Pretty sure I've already done a review like this.. but seriously.. fuck your rules. I'll drink my beer how I damn well please and when I damn well please.
Stone - Enjoy By 5.17.13 IPA
a 9.4% ABV Double IPA. This is another in the Enjoy By series that Stone has been cranking out for the last 7 months or so. The first one was fucking fantastic. The next that MA had access to.. not so much. How will this be? Oh.. and this is almost 6 weeks past the drink by date.. fuck off, suggestions (this review is a combination of drinking fresh and drinking old) Same as last two pours - slightly hazy golden yellow with a decent, pure white head. Just like all the others, the hops jump from the bottle, to the glass, to your nose. Unlike the 2nd batch to hit MA (4.1.13 I believe) this has much more aromatic hops.. but if the 12.21.13 was a 10, this is a 9, compared to the 4.1's 7 rating. There's pine, grass, grapefruit, mango, that weird onion/garlic note.. super resinous, super dank.. definite dank aromas here if ya catch my drift. On first sip.. it's sharp, harsh, utterly bitter. There's some smooth honey malts with light pilsner malts.. barely any at all in this beer. Terrific hops.. bitter, floral, piney, tropical.. this has it all. Same idea as the aroma - the first release was epic as all hell and this is just a notch beneath that beer. It's tough to describe just a potent brew, except to say that it's a Fuck-You-Seven-Ways-To-Sunday pure hop beast. (yes, even past it's date)
DAMN
- - 9 Hops!
