      Seeing Stone brewery on the side of a bottle always makes me curl a little bit more. This is our first time getting the IPA instead of a Ruination. The pour really was murkier then most and gave it a unfiltered look to it. The head of the beer was fluffy but disappeared fast. The scent off the glass was that of grapefruit and floral tones. Stone balanced this one really really well. The malts are a nice slight sweetness that set the stage for the hops. Citrus, floral, earthy tones come through strong and make this a nice IPA. Unlike the Ruination though this one doesn't sit and echo hops for days. Fairly easy drinking IPA that tantalized the follicles. 
      Another gargoyle on a bottle and you know that means quality. Stone seems to have the right mix of malt and a whole lot of hop to everyone of their beers. Yet when you taste Ruination compared to this IPA they both stand alone as really good beers. I've found you can't go wrong when choosing Stone!
