In this special beer blog, we are going to get into another brew from Stone Brewery.  It is their 19th Anniversary IPA. It is their Thunderstruck IPA.  If you read my earlier beer blog posts on their beers, you know the history of this West Coast Craft Brewery.  If you have not, please, read them to get to know California craft brewery.  Let us get into this IPA.

It has a clear golden color with a white constant head. The smell has a floral to slight citrus notes. The taste of this medium body has a citrus notes with hints of hop bitter. The aftertaste has a hop bitter finish. It is pretty drinkable beer.

Here is a description from their website (www.stonebrewing.com):

Our 19th anniversary beer brings the boom, delivering it to the palate in a voluminous, hop-driven thunderclap backed by the power of our brewing passion and intensity. This double IPA owes its considerable oomph to a quartet of Australian hops—Topaz and Galaxy, plus newcomers Ella and Vic Secret. We also had Fairview malt shipped in from Australia just for this brew. The beer’s striking tropical fruit, citrus and peach hop flavors and slightly resinous and aromatically dank earthiness are sure to electrify your senses.

We have many special beers planned for release to celebrate our 20 years of brewing, so let this serve as the first course to what will be an undoubtedly epic feast for craft beer enthusiasts, with particular thanks to those who’ve been with us for the long haul and helped us attain such longevity. Consider this the first of many Thank-Yous…for years to come!

Ending, I always pick up their new IPA’s.  I am a huge fan of this craft brewery.  i love the fact that they are always trying something different and new in beer.  I love taste profile and nice balance in this beer.  This craft brewery knows how to make IPA’s.  I trust this craft brewery more than any other craft brewery.  This is a nice IPA and I am glad I checked it out.  I highly recommend this beer.  I like it but is taste like a normal IPA.  There is nothing wrong with that.  Go get some!  Drink it!  Enjoy it!  Metal it!  \m/

Cheers!
