Stone Brewing Stone Tangerine Express Hazy IPA

DescriptionFurther InformationReviewsDeliveryImagine the tropical haze of a lazy afternoon- into-evening. Your official duties for the day have been to maybe take a hike to a secluded waterfall, perhaps grill something, definitely chill with plenty of sand between your toes…and crack a phenomenal beer to complete the experience. Check, check, check again and…pfffft…check.  This ain’t no just-add-juice approach. This one is for adults. We use bountiful whole tangerine purée, which brings pithy, crisp bitterness to the citrus flavor. In addition to the complexities of the tangerine — the likes of which you can only get by using the whole fruit — we judiciously employ just a hint of whole pineapple for a backnote (you’d likely not even pick it out of the mix if we didn’t tell you it was there). We’re not looking for a sweet concoction to appease the “I want my beer to taste like fruit juice” crowd. This is Stone. We like our IPAs to taste like IPAs. Big, bold and not for kids. Working with fruit can be amazing and so using amazing quality fruit is key to achieving that wonderful freshness. The high-end pureed fruit selected here blends exceptionally well with the aroma and flavors from the hops, creating a multi-layered IPA that also has fresh hoppy dankness and bitterness that superbly rounds out this beer. Founded by Greg Koch and Steve Wagner, Stone Brewing has come a long way since opening up in San Diego, California in 1996.

Stone is famous for brewing bold, big-character beers without regard for style guidelines or focus groups.

As they say, "We make the beers we do because we love them - plain and simple" and it's a philosophy that works, having twice been called the “All-time Top Brewery on Planet Earth” by BeerAdvocate magazine.Key FactsSize355mlCountryUSARegionSan DiegoABV %6.7%VeganUnknownHow to get this item   Standard Next Day DeliveryOrder by 12pm Mainland UK Orders over £200FREEMainland UK Orders under £200£6.95Scottish Highlands and Isle of Wight£14.95Scottish Islands£29.95Northern Ireland and Eire£19.95Channel Islands exc Alderney & Sark£49.95Alderney & Sark£59.95   Saturday DeliveryOrder by 12pmMainland UK Orders£29.95   Click and CollectOrder by 4pmCollect in store next dayFREE

This creation’s uniquely hazy appearance is a credit to the glorious whole tangerine purée in every batch. Using the whole fruit allows Stone to harness every bit of its natural depth of character. Pithy, crisp bitterness complements its distinct juicy citrus. Just the right amount of pineapple and, this being Stone, a whole lot of hops round off this beer in an amazingly hazily citrusy tasty paradise of flavours and aromas.
