Stone Brewing in Escondido, CA is known for pushing the boundaries and they have a great product line-up. I have tried a number of beers from Stone and purchased a 6er of IPA. Stone IPA has an ABV of 6.9% with an IBU of 77. This one pours a gold / light orange and has a nice head. There is a nice hop aroma and bitterness in the taste. The hops are from the NW and this has a nice citrus aroma and grapefruit taste. Stone describes their IPA as “An "India Pale Ale" by definition is highly hopped and high in alcohol - you'll find our Stone India Pale Ale to be true to style with a huge hop aroma, flavor and bitterness throughout. If you're a hop-head like us, then you'll love our Stone India Pale Ale! Medium malt character with a heavy dose of over the top hops! Generous "dry hopping" gives this beer its abundant hop aroma and crisp hop flavor.” There are a number of good craft brewers and there are a few great ones. Stone is one of the great ones. The next time I am in San Diego, I will stop by the Stone Bistro to sample the excellent beer and the wonderful food. I have liked everything from Stone that I have sampled.
