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 slightly hazy orange with a small to medium sized white head. Ample aromas of hops and citrus with a hint of pine, and a soft undercurrent of malt. Hops come right out in the mouth mellowing for a moment, and then slowly fading into a mildly bitter finish. I find myself going to this beer quite often as a casual IPA that is very approachable, and very affordable.

pours a copper colour with a large off white head. Aroma was wicked grapefruit and white grape juice as well as light floral tones. Flavour is citrusy hop, some caramel malt body through the back end, a nice clean bitter finish. Excellent IPA.

12 ounce bottle courtesy of ucusty. Thanks! Pours a clear amber color with a medium white head, average retention and great lacing. Sweet floral hop aroma. Taste is citrus and leafy hops with some sweet malts. Medium body.

Crushed with Honkeybra. Lots of awesome floral hops on the nose. Gave way to...nothing. This is the Calista Flockhart of ipa’s: probably smells and looks nice, but absolutely no body whatsoever. Flavor is severely lacking in anything related to a ipa.

Crushed with TheDude at Budde’s pizza in Galesburg, IL. Looks nice, golden with some hops. Smells really nice, beautiful floral hops. However, this beer has no body. Just hops and Very disappointing.

Poured from a bottle into a pint glass. Light amber, clear. Hoppy, light fruit aroma. Nice hoppy flavor and dry finish. Liked it a lot.

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.
