Stone Brewing scores again with its Ruination Tenth Anniversary, an attempt to take its regular Ruination IPA to the max. Labeled as “ruining palates for 10 years,” this full-bodied IPA's hops take center stage, as expected. Copper in color with a frothy head, it's loaded with intense hop-fueled notes of pine, grapefruit pith and a touch of sweet clementine. A caramel malt note helps to keep the palate grounded, preventing the bitterness from completely overwhelming the experience. The finish is long and appropriately astringent, with a slight warming sensation on the back. If you're a hophead, at 110 IBUs, this one's definitely for you.
