. Sierra Nevada has a pretty good handle on quality control as well. It is about time craft brewers started getting onboard regarding quality with the same intensity exhibited by the evil Busch.

 

Have had 2 them and have 2 more, have been great so far. Maybe a little less pow than the last few releases but killer as always......

 

It was never that good.

 

Maybe it's the onions people keep on talking about.

 

Roll your eyes all you want, but 12/26 had a horrible onion smell and taste in both bottle and keg form.

 

Had it on tap twice this week at 2 different bars and it was great both times.
