RuinTen IPA is Stone's Ruination 10th Anniversary beer from last year brought back by popular demand. Stone holds a special place in my heart because their beers are such good value for money. Any one of their special releases would sell at twice the price and this is no exception. Having recently had Enjoy By a couple of times over the last few months, this is a very different animal. Enjoy By has a very vegetal hop aroma and flavor, where as RuinTen has citrus in spades. It's pretty malty and a little as well, but that is offset by the sheer amount of hops used. I am a sucker for Citra hops and you can tell that they used them generously in the dry hopping of this beer. At 10.5% it's not something you want every day, but this is my third time having it from this years release and I love it.
