The website contains all sorts of hipster bullshit for anal cuckolds, but the beer is good: it is a slightly fruity but lemon-bitter IPA similar to Karbach Hoppadillo Juicy, but slightly gentler.

Gentler! Yes, it has more rounded edges, maybe due to the wheat malt they threw in which gives it a slight taste of 1980s Coors. But in general, this is a great all-day beer because despite its bitterness like my black nihilistic heart, it also has a good breadth of flavor and no fermenty or vinegary rough edges.

What do you want from a beer? It needs to taste distinctive, have balance in that taste, deliver alcohol (optional if you are a DD), and leave pleasant memories of those experiences, which Stash IPA does with panache despite being from a hipster shithole town.
