Always on the hunt for small-batch & experimental beers? Thursdays are your hot ticket! We’re tapping a special creation from the brewhouse at Stone Brewing World Bistro & Gardens – Liberty Station, where our Brewing Manager, Kris Ketcham, conjures up a slew of unique and experimental brews. We pour through these limited-release beers until they run out, so early birds, worms: all that jazz.

Appearance – Clean, golden yellow with an off white foam

Aroma – Earthy, dank. Hints of tangerines. English-style IPA nose.

Taste – Earthy, woody. Stone fruit in background. Mild citrus on the finish—citrus peel.

Palate – Mild mid-palate with a strong finish and strong bitterness that doesn’t linger.

Overall – Welcome in our 1st single hop of 2018. A hop straight from New Zealand. Officially released 1994, this hop was bred from New Zealand Smoothcone, English Fuggle and California Fuggle hops. Intense earthy characteristics this hop makes up for it with its unique citrus and stone fruit in the flavor.
