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.

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

A very mild aroma with grassy notes. Pours amber and leaves behind fine lacing. The taste produces citrus hops aplenty, crisp and refreshing. The malt is mild and not obtrusive leaving hops in the forefront. A nice pleasant hops bitter in the finish. Not a single off-note in this beer.

Pours with almost no head. Smells of hops and flowers. Taste very light bodied with a pleasant hops bitter. Not a real robust IPA but good.

On tap at rattle n hum. Candi sugar and citrus hop aroma. Taste is tart, sugary, and grapefruit bitterness. A solid medium body, somewhat creamy. Slightly better than I expected.
