Stone Delicious IPA

◎ Appearance

Pours a deep gold with excellent clarity and a white, persistent head. The foam exhibits fine retention and forms distinct lacing on the glass walls with each sip. Carbonation is lively, evident in the steady stream of fine bubbles rising through the liquid.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with citrus and herbal hop character—lemongrass, lemon candy, and fresh citrus peel are prominent and inviting. Beneath this sits a lightly toasted malt foundation that grounds the aromatic profile. The Lemondrop and El Dorado hops create a spicy, clean quality without any sharp or aggressive edges.

◐ Taste

Entry is tart and lemon-forward, with grassy hop spice folding in immediately. The palate develops a medium body that balances the acidity without becoming cloying. A pronounced bitter, dry finish emerges in the mid-palate and carries through, with the hop character remaining clean and herbaceous rather than harsh.

◑ Finish

The finish is notably dry and lingering, leaving behind a sustained bitterness and herbal hop impression. The aftertaste settles into a clean, slightly astringent quality that invites another sip.
