Alright, Stone Brewing Co. has put out their 14th Anniversary beer. This is an IIPA, English style! English pale malt with a ton of English hops. I expect nothing but perfection from this beer.
Aroma - Straight up hops; earthy, floral, and citrus. There is a slight sweetness, I'm not sure if it's from the hops or malt, but it's just amazing.
Appearance - Light gold, clear, thin white head.
Flavor - Upfront you get a lot or floral and earthiness followed with some slight citrus/grapefruit. Hop flavors are followed by biscuit/toasty malt. Nice and dry. A very different IIPA.
Mouthfeel - Medium to Medium-light. Nice and dry.
Overall - This is a very intriguing beer. Super dry, tons of English hop flavors; very earthy and floral. Just enough malt to balance the hops.
