Stone IPA – Stone Brewing Co - 4/5

You've heard me rant on about overly hoppy beers in the past but this IPA is exceptional.

Although very hoppy, I find it to be smooth and well balanced with a light citrusy taste.

This is not a consumption beer in any way. I often find myself wanting something a little lighter after about 3 or 4 of them so I usually reserve Stone IPA as an accompaniment to a big, meaty, juicy burger. The ultimate paring in my eyes.
