Stone Ruination IPA

Style:American Double/Imperial IPA
Alc %:7.7
Brewery:Stone Brewing Company
Country:US
Tap/Bottle?:bottle
Where/When:Home, Nov 2010
Cost:$7.50 for 375ml
Rating:8.5/10

Cloudy light copper colour with a nice white fluffy head.
Nose:Lovely mix of citrus, malts and passion fruit. It does have me salivating!
Citrus with a solid backbone of malts-
a creamy mouth feel, highlighted with food, the bitterness is bold, but not over powering.
The alcohol is nicely hidden which makes it a very session able drop, that said it is an ale you can't ignore- it's big! And kinda filling too!
I'll give it an 8.5/10
