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.

12 oz bottle from Princeton’s. Golden color, decent head and lacing. Sweet malty hoppy aroma. Sweet and slighty malty flavor with fair amount of hops but not too bitter. Sweet citrusy finish.

Pours a clear honey color. Aroma is very floral with strong hops. Strong floral hops on initial taste, which diminishes to a smooth finish that isn’t too overwhelming. Strong hops is well balanced in the finish.

0.355 l bottle at Stockholm Beer Festival 2009. Orange amber color. Juicy hop aroma with orange, mango and grapefruit. Bittersweet flavor with juicy grapefruity, mangoish and grassy hop. Firm but not very strong bitterness for an IPA. Slightly salty finish. Hoppy mouthfeel. Very juicy IPA.

An appealing golden color. Pours with a solid one inch head and nice lacing. Moderate spicy hop aroma. Strong malt backbone offsets the hops nicely. Finishes slightly spicy sweet. Loses some points as I prefer my IPAs with a higher gravity and much more aggressive hop profile. Still, this is a well-crafted beer that I would recommend for those that enjoy their IPAs on the lighter side.

12 oz. Bottle. Poured a nice golden color. Decent white head. Smelled of hops. Tasted of hops as well. Good IPA. Recommended.

Smooth..one of my personal favorites. Good hop favor, but not terribly strong. An IPA that I can have a couple of at a time.

This beer is too easy to drink. I’m surprised, because I drink alot of Lagunitas... And I’m not used to this lightness. Light aroma, light almost amber hop flavor, with only a hint of finish. This is a great summer beer...

Pours a golden color with a moderate amount of white head and some lacing. Good hops flavor nicely balanced with malt, although not as hoppy has they claim. Medium bodied, and an all around good IPA.
