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.

Pour is orange with thin head. Aromas of hops, faint citrus, and malt. Tastes is nicely balanced with malt and hop flavors. Good beer.

Copper color with a large head. Light grassy aroma. Malty flavor with some caramel finishing it up. No hops. None. Not even a residule bitterness. 43 different hops? It doesn’t seem like they even used one. If this had been labeled an Amber, it would have been great. As it is, it is an okay tasting brew that is completely disappointing considering the label on it.

Draft at Loki Music Festival. Pours a light amber beer with a decent orangish head. Aroma is hoppy and citrus fruit. Flavor is your typical hoppy IPA. End is bitter and a little bit dy. Great beer very drinkable

A nice and true IPA. Fairly normal color. Hoppy scent with some type of sweetness in the background. But then again if you’re using 43 different hops in it, then that’s probably part of the sweeter scent I can smell. One or more of these hops probably has a sweeter scent than others. Has a nice hoppy taste with a great aftertaste. I heard good things about this one and it lived up to the hype.

Great malty I.P.A. I like how this brew stands out from the crowd. Flavors of caramel, citrus, and roasted malt. Very close to an A.S.A imo, a bit alc and it would be there. Well rounded drinkable IPA

Nice IPA. Pours a bright amber with light orange head that dissapears quickly leaving a medium lace. Aroma is great - a big orange citrus marmalade bouquet. Good Palate, with medium astringecy.

On the thinner side in terms of body for an IPA.... There was a slight astringency to the hops i thought, though the overall flavor aside is quite nice... The balance is quite nice, very very drinkable for an IPA...

Poured light amber with light head and nice lace. Very good blend of hops with a light malty bottom. Good dry finish aswell.
