Stone Brewing Co. Out of Escondido, San Diego, CA. is the number 1 brewery in what is arguably the epicenter of the craft brew movement. I sampled their Ruin Ten from 22oz bottles. It pours cloudy amber with a strong hop and slight alcohol in bouquet. Big, pronounced hop and big al the tongue with a big hoppy finish. This was a good, DIPA but I have enjoyed some other Stone varieties more. It had a bit too much alcohol flavor. It is a big 10% DIPA, but their “Enjoy By” series is also high in alcohol but IMHO, is much smoother and it has that strong, sweet hop flavor. Look for more on the “Enjoy By” series another post.
