Clear with a blizzard of floating sediment as expected, Stone calls it “East Coast haze” on the bottle; minimal head retention, smells of P.O.G. juice and floral hops. The taste is bright and juicy with flavors of pineapple, tangerine, guava, lemon, mango, and lightly toasted biscuits on a smooth full body. The finish is long and moderately low in bitterness, featuring notes of grapefruit, lemon zest, floral hops, and a hint of guava. Overall, it’s shockingly good. Like this is by far the best Stone IPA I’ve ever had. It kinda reminds me of Citradelic; if they could just fix the appearance this could actually pass for a fruited NEIPA.
