Stone Features & Benefits IPA, Stone Brewing
Description 

There's no way you can make an insanely flavorful, hop-forward IPA in true Stone fashion and still keep it under 100 calories, right? Our brewers, along with the rest of Team Stone, love proving preconceived notions wrong. This beer is 100% Stone, 100% flavorful and 100% under 100 calories. It's also only 4% ABV, has 2.9G of carbs and is gluten-reduced. Now, you can have both the features and the benefits.

The beer starts out with a prominent rich, bready, grainy wheat character in the aroma balanced by a moderate level of ripe banana, very light clove and a light citrus tartness. The flavor follows the aroma closely, and adds light mixed berry fruit and a low, pleasant hop bitterness that helps...

This beer pours a slightly hazy golden color with a white head that leaves lingering lace on the side of the glass. The aroma is quite complex, with notes of watermelon heart, lemon, pear, sea salt and bready, grainy wheat with a suggestion of sourdough and coriander. There is a pleasant... Read More

Corylus

Corylus

Corylus, Pure Project
Description 

Corylus is our luxurious bourbon barrel-aged imperial stout infused with a trio of adjuncts that make it an unforgettable Pure classic. The fifth batch of this velvety, full-bodied brew rested in Cutwater Bourbon barrels 15 months, establishing a unique complexity. To take it up a notch, we added in organic toasted hazelnuts, organic Peruvian cacao, and organic Brazilian coffee. Elements of each ingredient come together beautifully to create a delicious experience for the senses. Expect to be greeted with aromas of cinnamon sugar cookies, bourbon, and vanilla wafer that give way to decadent flavors of dark chocolate fudge, hazelnut gelato, and inky espresso on the tongue.

This beer pours deep gold with a light haze, and a fine, white persistent head. The aroma is moderately tart with a hint of lemon zest, and a light peppery character that emerges as the beer warms. A light bready maltiness and moderate briny character also develops in the aroma. There is... Read More
