Review – Stone Delicious IPA vs F+B

Tucked inside the 12 Days of IPAs variety box from Stone Brewing was the new Features+Benefits “healthy IPA”, so today, let’s taste that vs their Gluten-reduced IPA, Delicious and see which comes out on top…

Delicious– nice fruit aroma and taste.  Fruit punch comes to mind. Very crisp and bitey.  Some pine in here as well. 

F+B – Super light and bright yellow.  Pretty watery.  Has a big cat pee aroma to it. Has quite a bit of bitterness. Lemon notes as well.  

This is a no brainer to me. Delicious wins by a country mile. It maybe gluten reduced but it tastes like a full bodied session IPA.

You can supply your own words to match up with the F and the B but for Stone it means Features and Benefits. In this case, the health conscious drinker.  This new IPA is under 100 calories and finishes at a mere 4% ABV AND is gluten reduced as well.
