I guess the big news this week is probably Stone Brewing Company's entry into the market. There's also the big, new release from RedRock that'll have you waiting in line if you want to take some home that is.
RedRock Forbidden Peach - The nose is big with fresh peaches, funky saison notes and a bit of oak. The flavor follows with a
lightly sour fresh peach flavor, hints of oak and a subtle tart smack. The dry/tart/sweet balance here is
really nice. Medium bodied, some prickly plus carbonation, fruity
and smooth. 8.4% ABV @ RedRock locations - To-go sales begin Saturday 8/6/16 at 11am.
Stone Arrogant Bastard Ale - The nose has piney hops, caramel, fudge and
maple syrup. The taste is big with caramel, maple syrup, bready and slight roasty and nutty. Also a
lot of really robust hop character, pine resin, florals, lots of
aggressive hi-alpha hops, rich dried fruit cake, with raisin and prune
notes. Finishing with a nice dry bitter finish. 7.2% ABV @ Beer Bar, BeerHive & Slackwater
Stone IPA - The nose has orange peel, grapefruit and sweet malt. The fruit from the nose returns up front, but soon opens
up into a spectacular array of grassy, resiny, sharp hop flavors and
spices. Bitterness is high throughout, but the fruity and malty
sweetness balances it rather well while still allowing it that hop smack. Very drinkable. 6.9% ABV @ Beer Bar, BeerHive & Slackwater
Stone Delicious IPA - The nose is lemony with faint pine resin. The taste has biscuit and malts up front giving way to a very citrusy hop
profile. Strong notes of lemon and lime, with mild grapefruit and faint
pine. Spicy and peppery... really dances on the tongue with the
generous carbonation. A little sticky and oily.... finish is dry and
clean. 7.7% ABV @ Beer Bar, BeerHive & Slackwater
Stone Ruination - The nose has oranges and peache notes with grapefruit
and a little pine.
The taste has a big grapefruit explosion, with other fruits coming through
more subtly. Big resinous pine finish with pleasantly strong bitterness.
It's malt forward but the fruity, bitter hops are the
main show here. Alcohol is well hidden.8.5% ABV @ Beer Bar, BeerHive & Slackwater
Stone Who You Callin' Wussie Pilsner - The nose has grassy hops and toasty/grainy malts. The taste starts with grainy malts with notes of bread, grain, cracker, and a bit of sweetness. Hops
come through next with floral and grassy notes mostly along with some
lemon. Finishes fairly clean with a slight bit of hops lingering. Great Pils. 5.8% ABV @ Beer Bar, BeerHive & Slackwater
If you see these anywhere not listed please share where you saw them.
Cheers!
