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.

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.

Pours clear light amber with light head and nice lace. Wonderful hop aroma smells like fresh wildflowers and grass. Malty base with sweet edge is also evident. Mouthfeel is unremarkable, but not bad. Taste is weak compared to the aroma. Little bit on the front end, hop flavor is more like dried wood with herby edge. Alcohol is totally not evident. Tastes good, but I’d rather bathe in the aroma all day.

(Bottle). Huge resiny and citrus hops aroma. Orange-amber body, off-white head. Flavor is medium-sweet citrus (lemon and orange) plus malt. Nowhere near the bitterness of, say, DFH. Almost closer to an APA. Subtle dry finish. Refreshing, but not eye-popping.
