Stone Brewing Releases Exalted IPA

February 24, 2018 by Dow Scoggins

ESCONDIDO, California — Like a savior to their disciples, Stone Brewing extols the glory of the almighty hop with its latest release, Stone Exalted IPA. The first in the Stone Hop Worship Seasonal IPA Series, the crisp and citrusy blend of hops is now available in 12-ounce can six-packs nationwide.

The divine qualities of Loral & Citra hops give this beer beautiful aromas of fresh citrus, elegant floral notes and mild grain and wheat characteristics. Lemon and lime flavors are accented by Thai basil and a big floral component, resulting in a beer that is crisp with lingering citrus flavors and bitterness.

In an elevated state of reverence, Stone Brewing Executive Chairman & co-founder Greg Koch preached, “It’s true, there are still many poor souls out there who have not yet accepted the glory of the almighty hop into their hearts. We pledge to be tireless in our quest to help beer drinkers around the world find righteousness when basked in the halo of the hop. This beer, Stone Exalted IPA, is presented in our humble service to that noble end!” Back on solid ground, he added, “Our brewing team really knows a thing or two about their hops. Stone Exalted IPA is an exemplary display of their ability to create entirely new flavor profiles with the careful execution of hop blending. I certainly find myself on higher ground thanks to their incredible work.”

Stone’s zealous brewers are challenged on the daily to take their passion for hops to the next level. The Stone Hop Worship Seasonal IPA Series is the result of just that challenge. Experts in the individual flavor profiles of hops old and new, brewers meticulously blend hop selections to meet specific flavor qualities. Case in point: Stone Exalted IPA. Glory be to those who imbibe it in its freshest form and faithfully rejoice in their worship of the Hop.
