New England-Style IPAs are all the rage. Fans of Stone repeatedly ask for our take on the style, which can be met with some criticism. Rooted in West-Coast style IPAs for decades, how would we do it? Fear no more. Our brewers took the approach to deliver incredibly hoppy and aromatic flavor while keeping it very balanced, and upping the alcohol unnoticeably – nailing this astounding one-of-a-kind creation. 8.5% ABVOverall this unfiltered double IPA is juiced up with massive tropical & citrus notes. The mild bitterness and relatively dry body compliment the style, and the residual maltiness nicely rounds it out. Lingering lime peel and tropical fruit derived from the hops stand out on the finish, begging one to seek out more.What 3 words pinpoint where this beast was born? The location is printed on the can.TASTING NOTESAPPEARANCE Opaque, murky gold with a fluffy white head.AROMA A medley of fresh fruit with juicy, fresh hops and a hint of pineapple.TASTE Fresh-squeezed fruit juice, strawberry, blueberry, grapes and a hint of white sage.PALATE Juicy and leading to a short, moderately bitter finish.OVERALL This is our take on a hazy East Coast Double IPA. Juicy and smooth with just the right touch of West Coast bitterness in the finish. The aroma on this beer is insane and reminds us of getting fresh fruit from a farm stand on the side of the road. Now, make that a farm stand on the side of the road in Yakima, WA during hop harvest. The aroma of fresh hops envelops!PAIRING NOTESSTARTERS Olive Oil Hummus, BBQ Pulled Pork Filo Dough Spring Roll, Tempeh-Stuffed Red Bell Pepper, Prosciutto Wrapped Melon BallsSOUPS AND SALADS Organic Mixed Greens, Cucumber Salad, Gazpacho, Lobster Bisque.MAIN COURSES Stones Impossible Burger, Asada Steak and Potatoes, Hawaiian Style Fried Rice, Pad ThaiDESSERTS Strawberry Parfait, Bread Pudding, Salted Caramel Sundae, Strawberry Shortcake
