Hazy and golden pour, with heavy carbonation that produces generous, fluffy, two-finger-deep head.

Intense, buttery and bitter hops hit contour the aroma. I detected notes of citrus and pine, but you can tell it's going to be super sharp and bitter.

Flavor follows the nose, and just as I thought it would, Ruination proceeds to wreck the palate at first sip. It's very bright, and makes it hard to pick out the flavors and components once you've begun. Some would say it grabs your attention, I prefer to say it kills any possibility of enjoying other beers after this one (at least in the same evening).

Overall, I enjoyed Ruination, but not as much as other offerings from Stone... Like Enjoy By.

a clean light copper, visible carbonation, 2 fingers of white fluffy head which gave off an intense amount of lacing. smells of pine, simcoe?, grapefruit, caramel. definitely getting lots of that typical simcoe cat-pee flavor, which i happen to love. a minty/piney/grapefruity hop experience. i really miss this beer. wish it weren't so damn expensive, i'd make it my go to. medium body with modest amount of carbonation.. creamy/sticky on the lips.

a wonderful beer. it'd been about 4-5 years since i had it, not because i was sick of it or anything but because i just wanted to try new beers. still as solid as i remember it. like i said, wish it were more wallet friendly.

Kind of like having a hot girlfriend; at first you're all kinds of stoked, but after a while you take it for granted. Ruination is a solid beer that I love getting freaky with, but after a while, you kind of get bored. I'll keep up with the booty calls, but for the most part you want something new.
