Very unusually I found myself craving some hops. What better way to take care of that than with some Ruination?

Thanks to BA Prostman.

Crystal clear, golden orange pour with a fantastic, large, billowing, rocky head and some sticky lacing. A treat to behold in the glass. Some huge hops in the nose and the initial taste, but they are simply not overpowering. In fact, the taste was sort of mild! Very surprising.

Very refreshing with a smooth ending and a classic metallic bitterness at the back of the mouth to remind you of what you’re drinking. A little oily hop presence too.

Another super Stone product.
