Stone Scorpion Bowl IPA
Tasting Notes:
Appearance: Deep gold, bright, thin white head.
Aroma: An explosion of tropical aromas! Essences of Hibiscus punch, pineapple, tangerine, guava, mango, and passion fruit.
Taste: Complex and layered fruit throughout including juicy tropical fruit, tangerine, strawberry, blueberry, and subtle herbal notes.
Palate: Savory and tropical! There is a nice lingering fruit finish with just the right amount of bitterness.
Overall: This beer clearly shows the amazing fruit aroma and flavors that you can coax from an artful blend of hops. That’s right, there was no fruit used in making this beer! All the complexities come from our lupulin-rich best friend….the almighty hop. When we tasted the original prototype for this beer, someone commented that it reminded them of a Scorpion Bowl cocktail. The description was perfect and the name stuck!

To create a recipe so tropical and fruity without the
addition of fruit was no feat our team of brewers would
leave up to the gods. They took floral and citrus notes
from Mosaic, Loral and Mandarina Bavaria hops to dish up
a mouthwatering fruit punch to the palate. Get deserted
on your own island or share with others. One thing is for
sure: there is no need to light this one. It is already on fire.
