Once upon a time, in a small village nestled deep in the heart of the Enchanting Forest, there was a rumor circulating among the townsfolk about a diabolical witch on a bicycle. The mere mention of her name sent shivers down their spines and caused birds to scatter from the trees. The villagers had never seen the witch, but they had heard tales of her mischief and malevolence. Legend had it that she would ride her creaky, rusty bicycle through the village streets at night, a sinister laugh echoing in the stillness of the moonlit night. Whispers of her strange appearance filled the air, describing a haggard old woman with wiry hair and bulging eyes that glowed in the darkness. It was said that her bicycle had been cursed, allowing her to travel quickly and silently, leaving a trail of darkness in her wake.

Delicious IPA

From the beginning, Stone has been obsessed with the mission of providing people access to high-quality craft beer. After all, great beer is for everyone and anyone with the good taste to recognize it, not just a niche group like us uber beer geeks. So, when we developed this pleasantly bitter, deliciously citrusy, hop-driven IPA, we took it as an opportunity to go a step further and do something we’d spent over a year researching and perfecting: creating a beer that makes it possible for nearly everyone to experience our aggressive, no-holds-barred approach to craft brewing. It’s a flavorful, cutting-edge, modern-day IPA for everyone. Lemondrop and El Dorado hops provide plenty of fruit citrus character and a burst of hop zing that sings on the palate. We’re proud to present it to those who already know us for our IPA prowess and to those who, so far, have only heard legends.

Brewed with Phantasm and orange peels. Phantasm is an ingredient which is made from Sauvignon Blanc grape skin extract. Aromas of candied orange, mango and guava give way to flavors of citrus blossom honey, mango, cherry cordial, white wine and papaya.

Poured into a wide mouth, grip shaped goblet: color is straw gold, head is off white and presents one finger thick, head dissipates to a solid top with some lacing on the glass sides.

Smell is bread, light toast, some fruitiness with a light grape must sense, hint of citrus and light tropicals.

Taste is sweeter malt with notes of bread and toast, light sweet fruit undertone of grape and citrus, very subtle spice and herbal quality, flavors more notable than aroma.

Mouthfeel is low carbonation, stronger sweetness, moderate bitterness.

Overall a sweeter DIPA with light herbal and grape must notes, solid bready maltiness.

Poured out of a 12 oz. can into my tulip glass, this beer pours a fairly sedimenty, medium golden color w/ a bit of a copper hue color w/ a few streams of little bubbles continuously rise to the beer's surface. Has a very nice white head that’s an inch thick when first poured. The sediment is most likely from the grapes and the phantasm, which is made grape skin extract. Has a huge, fluffy, just slightly off-white, foam head that's well over an inch thick when first drawn and served. Has excellent retention. Head eventually settles to a thick surface coating along w/ a very thick ring lining the inside of the glass along with big cluster swirls of foam on the beer's surface and some very nice lacing. Aromas of some bready, slightly toasted malts that's followed by a pungent fruity aroma of grape, orange pee, tangerine, mango, and papaya and some herbal and floral hop notes. Flavors of some bready, slightly toasted malts that's followed by the fruit notes I referred to above that’s followed by the floral, herbal and citrus hop bitterness. The flavors are all nicely integrated. Has a crisp, also smooth, slightly frothy, medium and full body mouth feel with moderate carbonation. The flavors all linger very nicely on my palate for the aftertaste. An interesting and tasty take here on this style.

Notes via stream of consciousness: I like the name for this one but I'm not really sure why. More importantly, I think the combination of white grape skins and sweet orange peel is interesting so let's get to it. It's poured a hazy golden-amber beneath a finger's width of dense off-white foam. I was expecting a little more from the aroma but there's enough there. I get both the grape and the orange peel so I have no complaints there. It's fresh and welcoming. Will it taste the same? The answer is yes, and no. It's a double IPA at 8.8% ABV with hops so there's got to be some variation. It's malty with a bready and wheaty character. Floral, citrusy, otherwise fruity, and spicy notes balance it. The label states that there are three hops in use here but I'm only familiar with the Mosaic. I'm not getting the berries often found in Mosaic but it is floral, grassy, spicy, and lightly piney. Whatever they're using it works for me. I'm finding some papaya and mango as well. You get a little bit of the alcohol, more than just an impression of it, which is actually nice; that helps to balance it. It finishes dry and I get the white grape at the point, along with spiciness, and then a hint of orange before it fades. In the mouth it's medium bodied and dextrinous, and gently crisp-then-smooth except for the snap of alcohol. All told there's something quite unique about it, and it's pleasant as well; or at least as pleasant as a double IPA can be! On that note it's not overdone with malt as some examples can be, and it doesn't feel heavy. I rather like it but that's up to you to decide for yourself.

Introducing Stone Patio Magic Double IPA

ESCONDIDO, Calif.— Stone Brewing announces a new beer to ring in that springtime patio sippin.’ Stone Patio Magic Double IPA showcases Stone’s commitment to innovation with the use of Sauvignon Blanc grape skin extract and an experimental hop variety from Hop Breeding Company (HBC). It is now available nationwide.

Stone Patio Magic Double IPA offers an explosion of flavor and aroma with a smooth and creamy palate that makes it easy to keep enjoying, like that sunset golden hour on the back patio. Aromas of candied orange, mango and guava give way to flavors of citrus blossom honey, mango, cherry cordial, white wine and papaya. While the experience is enchanting, it’s how the brewers conjured up these flavors that’s especially magical.

Stone Patio Magic Double IPA is Stone’s first commercial release using the innovative Sauvignon Blanc grape skin extract from New Zealand called Phantasm. When making white wine, grapes are pressed off their skins. Those skins are used to develop Phantasm, as they have compounds that produce many of the desirable fruit characteristics also found in hops. In combination with certain yeasts and hops it intensifies the flavor and aroma experience.

Stone has long been committed to experimenting with unique hop varieties and supporting hop growers in their breeding programs. Stone Patio Magic Double IPA exemplifies that spirit. The beer is brewed with the experimental hop HBC 843 from Hop Breeding Company, which has orange, berry, floral and wood notes. Stone’s brewers walk the fields with breeders every harvest and give feedback on experimental varieties. They trial beers using experimental hops on Stone’s pilot brewing systems and send beer and sensory data back to the breeders, growers and vendors. While HBC 843 comes from the private company, HBC, Stone participates with similar exploration and support for public breeding companies through the Hop Research Council and Hop Quality Group.

“Stone Patio Magic Double IPA is such a complex and innovative beer,” explained Jeremy Moynier, Sr. Manager of Brewing & Innovation. “Phantasm and HBC 843 are complemented by the addition of Orange Peel, Centennial, Mosaic and Southern Aroma hops from South Africa, the latter of which contribute notes of passion fruit and lychee. Nailing the flavor profile with this unique combination of ingredients was a lot of fun.”

The right beer at the right time can be truly magical and Stone Patio Magic Double IPA is just the 8.8% wonder to extend that day-end golden hour.

Every creak of a bicycle wheel in the night sent them into a frenzy, thinking that the diabolical witch had finally arrived. They boarded up their windows, hung crosses above their doorways, and sprinkled salt around their homes in an attempt to ward off evil spirits. The once vibrant village now resembled an abandoned ghost town. However, amid the terrified whispers and anxious hearts, a young girl named Mia refused to believe in the tales of the diabolical witch. Her curiosity got the best of her, and she decided to investigate the truth behind the rumors. Armed with her courage and determination, she set out on a moonlit night to find the witch. Venturing deep into the Enchanting Forest, Mia eventually stumbled upon an old, dilapidated cottage hidden among the trees. As she cautiously approached, she could hear the soft hum of a bicycle's wheels. Peering through a crack in the wooden door, she gasped in surprise at what she saw. Instead of encountering a monstrous witch, Mia found a frail old woman sitting by a crackling fireplace, her body wrapped in tattered robes. The woman's face wore lines of wisdom and weariness, not the menacing grimace Mia had anticipated. The bicycle leaned against the wall, its rusty frame revealing years of use and neglect. With trembling hands, Mia pushed open the door and entered the cottage. The old woman looked up, her eyes filled with a mixture of surprise and curiosity. Mia explained the rumors that had plagued the village and how she had set out to investigate. The old woman listened attentively, a faint smile tugging at the corners of her mouth. As it turned out, the old woman was no witch at all. Her name was Amelia, and she had once been a kind-hearted healer, using her bicycle to travel from village to village and aid those in need. However, a tragic event had occurred many years ago, leaving her heartbroken and embittered. The villagers, in their fear and ignorance, had perpetuated the rumors of her being a witch. Over time, the villagers had forgotten the true story of Amelia and had twisted it into a tale of malevolence and darkness. Mia realized that the diabolical witch was merely a product of the villagers' fear and superstition. With newfound understanding, Mia encouraged Amelia to return to the village and confront the townsfolk. Together, they rode the old bicycle back to the village, where the once frightened and paranoid people now watched in awe and disbelief. The bicycle's rusty wheels turned slowly, carrying Amelia and Mia to the center of the village square. Amelia addressed the villagers, sharing her story of loss, redemption, and the power of forgiveness. Her words touched their hearts, and a wave of remorse spread through the crowd. They realized the error of their ways and begged for forgiveness for the harm they had caused. From that day forward, the village transformed. The whisperings of the diabolical witch vanished, replaced by acts of kindness and unity. Amelia, no longer feared, became a beloved member of the community, using her healing talents to bring joy and comfort to those in need. And so, the legend of the diabolical witch on a bicycle was forever replaced by a story of redemption and forgiveness, reminding the villagers that appearances can be deceiving, and true evil often lies not in the hearts of others but in the darkness cultivated by fear..
