275. Stone Brewing (Escondido, CA) - Delicious IPA

“When creating an IPA deserving of the name ‘Delicious,’ intense flavor was paramount, and that’s just what this bright, citrus-forward standout brings to the table. Crafted to reduce gluten, the beer and its magnificent lemon candylike flavor and hop spice can be enjoyed by nearly everyone.”

Before taking the first sip, I’m going to go out on a limb and guess that this one will not be “exactly as advertised.” (And it is not.) The spice is way too heavy, and the citrus is more of an echo than a flavor. Not bad, just a little aggressive.
