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.

Pours a clear copper with a tiny white head that dies rather quick. The aroma is a mad mix of hops... citric tropical fruit, earthyness, floral, herbal, and slight pine. The flavor is similar, but with a ton of very sweet malt that doesn’t blend well. The sugars seem distant and, although there is a thick oily mouthfeel, seem thin and unraveled. Perhaps I got an old / bad bottle. I’ll probably re-rate.

12oz bottles, wonderful full hoppy aroma, nice bitterness initially and a little malt body. Very good beer that I can drink a lot of.

Pours a brilliant orange-gold, with a lovely but short-loved head and nice lacing. Aroma is biscuity and lightly perfumey. Taste is surprisingly restrained; not as hoppy as o had expected, but still quite pleasant and balanced. Good carb, lightly creamy body. A nice light treat!

Aroma is of sweet malt. Taste is of sweet malt. If I didn’t see the label I would have thought this is a weak pale ale. Maybe there was something wrong with my bottle but I could barely taste the hops
