stone 17th anniversary götterdämmerung ipa

This is an interesting beer. It uses pilsner malts and German hops, eschewing Stone's usual affinity for American hop varieties. I appreciate what they were trying to do, but I wasn't a fan of this one. There was a weird peachy taste to it. I didn't enjoy this as much as the R&R Coconut IPA. I am glad that Stone keeps pushing styles and making beers that are out of the usual, without getting too weird.

stone vertical epic 11.11.11

belgian golden ale brewed with ancho chili's and cinnamon. i had high hopes for this one, but it ended up kind of a mess. only made it through less than half of the bomber before pouring the rest out. stone is usually a a solid bet, so it was kind of a bummer. the only other stone beer i was this disappointed in was the belgo imperial stout,

la citrueille celeste de citracado

very complex, could easily be 8%. the nose is heavily fenugreek and is a bit like curry. yams and pumpkin in the back. interesting beer.
