504. Stone Brewing (Escondido, CA) - Hazy IPA

“Stone Hazy IPA comes in at an easy 6.7% and less bitter than our other IPAs, but still blooming with bold, juicy flavors. This amazingly hazy IPA features El Dorado and Azacca hops which bring tons of citrus & fruit elements while intense Sabro hops highlight the big, tropical notes of this beer. The result of this unique hop combination is a groovy, juicy citrus bomb with tons of orange, lemon, melon, mango and pineapple flavors & aromas.”

They must have used some kind of mystery hops for the description, because it says nothing about how they ginned up the hyperbole. Do you really want to bring that much different fruit into one beer? You might as well call it a Fruit Cocktail IPA. Not bad, but not remotely interesting.
