Stone Enjoy By Unfiltered

Another week and still no Enjoy By 2/14/16 in SF. What is going on with the distribution in SF? I never even saw Founders Project Pam in the city. Matagrano and Morris have really been dropping the ball as of late.

 

I found it in the South Bay. But haven't seen it at my usual East Bay places.

 

Hopefully tomorrow, I did see Ballast Point Big Eye Ginger, Mango Even Keel, and Pineapple Sculpin have arrived.

 

It's not showing up at any bottle shops in the North Bay either. My pal at a store says Morris skipped it after not so hot sales of the last few e-b iterations.

 

Not smart Morris, not smart.

 

Draft pour was markedly hazier than the bottle to the point where it almost resembled the infamous Northeastern IPAs. Taste was also much different than the bottle and reminded me of fresh Shuttle Bunny or Dirty Hippie which I'm guessing are also unfiltered?

 

I just had a Shuttle Bunny tonight. The Enjoy By I had from the bottle doesn't come close.

 

Agreed. The bottle tasted very similar to the standard Enjoy By. If someone gave me the draft pour without telling me what it was, I would never guess it was the same beer.

 

To me the greatest impact was on the nose, with a mild softening of the taste profile (but it still tasted like previous batches of EB) but it still has that bitter finish. I can see some comparison to SB, but not sure how this beer translates to DH. But, everyone's palates are unique. Cheers

 

I'm always a little partial to Enjoy By because it was the first IPA I ever truly loved. But I was starting to get a little bored with it since they were doing more released. But I finally bit the bullet and tried this on the other day- holy crap! So good!

The Stone stores has the Enjoy By with Tangerine for a while too- not sure when they're bringing that out again but that was also fantastic. But the Unfiltered really brought it up a notch for sure.
