About this beer
This is the 11th of 12 labels we have from Stone Brewing. It is one of 113 double / imperial ipa labels approved in November 2019. Its label was approved 13 days after it was submitted. The label carries hazy, fruited on the front. The label carries the Brewers Association independent seal.
From the label“One person's peak conditions may be another's perfect storm – devastating and beautiful all at the same time. That, in a metaphorical sort of way, is what we have here. This beer is loaded with the intense, imposing hop flavor you'd expect from a pioneer of West Coast IPAs, but also just the right amount of modern East Coast style haze. And like a perfectly-timed tidal wave coming over the top, ample amounts of real passion fruit, orange and guava come wondrously crashing down. All these components combined may seem like a bit too much to work in harmony, but the sum of the parts creates an unbelievably tasty representation of nature's force at its peak.”
