Beers To Try Before you Die or the Beer Bucket 52 List 14 of 52 Baird / Ishii / Stone Japanese Green Tea IPA (2015)

I am a little behind on my Beers to try before you die bucket list due to a cold that made everything taste like snot. So Here is my review from Stone Brewing's Collaboration series  Stone Brewery's Japanese Green Tea IPA

This was a very different IPA. If you like green tea and like IPAs this is a very good beer for you. The initial taste was absolutely a Green tea flavor but the back end or finish was for the IPA lovers out there. For me I am not a huge fan of either IPAs (although I am finding some I like and some I do not) and never a big fan of drinking Green tea, well back in the days when I smoked I thought this should balance out all the smoking, but never really enjoyed it.


But together they actually worked. I have to recommend this beer because I think people who enjoy a nice summer time IPA and also love both Green tea and IPAs with really enjoy this one. 
Myself I will give it a 1 Beer rating, 

only because it is not exactly my taste, but a good enough beer that I think this would rate higher on those individuals who enjoy IPAs and Green tea.
This is the Meaning of a One Beer
Okay this may be the lowest rating on this list but every beer here I guarantee is worth your time. What is one glass or bottle of beer going to cost you in the overall scheme of things? If you have drank anything below this level and if you have ever consumed a watered down impostor of a beer (See those B.M.C.big companies) then you have...Why not try one of these?
 Here is a Video from Stone explaining the Beer

Disclaimer I am a beer drinker and a beginner home brewer the above is only my taste buds telling me what I enjoy, it is not the law or rule of the land, these would be the beers that I am grateful to have tried before the day comes when I pass on and meet my maker.
