Stone/Baird/Ishii Green Tea IPA is back!

I didn't get to try it three years ago, but I will definitely try it this coming year. Interested in how this'll taste.

 

I'm more interested in what else is in store.

 

ewwww
Where's Dayman?

 

Was the ABV that high the first time? Doesn't seem like it was.

I don't think the IBUs were that high, either.

 

Loved this beer. Green tea aspects were nice and subtle.

 

I will definitely pick up a few of these.

 

I don't always drink green tea, but when I do, I drink it from inside of a beer.

 

Greg, please bring back the Espresso IRS while you're at it.

 

Milwaukee Brewing Company makes a wit beer with Rishi Tea that is pretty good (O-gii I think it is called).

 

I was surprised how much I like that.
If they are starting to bring back some one offs I DEMAND they bring back the 15th anniversary Black IPA.

 

I'll second that. And add… please make the Espresso IRS a permanent fixture in Stone's lineup. Forever and ever.

 

I thought the previous version was a little too strong with the tea flavors, but not surprising cause it's Stone. I thought it was interesting and different.

 

Green Tree IPA.I know I should try it before I knock it, but this sounds a bit to funky for me

 

THIS!!! RAWRR!!!!!

 

I'll second it.

 

Unfortunately, you know if they do Dayman, it will probably be limited.

 

Hop characteristics and green tea sounds like a decent pairing, I will try it out. I find that herbal notes (which I think green tea qualifies as) tend to go nicely with IPAs, just like citrus notes do.

 

Thanks for the post! I missed it the first time, I don't want to miss it this time. How the green tea flavor can come through everything else has me curious.
