Pale ale. Bright citrus, fruity hops (but not overwhelming), apricot, overripe peach, bitter notes and a hint of fresh herbs. Good stuff. Happy to see the ABV @ 5.5. Great daytime beer. — 10 years ago
Very sweet sake. It's perfect for those that have trouble with the typical bitter taste of sake. — 10 years ago
Love this beer, Stone's Famous lank mark strong ale "Basartd" 17 Adversary, combines all three "Basartd's to make the best of all, big fresh hops, because it is only released fresh once a year, big west coast style, leans more to a double IPA, but rich Carmel malt backbone, just awesome brew, nails the best of all three — 11 years ago

My favorite double IPA, from my favorite brewery, yes I am if you did not know, a big "Stone Head" I go visit this brewery very often to fill up my Stone Growlers, and pick beer that you can only get at the brewery, and of course "Enjoy By" which you can only get all the time in CA, or the brewery, this is the beer they released in 2010 to celebrate the anniversary of Ruination, it is much more hopped up version of that, big big hops, almost 11% ABV, big tropical and citrus notes, Awesome brew, only for true hop heads, this one will ruin your pallet for sure, glad they decided to release this now every year, once a year, so stock up like I did, you can get it now, the one few beers I give a perfect score, 10 out of 10, Excellent!!! — 11 years ago

The best beer this brewery has put out, so far, all their beers are very good, this one is excellent, in the style of a double west coast IPA, four different hops, and a perfect balance of a big malt backbone, very impressed, last year only on tap, now in 12oz 4 packs, — 11 years ago

From my good friend and co-owner of this winery we tasted an -08 in Vermont!
Clear ruby color; powerful, complex, earthy with lots of blue/dark fruit on the nose; high alcohol (feels like 14) and well-integrated supple tannins; oak is moderate only little new. Great job! — 10 years ago
