Year of New Beer: Tangerine Express IPA, Stone Brewing (CA)

Written By: Dion on 01/30/2017

The innovators of the in-your-face, hop forward, bitter bomb, Stone returns primarily to their roots with this one. Bright tangerine and grapefruit lead the way on the nose, becoming softer and slightly sweeter with warmth. A touch of honey and very little malt presence. Citrus peel rules the tongue, working in conjunction with hints of peach and pineapple to produce a bitterness that builds and dries the mouth, leaving traces of evergreen and dank herbs. No haze, no hype, just hops. Very nice.
