One of our absolute favorite hopbombs is back, ready to blast your palate with a rogue wave of fresh hop intensity:  Stone’s RuinTen Triple IPA.  

Available only once a year, this is Stone’s hop masterpiece: five pounds of hops per barrel, 110 IBUS and a 10.5% ABV that rains down merciless hop variety without stopping.
 
Stone calls this beer a “mosh pit of hops” and the community agrees. With a perfect 100 on RateBeer and a 95 on BeerAdvocate, IPA fans from all over debate its endless well of flavor from fruit to spice to vegetable – RuinTen Triple IPA just might have it all.
 
Obscene dry hopping of Citra and Centennial Hops joins a spicy botanical rainforest with plump orchard groves of pineapple, lemons and cantaloupe, even plums! Green onion, garlic, coriander and pine are also present.  Magnum Hops contribute a powerfully crafted bitterness – but RuinTen isn’t about the bitter – it’s about the many possibilities of hop flavor.
 
Insane fan demand turned RuinTen into an annual release and IPA fans have been anticipate its return with vigor!  Drink it fresh while it’s here because you’ll miss it when it’s gone.
