About: I remember my first beer...actually, I don't. It was probably something horrible like a Coors light and I'm glad I've forgotten. My experience with beer has come full circle. Originally I gave up on beer because I thought it was all crappy lagers. One day in 2002, I happened upon a little deli called Hollingshead in Anaheim, CA that just happened to have a vast array of "crazy" beers on tap I had never heard of. I dug the look of the STONE IPA handle and tried it. My life has never been the same since. I was in love with hops, grains, and the amazing beauty of what beer can really be.
I love bold flavors and extremes. Belgiums and homebrewing my own beer.See Authors Posts (76) | Filed under: Beer Reviews
Name: Stone Ruination IPA

Overall Rating: A+++
Style: Imperial IPA
ABV: 7.7%

Appearance:Lighter than you would think. It’s crystal clear, looks like apple juice. Small head.
Aroma: Flora hop heaven. This sucker is a hopheads dream. Near perfection for hoppiness.
Flavor: Similar aroma, it’s all about the hops.
