Beer Review 8: Stone Sublimely Self-Righteous


This brew was simply amazing! usually beers by Stone Brewery are a bit to robust for me,but this beer here really hit the spot! Stone Sublimely Self-Righteous is clearly a sensational brew! Self-Righteous is a dark IPA that was first brewed in 2007 by Stone as their 11th anniversary beer. Usually I hesitate when it come to dark IPA,but this one I took a chance on and I was blown away. This beer comes in at 8.7% abv and can be purchased in a 22 oz bottle. I highly recommend this brew to anyone who is a fan of heavy beers and IPA. Its everything you want and nothing you don't. Wonderfully complex and layered, this Ale by Stone is a benchmark in beer making and a trailblazer to what many IPA is today. 

Color: Pours black with a nice one inch head. not transparent at all.

Nose: A bouquet of hops hit your nose. It smells fresh and clean like a forrest on a spring damp morning. Light citrus emulates from the beer along with coffee notes and nuts. 

Palate: Wow! soft, clean, and gentle. full body beer with a large amount of flavor. Sweet and citrus flavors. 

Finish: Long and full of flavor. Very complex and explosive as well. you get the coffee and sweet malt balanced by the bite of the hop.

Notes: Great year round brew. great with any meal and a cigar. A must have beer  for everyone. 

Rating: 90 out of 100
