Stone Brewing Company Enjoy After 12.26.15 Belgian IPA at 7% ABV | 70 IBU (US$13.99 at Total Wines & More, Henderson NV, 750 ml, packaged on 21-Nov-2014, acquired 1-Jun-2015, reviewed 15-Jun-2018)
Appearance: clear pale gold with four fingers of rocky white head, excellent retention and well-defined soapy lacing. (5/5) Aroma: dry hay funk, pale malt, lemon zest, herbal. (9/10) Taste: low sweet, moderate-high bitter, moderate funk. (9/10) Palate: medium body, moderate carbonation, dry funky finish. (4/5)
I tried another vintage of this (07.04.16) a couple of times, at one and a half years old and two and half years old. This one is now three and a half years old, and the trend of preferring these more the older they get continues. It’s the most highly attenuated one of the family so far, slightly dryer and funkier than its younger brethren, and for a Brett beer that’s all to the good. Really something special. (18/20)
