Stone 20th Anniversary Citracado IPA

20 Anniversary release, named after the street Stone Brewery is on, big big hopped forward beer, dank and tropical, avocado and Honey notes, with that much familiar "Enjoy By" style, very good indeed, better than last year's " Thunder Struck" but you would expect that, because this a very significant Anniversary,

Like no IPA you've ever had. This beer is citrusy and SWEET- which was pleasantly surprising. I don't normally like sweet beers but this one I will make an exception for. Pair this with lighter fare such as crackers or pub snacks. I can imagine enjoying this on a warm day, too, due to its fruity character. Be warned-- there are plenty of hops for us hopophiles so if that's not your thing, steer clear.

I was waiting to be hit with a mixture of lemon and guacamole. Luckily, that didn't happen. Stone is so solid...when it comes to IPAs. (Get it? Stone? Solid?) I am so witty. Sorry. Nice deep color and full taste. Medium hops. Close to an amber.
