Beersaturday with one of the biggest players in the game - Stone.

in #beersaturday5 years ago

Hello, everyone, how are you today? I’m here with another late #beersaturday post.
It is Sunday evening already and I found some time to share with you my recent beer hunt.

Yesterday I went in my nearest beer shop to see what new was in the refrigerators. So... after a long thought I ended buying a Stone canned double IPA! (and two more Stone beers to consume later in the week)

This 2nd anniversary beer is not because Stoners are 2 years old, but this is the time, when they built their brewery in Berlin. So in this can they have combined a lot of German and European traditional hops, instead of the American varieties, which is very common for the best IPAs on the market.

This beer was packaged in a 500 ml can, and as you can probably see, is 8,7% alc. Well, I started wondering how was I going to feel after having this whole one. But, wise people have once said “Time will tell!”.

Opening the can I really wasn’t expecting anything else than a lot of hops, and these traditional local hops gave this beer a lot more flowery and piny aromas than citrussy and fruity. This was definitely a different DIPA.

In the mouth, the density was definitely there. A heavy beer with a lot of hops. And yes, you could really feel the hops tingling your tongue. The carbonation was a bit low, but this really was expected for a beer that strong. Overall, the beer was very well balanced, and although missing the citruses was ideally thick and appropriate for the cold winter day.

And yes, after having it all, I was definitely in a stage, that the surrounding world was feeling a bit unstable and swirling. 😁 Luckily this ended quickly and I was ready for my evening dose!

This was my #beersaturday. See you soon with other Stone “players”.
Cheers!

We are big fans of Stone Brewing. There biggest brewery is near here. We got a tour recently and got to try several of their beers including the Berlin version of their Wootstout, which was excellent.
