idiot like beer

The Alchemist / Ninkasi / Stone: More Brown Than Black IPA

This is love in a bottle. For fucks sake, this is is exactly what my brain thinks the perfect beer should be.  it has changed my life.  if you dont like IPAs, then, goto hell and drink some guinness…. this beer is so amazingly convoluted, yet simple at the same time  thankfully, my trusty slim jim mug holds a real 24oz… there is no way i could only enjoy 12oz at a time of this.  even as the beer sat while i took some pictures, the smell of citrus (esp grapefruit) was punching me in the face.  i love this type of hop flavor. i painfully love it.  the color is so confusing, as it doesn’t taste nearly as heavy as it looks. honestly, i have no idea how its this color and doesn’t taste a slight bit dark at all.

Tasting Notes: GRAPEFROOT, TONS OF FUCKING GRAPEFRUIT

just to note: they’re only making this once, GO BUY IT IN MASSIVE QUANITY

Stone: IPA

Grade: B+

I still think gargoyles are stoopid.  I think i like this more then the RUINATION. a bit more easy drinking, a bit more citrus, than malt. either way, stone makes great beer, and their addiction to gargoyles is dumb.

Tasting Notes: The Sweat From a Gargoyles Testicle.

Stone: Ruination IPA

Grade: Excellent!

A gift from my pops (what a mench).  I like beer, alot… and i like IPAs, alot. This one is in my top 5 list, for sure.  i dislike gargoyles, but wtf do i know about graphic design of beer bottles?  i wasn’t going to have a beer tonite, since i only rode about 25 miles today (30 miles or greater is my beer trigger threshold) but this one was staring at me longingly from the fridge.

Tasting Notes: Camping, Pacific Coast Beach Air, Honey, Happy Animals

Stone Cali- België IPA

Grade: hard to grade

tasting notes: chocolate, coffee, timbers, pine, carmel, salt, biscuit
