Stone Ripper

A refreshing, golden-hued hoppy pale ale that will be Stone's new staple.

Inspired by the surf culture of Southern California and Australia, it is made using the historic hop variety "Cascade" from the Pacific Northwest and the Australian hop variety "Galaxy," which has been gaining attention in recent years.

True to the San Diego style, it's dry-hopped liberally, so some might think it's almost an IPA, but it's definitely a modern West Coast pale ale.

Add to that the Aussie accent of Galaxy hops, and the taste comes rushing in with a huge surge of juicy grapefruit and passion fruit aromas and flavors, as well as a crisp body and a clean, refreshing finish that will excite both surfers and hop heads.

The name "Ripper" is Australian slang meaning "seriously amazing" or "this is crazy."

There are various theories, but one of them is that it comes from the Japanese word "rappa" (fine).
