Stone/Beachwood/Heretic Still Unapologetic IPA

Rated 97 on RateBeer.comCOMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION:When you get three hopheads together to collaborate on a beer it¡¯s only natural to expect some hopped up liquid incarnation of their lupulin lust to spring forth from such a session. Maybe it seems pass¨¦ to some¡ªthree masters of hoppy beer once again exploring the familiar territory of the India pale ale. After all who needs yet another IPA double or otherwise right? It¡¯s all been done. To those who feel this way this trio¡¯s reply is: ¡°So what?¡± In birthing a double IPA made bitter and fruity care of a m¨¦lange of new and experimental hops (Azacca Belma and yet-to-be-named varieties from Washington¡¯s Yakima Valley) they aren¡¯t staying in a comfort zone¡ªthey¡¯re hitting a sweet spot in the name of all that is good delicious hoppy and forward-thinking to create an IPA that¡¯s both like and unlike anything they or you have ever tasted. Rife with essence of pine resin and fruits both citrus and tropical there¡¯s no need for apologies with this beer. All that¡¯s necessary is a yearning for hops a sturdy constitution and an empty glass.
