Notes:
And as Stone Ruination IPA turns 10, we thought we’d make ourselves a nice little birthday present to celebrate. But what kind of selfish jerks would we be if we didn’t share?! Behold, the Stone Ruination Tenth Anniversary IPA. (Clever name, eh? That’s why us folks in the Marketing Dept. get the big bucks!) It’s an amped-up version of Stone Ruination IPA, with a bit more malt to bring the abv up from 7.7% to 10.8%, and a very heavy dose of hops. “Classic” Ruination uses 2.5 pounds of hops per barrel–which is more than double the amount we use in any other of our core beers–but for Stone Ruination Tenth Anniversary IPA, we went double again, using an impressive 5 pounds of hops per barrel, including about a pound each of Citra and Centennial in the dry hop. (Hell. Yes.)

I've been trying to track this down for a while - finally found it at Bottles on the east side!

Poured the bomber into a Sam Adams pint glass. Impressive hazy golden look to it. Very profound smell of hops, pine, citrus..but mostly hops.

This is a rare occasion where the taste lives up to the hype. Perhaps the most flavorful IPA I've ever tasted - strong piney flavor followed by a powerful hop finish. A good bitter aftertaste that really does a number on the palate. I'm really looking forward to pairing this with the meatloaf my fiance left for me tonight.

My favorite IPA is still Loose Cannon, but this is very close.

Well Stone, you have done it again. I thought you peaked with Enjoy By but I guess I was wrong. This beer is absolutely amazing. It's a Kung Fu kick to the palate. So much hop goodness and all balanced out by enough sweet malt to keep you coming back for more. If you are a fan of aggressively hoped DIPA's or just want to drink one of the best beers in the world, do yourself a favor and seek this out. You will not regret it. The best part is you will be drunk off of one bottle!
