Details

Stone IPA is a golden beauty that explodes with citrusy, piney hop flavors and aromas, all perfectly balanced by a subtle malt character. This crisp, extra hoppy brew is hugely refreshing on a hot day, but will always deliver no matter when you choose to drink it.

Brewery Info

Stone is, without any doubt, one of the world’s greatest breweries. Right from their beginnings in San Diego in 1996, founders Greg Koch and Steve Wagner have grabbed the trademark gargoyle by the horns with massive beers such as Ruination and Arrogant Bastard, as well as the highly-hopped and highly drinkable IPAs. This is a brewery that is creative, innovative and very passionate. There is no compromise on quality.

In 2014, Stone made the audacious decision to open a brewery and bistro in Berlin after looking at 130 sites in nine countries. Now fully open, Stone Brewing World Bistro & Gardens is set in a former gasworks. As well as a restaurant, bar and shop, this brewery now supplies even fresher beer across Europe. Our co-founders were lucky enough to get a sneak-peak of the facility, and we're among the first to sell Stone Berlin beers.

This was my introduction to stone brewery and what a good one it was. Solid IPA flavours with a nice strength to back it up.

Another very good Stone IPA, with well balanced hops - higher abv than the session ale and it works very well.

Dependable IPA

Bitter resinous & grassy IPA with some soapiness and floral notes, not sure if this is better than the US brewed but would have to do a side-by-side tasting, can't be far off though.

Sensational

With Stone becoming a brand you can now pick up at the supermarket I've given this beer a miss for a while... A mistake.

Having drank much of the Cali stuff while over there I can attest that even in a can, even from Berlin this stuff is tasty and deserves a purchase.

Hoppy, tasty, pours beautifully smooth with just a light amount of fruit this is a great beer.

A thing of legend... unfortunately

A beer with a cult reputation that was going to be hard to live up to. It's a great example of the style, with a real resinous, piney character. But I didn't fall in love with it.

I had read a lot about this beer before trying so was eager to taste - it did not disappoint very refreshing and could easily drink more than just the one I had!

Review by Matt 12/04/2017

I'v had stone IPA numerous times and when fresh it's a great beer. But the can I had was packaged in November, and it's now April. 5 month IPA doesn't really taste that great.

It was still "in date" but the German brewed stone beers have a much longer date added to them than the US ones.

Yummy

Loved this one. Had it the same evening as the Sierra Nevada Hop-Hunter, and this was noticeably more refreshing to drink. The SN was memorable, but this was actually enjoyable.

Review by Slycockney 18/01/2017

This is without doubt one of the best beers I have tasted in a long while. There is a trend these days to throw as many hops into an IPA as possible, this has not happened here. There are of course a generous helping of hops included but not to an extent that they are overpowering, coupled with the citrus overtones giving a refreshing balance it really is a great beer. You can safely say that I will be ordering more!

Excellent IPA

Review by simontomlinson 24/10/2016

Off white rocky head sat on a translucent golden, still body.
Sweet citrus & mango aroma.
Full bodied mouth feel, smooth with a sharp kick on the back.
Reasonably sweet to the fore with mango & citrus followed very quickly by a bitter blast of grapefruit, pith, lemon & tropical fruits.

Simular to PUNK IPA

Review by wgardner 21/10/2016

First thing I thought when I opened this that it smelt like Punk IPA, and well, it tastes a little like it also.

A nice 'clean' tasting IPA, and quite bitter too.

Great

Review by &Y 01/10/2016

Very well hopped, great clarity and lovey overly bitter taste. Definitely a staple tipple. Bonus of being canned also, so can chill easy the fridge before drinking. Highly recommended.
