About this beer
This is the 6th of 12 labels we have from Stone Brewing. It is one of 215 double / imperial ipa labels approved in October 2019. Its label was approved 15 days after it was submitted. The label names 2 hops — Ella and Citra, and carries hazy on the front. The label carries the Brewers Association independent seal.
From the label“A HOPPY COSMIC NEBULA In the spirit of all the exploratory missions deployed across the galaxy — be they spacecraft, Viking or other — we're constantly probing the world of beer back here on Earth. That quest has brought us to this latest creation, which comes from our brewing team at Stone Brewing – Napa. With a subtle haze reminiscent of some far-off nebula, and further complimented with the juicy flavors of Ella and Citra hops, this beer is most definitely out of this world. Crafted to be enjoyed on Earth, but if intelligent life does exist out there, we're pretty sure they'll like it too.”

The label names its hops (Ella, Citra), which is enough for a real starting point.
