I liked it a lot. Nice flavor, not packing too much of a punch. I'd get it again with no reservations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me it's just the greatest combination of flavor, awesome citrus scents and hops, hops and more hops. Oh yeah, and alcohol...lots of booze in that bottle.

It was the usual Sam Adams offering, good, but not great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I simply love how this ale smells right before it hits your face and punches you Mmm...sipping on some Ruination right now. First time in a while, feeling nice and fuzzy. Ruination has not been distributed in my area for a few months now and nobody seems to know why The only bottles left anywhere are well past the best by date and out of desperation the other day I bought one. It was still good, but the hops had faded tremendously and of course that detracted from the enjoyment. I think I need to call Scott Sheridan and see whats up with this. edit: talked to Scott Sheridan with Stone today and even he didn't know why we're not seeing any Ruination in NE Florida. But, he did say he would look into it and get the problem corrected. Great customer service.

Look for me to try it tomorrow Snowdog - ironically, I go into the nearby Bottle King this afternoon and I see they just got in 3 Terrapin varieties....including Hopsecutioner. I would assume the Cigar City is limited to distribution in the south? The stuff was VERY enjoyable.

doubled_mystic Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 after disposing of some old stock in the last week and making more room in the fridge for in-date brews, and the liquor shelf for new stock I added a six of the wonderful Left Hand Milk Stout, a few bottles of the Sierra Nevada 30th Anniversary Stout, a bomber of Lagunitas Hop Stoopid, some Victory Hop Wallop (a close second for me to Stone Ruination, and as no one in the area is carrying that particular brew any longer- curse their MA distributor), and in the liquor department, it's all about rum- Ron Matusalum Clasico, Ryan and Wood's Foley Cove Rum out of Gloucester MA, and Rhum Barbancourt out of Haiti.... and all said beers and rums go very well with the stogies unfortunately not all good drinking experiences as of late, I have been greatly disapointed by the beers from Troegs brwery, especially the Troegenator Double Bock, it was awful, I gave away the rest of the six pack.

I've really come to enjoy Hop Wallop. It seems to me like Hop Wallop tastes like the halfway point between Stone IPA and Ruination. I don't know for a fact, but the Hop profile has to be the same or very similar between Hop Wallop and Ruination. And we can't get Troegs here. But I've heard similar comments about their stuff even though they are highly regarded. Apparently the Nugget Nectar is quite good. Have you tried that yet?
