Awesome tasting,piney with slight floral aroma, and sweet in flavor. All in all very delicious.

I had to submit this one?! C'mon hop heads! Get it while you still can. This is really good DIPA! Very floral, not heavy, fresh and so drinkable. A new favorite!

Seriously intense! Crazy grapefruit - citra hops? Delicious but a bit too kickass to enjoy much of.

2nd batch of a Super limited one time release that made it to nj (9th batch overall) - brewed on 4/12 and drinking 5/7. New idea by stone to drink a super fresh super hopped ipa within 35 days of brewing. Beautiful amber beer with a frothy aromatic head. Lots of piney and citrusy grapefruit aromas. Also dank resin earthy smell. Similar to 9.21.12 Surprisingly light smooth mouthfeel for an imp ipa very refreshing hoppy taste with more citrusy notes. A piney finish as well. like 9.21.12, Another great beer by stone curious to try again in a couple weeks to see if there is a difference. Very drinkable and smooth for a nearly 10% ipa, and seems to be even more hop forward than the 1st batch. Wonder how much it will mellow out near end. 2nd bottle on 5/19 - two days after the 'expiration date' still a super fresh ipa. a little more mellow but Lots of bite out of the bottle citrus piney and resin aroma. It will be missed.

Tons of citrus and fruity hops, with a well balanced malt backbone. Easy drinking for a higher abv Imperial IPA.

5-3-13. Nice strong citrus hops on the nose. Golden color with a white head. Head hangs around quite a long while. Full mouthfeel, not as full as a barley wine but close. C hops up front in the middle and at the end. Balanced with a malty sweetness though. Not too bitter, not to sweet but sweet enough to linger after swallowing.

Decent DIPA, but a little strong. Kind of Barleywine like. 2014 - again, very good, but Barleywine like.
