Stone Encore 08.08.08 Vertical Epic Ale

COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTIONThe Stone 08.08.08 Vertical Epic Ale is a strong Belgian-style IPA highly hopped with American hops (Ahtanum Amarillo and Simcoe). The beer pours pale golden with a thick and creamy white head of foam. The aroma is full of depth: nuances of pepper clove and banana from the Belgian yeast strain and the resiny citrus notes from the American hops blend together nicely to provide a complex aromatic character. The taste is spicy hoppy and fruity with a very dry and a pleasant bitter end. The bitterness lingers nicely and provides a refreshing finish!
