Crisply fruited amber-hazed medium body brings creamy caramel malting to floral-spiced apple-sliced peach-pineapple-tangerine tang. Wood-hopped alcohol-soaked usurpation counters sweet cereal-grained spine. Perfect as a crossover for pale ale and adjunct lager softies.

Spiffy ‘I Beat yoU’ hop measurement moniker aside, convincing hop-rooted ale counters sharp grapefruit-peeled pine resin bittering with vibrant peach-pear-apple-pineapple tang and syrupy maple-spruce sapping. Floral-spiced mango-papaya tingle increases engaging fruited sweetness to creamy caramel malt center. At a staggering $7 for 12-ounces, it’s still worth the price for taste and buzz.

On tap, crossbred Belgian tripel/ West Coast IPA retains funky farmhouse ale fungi earthiness countering ripened tropical fruiting and creamy caramel malting. Peppery bark-dried lemon-dropped Chinook hop bittering reinforces tangy peach-cherry-nectarine protrusion and teasing floral accents. Pastry-like vanilla wafer sweetness heightens busy backdrop.

On tap, 9.5% alcohol-ridden hophead delight benefits from imperious woody hop dryness countering succinct sweet-spiced floral-citric sensation and chewy bubblegum tease. Sticky rye malts saturate juniper-licked orange-peeled grapefruit rind bittering to acidic alcohol burnt aftertaste.

On tap, resinous pine-needled dry-hopped bitterness seeps into soft-tongued yellow-fruited tartness of medium-bodied India-styled pale ale. Lemon-candied orange-dried souring proves resilient above earthen mineral graining.

On tap, elegant soft-watered Imperial IPA with soothing butterscotch-vanilla creaminess impacting orange-bruised peach-pineapple-mango tropicalia picks up lemon custard, creamed corn, and unspecific herbal illusions. Sweet anise tingle finds space inside somewhat unconventional stylist.

Truly stunning West Coast-Belgium combination overhauls Stone IPA’s California-styled wood-hopped citric tang with Belgian-like candied yeast. Bright grapefruit-pinked pineapple, melon, nectarine, and apricot tropicalia reinforce tangy orange-apple conflux countering resinous pine-hopped bittering. Creamy caramel malting sweetness undercoats subsidiary black-peppered coriander-clove spicing and lingered dark floral reminder.

A lighter pine-embittered fruiting than typical IPA fare comes to the fore. Cascade-hopped oats-flaked fig-dried orange-tangerine tang lost to phenol spicing, earthen fungi, musty peat resin, and diacetyl vegetal snip. Astringent alcohol burn buries green apple tartness and apricot-dried grapefruit bittering below ethanol whir. Serve to exploratory ESB fans.

On tap, well-rounded copper-hazed ‘hop-header’ brings resinous piney hop bittering to caramel-malted apple-jacked peach-tangerine-pineapple tang. Creamy vanilla-maple surge counters oncoming grapefruit-peeled juniper bite to damp earthen-grained bottom, becoming more pungently bitter at floral-daubed fruit-sharpened alcohol-burnt finish. Canned version yields juicier tropical fruiting, stickier candy apple sweetness, and sappier spruce-tipped pine bitterness. Possibly the best canned ale on the East Coast.

Dynamic amber-hazed hop-head delight never lets floral-pined bite put a crimp on honey-fruited chocolate sweetness. Brisk pine-needled orange-peeled bitterness seeps into tangy lemon-sugared apple-ripened pineapple, apricot, and tangerine tropicalia and soft nutty undertone. Brisk mineral-watered mountain-dewed freshness and resinous hop-oiled prickle prompt esteemed West Coast styling.

On tap, raspy wood-smoked pine-needled resin-hopped bittering pungently reinforces front-loaded juicy-fruited glisten. Lusty floral bouquet enhances tart grapefruit peel veneer as well as apple-ripened pineapple, mango, banana, passion fruit, and kiwi tropicalia. Gin-soaked juniper berry harshness and sharp alcohol bite never exceed creamy malt richness, giving this a deeper resonation than most in its highly exalted IPA class.
