Stone - Enjoy By 07.04.14

Seriously? That's the appeal of this IPA for me.

 

420 was really good. I will definitely have to get one of these to drink on the fourth. 'Merica!

 

Part of me wishes though that they would change up the color scheme on the label just this once. Make it Red White and Blue.

 

that would have kicked ass.

Just out of curiosity what does it annoy you?

 

I don't really like this beer...I guess Ill try one more time...is it just me? Cat piss in a bottle?

 

Exactly. Most DIPA's from the west coast don't make it to Alabama fresh at all, but Enjoy By is always really good when it gets here.

edit: words

 

It's just you.

 

To easy...that's what we call a softball in the biz

and yes...I love hoppy beers, probably my favorite style next to DIPAs...there is an off flavor that I don't find appealing...maybe...dank...

dank
daNGk/
adjective

1. disagreeably damp, musty

 

Yeah maybe. I hear a lot of people say they get onion, I'm not one of them either. Everyone is different.

 

I get a lot of garlic with Enjoy By -- but I've come to expect it, so I'm a fan.

When I get that on a one-off can and I haven't before, then I'm a bit confused (especially when the rest of the 4-pack doesn't have that garlic tone at all).

 

No. The following passage is from the Stone blog when they first introduced Enjoy By back in Fall 2012:

"Hops bill: Calypso during the mash; Super Galena hop extract for bittering; Simcoe, Delta, Target, and Amarillo for flavor; Motueka, Citra, and Cascade for aroma; Nelson Sauvin and Galaxy for dry hopping"

The hops bill--and every other part of this beer's recipe--is the same for every batch. It is the same beer. A very, very good beer, but the same beer each time it comes out.

Well, that depends on how you mean. Stone gave the hops bill on their blog post (see above) when they first introduced Enjoy By back in Fall 2012, so yes, the hops bill has always been known. But no, they don't re-list it for every release of Enjoy By. Case in point, if you go to the Stone website page for 7.04.14, there is no mention of the hops bill. I imagine BeerPulse just pulled the list of hops from the original post.

 

crap, I wish it was Enjoy by or On 07.04.14

 

Does seem like an overly complicated over kill, but the results work.

 

Im waiting.. time is ticking Stone...

 

I'm under the impression that the recipe is exactly the same batch to batch. Enjoy by is Enjoy by

 

Why keep trying it? You know what you like. I think it tastes great. To each his own.

10 bucks for a 22 is a lot of money to pay for something that in all likelihood will provide a similar displeasurable experience as last time you tried. What's the definition of insanity...?

 

Where are you finding Enjoy By in a can?
