Stone Ruination 2.0

Really like this beer. Grabbed a couple singles in Atlanta a month ago and can find it in Jersey for about $12 a six.

 

I think it's an upgrade. I really like it.

 

I enjoyed both brews but I have to say I prefer the original.

 

I used to see bombers for $7.99 but I guess everyone upped the price, haven't seen any sixers yet but I think thats cause they're sold out. The added citrus flavor in 2.0 just made the beer seem generic and too similar to every other new IPA/DIPA on the market, maybe that was the point?? It also seemed a bit boozier than the original but that may just be because I've been drinking pretty much all low ABV stuff recently.

 

Just had it last night. Definitely an improvment. Like it a lot. The Pale Ale 2.0 is a gamechanger, however. Loving that one in a big way

 

Same here, was so pleased to find it inspired by the original. Really reminded me of my first Stone Pale Ale, albeit with a little different flavor profile.

 

i really liked Ruination 2.0 - i think slightly more than the old one.

If nothing else this just reminded me that Stone has an amazing DIPA that is on shelves year round for $5-6 and I shouldnt pass on it just because i have had it before and it isnt as limited as other offerings...well done @StoneBrewingCo !

 

Have you seen the 6 pack price yet?

 

Tried it today and thought it was better than the original. I wasn't a huge fan of the 1.0 though. Still gave 2.0 decent ratings.

 

I found one in the back of my fridge today that was labeled "Best by 7/7/15" and I thought it was better than the rest of the 6 pack I bought and drank most of over a month ago. Anybody else noticing this one developing a more fruity profile as it gets closer to the expiration date? I didn't notice much onion/garlic like some claim (though that doesn't bother me in Enjoy By).

 

I try not put beers against eash other but 2.0 is by far a better beer IMO.
