Commercial Description:
...created to aid in deciphering the puzzles along life's road, and interpreting signs in the voyages of the spirit. Brewed in homage to the wisdom of visionaries everywhere who blaze paths into uncharted territories. Our take on an India Pale Ale (IPA.) A deep golden amber ale with a rich up-front malty nose finishing with a big, hoppy bite. Dry-hopped to finish with a big fresh (Cascade) hop flavor. Fermented with our 150 year old strain of top-fermenting yeast.

A hazy orange beer with a huge orange head. The aroma is sweet grassy with light spicy notes - I find the aroma a bit sharp. The flavor is malty with notes of oranges lingering in the background, on which is dry spicy notes and light hoppy notes. In the beginning I find the hops mostly English in impression (Nothern Brewer?), but towards the end it get citrusy and Cascade-like. And the body is a bit thin.

Bottled. Reddish amber, small head. Concentrated juicy orangey hop aroma. Dryish and malty with fairly soft butr clean mouthfeel. Very salty finish with notes of licorice, but not overly bitter.

Amber-beige colour. Light woody hop notes in the aroma with a whole grain bread background. Moderate bitterness. Quite woody. Slightly watery texture. Ok, but that’s it.

Nice English-style IPA. Malty aroma, but also some pine. Good hoppiness throughout -- very well balanced. Quite bitter aftertaste. At times it seemed a little watery/thin. Overall not my favorite, but still a decent brew.
