Tap to rate

Stone ///Fear.Movie.Lions Hazy Double IPA has been brewed since 2018 as a cross between coastal styles: the bitter backbone of a West Coast IPA with the slight haze and heavy aroma of an East Coast one. It pours light gold with a light haze and a fluffy white head. Loral and Mosaic give a nose of mixed fresh fruit, juicy hops and a hint of pineapple. The flavour recalls fresh fruit juice with strawberry, blueberry and grape and a trace of white sage, and the juicy body leads to a short, moderately bitter finish.

A pronounced juicy, tropical character emerges with pineapple and stone fruit, underscored by a subtle herbal whisper of white sage. The aromatic profile balances brightness with a restrained floral complexity.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a crisp entry of mixed berry—strawberry, blueberry, and grape—recalling fresh juice more than traditional malt sweetness. The mid-palate maintains that juicy character with a light, refreshing body and hints of white sage adding complexity. A moderate, clean bitterness develops toward the finish without dominating.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
