Stone Brewing Presents: Stone Scorpion Bowl IPA
Trends in craft beer rise and fall. However, through the dank, the fruit and the haze, one constant remains: Hops. Spotlighting this wonderful plant, Stone Brewing just released Stone Scorpion Bowl IPA. It’s a beer packed with all the fruitiness of some of today’s favorite beers, with absolutely no addition of fruit.
“Stone Scorpion Bowl IPA was initially brewed with the intent to add fruit,” said Jeremy Moynier, Stone Brewing senior innovation brewing manager. “However, once we brewed it, we couldn’t believe the amazing fruit aroma and flavors we’d coaxed from the hops alone. To heck with the fruit!”
It is certain that this week’s nationwide release may inspire a Tiki escapade. Seven straws and a blazing volcano may be the best way to share a scorpion bowl cocktail, but not this 7.5% ABV island inspiration.
Stone Scorpion Bowl IPA pours deep gold and bright with a thin white head. Also, the aroma is as juicy as its name implies with hints of passion fruit, pineapple, tangerine, guava and mango. Layer upon layer give this beer its complexity with tropical flavors as well as strawberry, blueberry and subtle herbal notes. Additionally, it finishes refreshing but with just the right bitterness. Needless to say, straws are not needed…or even welcome.
Stone Scorpion Bowl IPA is available in 22-ounce bottles. It’s also available on draft. The juicy hop creation joins Stone’s year-round lineup of beers. Including Stone IPA, Stone Delicious IPA, Stone Ruination Double IPA 2.0, Stone Tangerine Express IPA, Stone Go To IPA as well as Stone Ripper.
