Commercial Description:
This is our unique version of an ancient style. A style as old as the ocean trade routes of the last centuries Great Ships. Not as old as the equator they had to cross twice enroute, nor as old as the 10,000 or so miles of Di-Hydrogen Oxide and Sodium upon which they sailed, but older than the Circulithium-4 Lentloid that binds the Lupulin Quartnate onto your taste buds. Weird. Think about it. Now stop. OK, go again, now stop. Think again, and stop. But we digress. Made with 43 different hops and 65 various malts, this redolent ale will likely float your boat, whatever planet you're on.

Bottle. Pours a nice copper color with a thin, foamy, white head that slowly fades. Taste is of hops, pine, citrus, grapefruit, caramel and some malt. Similar aroma. Easy to drink and leaves me wanting more. Not a bad beer and is worth picking up again.

12 ounce bottle. Pours a clear amber color with a moderate cream head that leaves a sticky web of a lacing. Aroma is dominated by citrus and pine notes with caramel lying underneath them. Taste is the same, with the citrus and pine notes being more pronounced, and the caramel barely being noticable.

Bottle. Poured a golden amber with an off white head. Aroma was full of hops both citrus and piney. Flavor was nicely balanced as it began with citrus and ended with a pine kick.

Bottle. Poured a medium amber with a fluffy head. Light hop nose. Well balanced and pretty drinkable beer. Finish is fairly bitter. Pretty good.

aroma of strong toffee crunch and background of pine. appearance is mostly clear sunshine. flavor is bigger then its labeled style and ABV present: big balance of toffee malt and huge pine crush. this is one intelligent IPA.

I’m getting a lot of citrus and floral character in the arouma. I’m not getting that excited about this beer. It’s got a nice mouthfeel, bubbly and smooth, but the taste is just not that complex. It’s missing malt presence, I think, and finishes slightly astringent. Possibly I’m not just in a great beer drinking mood right now.

Nice aroma and flavor, lightly bitter with citrus. This doesn’t stand out in any way from other IPAs though. Good beer
