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 copper amber with mild head, light hop citrus aroma. Light on the palate and bitterness, citrus on the back, good stuff.

12 oz. bottle. Pours a nice head, pleasant golden copper color, nose of spice, bit of pine, with malt overtones, initial tastes of spice, then hop bitterness.

Bottle pours clear amber with thin white head. Aroma is sweet malt. First taste is sweet fruit and malt with slight hops bitterness which balances out. There is a mild citruis hops finish and the carbonation is perfect.

On tap at Mcmenamins on the Columbia.
Pours medium amber in color with an off-white head and very clear. Very unique flavor. The hops are good and definitely there as well as a nice cinnamon spice note. Very interesting ginger soy sauce flavor. Not my first choice for an IPA but points for originality!

Not a fresh bottle. Had to pour slowly to keep the quarter inch of sediment down. Dark amber. Almost no head because of cautious pour. Lots of great flavors. Pine, citrus, bitter, yummmmmmmy.

Fantastic IPA. Crisp and clean. Citrus in the initial taste, somewhat spicy. Smooth, hoppy flavor in the finish.

Pours a cloudy dark golden color with a lush foamy head that clings to the side of the glass. Their are some chunks of yeast floating around in my glass as well! The aroma is very rich with toffee, caramel, citrus, and some pine. The palate is light on the carbonation and smaller than I would have predicted for a Lagunitas beer. The flavor seems skewed toward the malty for an IPA. Not bad, but different.

pours a clear copper with little head. Aroma strong of citrus, particularly grapefruit, orange, and lemon. Flavor is similar, with more hop bite and a nice bitter aftertaste. Tasty brew, different than your typical IPA, but still nice.
