More information about Stone Brewing Ripper Pale Ale
After a fat surf session on a beautiful beach, you step out of the crystal clear waters exhausted and happy, the wetsuit is already half open and you wish for only one thing: a cool, refreshing beer. Stone Brewing's Ripper Pale Ale is exactly what makes that moment perfect. A tangy, refreshing fruit experience that makes you think of iced tea. Light, pearly and easy-going, like Australia's cutest surfer girl. The perfect West Coast Pale Ale with a dreamy foam peak and the incomparable taste of green hops, which combines irresistibly with juicy fruit notes.
The Surfer Girl makes a splash in the glass, too: deep golden with sun-drenched light brown foam, Stone Ripper is a feast for the eyes. And the nose is spoiled, too.

This fruit explosion is underpinned by a delicate floral note that counters the heavy sweetness with a grassy, slightly herbal tartness. Overall, an olfactory experience that leaves one eager to take the first sip. On the palate, the Ripper Pale Ale plays all its fruity cards. Tropical aromas meet green hop notes on the tongue. On the finish, strong malt tones lead to a crisp, clear finish. Overall, the Ripper is very drinkable with a nice bitterness and pleasant carbonation.
