Stone Brewing Co - Enjoy By (11.12.13)
a 9.4% ABV 85 IBU Imperial IPA The first batch was the gold standard, in my humble, yet clearly correct opinion. Since then, every other one has fallen a bit short in one way or another.. Maybe I'm waiting too long by drinking them on the exact day it says to actually enjoy it by? Bitch please.... that's like 5 weeks after it's bottled. Even unicorn tears don't fade that quickly. Pours the same as every other batch.. finally less onion on the nose!! Pungent, dank hops, piney, thick heavy orange peel.. oozes from the glass. And the taste is finally better too! Closest to batch 1 yet.. cleaner malt profile, less sticky sweet honey and bread.. more hops are able to shine through in a less oppressive resinous fashion. All the flavors are very similiar batch to batch.. just finally less onion-y garlic hops and a much cleaner overall profile. Finally getting close to batch 1!
- - 8 Hops!
