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.

Bottle split with Pat. Pours a dark hazy orange body with nice white head. The aroma is delicious hop. The mouth feel is medium and great. The taste is filled with flavors of citrus hop, with a smooth, crisp finish.

Bottle pours amber with an off-white head. Aroma smells of oranges, caramel, and what seems like peanut brittle. Brittle characteristic not present in the flavor, primarily just caramel, orange, and mango. Starts sweet and finishes slightly dry. Not a bad IPA, but there are plenty of better ones out there. Completely lacks complexity when it comes to mouthfeel.

Bottle. 12 oz. Pours murky amber. Aroma of hops, malt, barley, and citrus. Medium body, with a smooth finish. Great IPA.

Bottle. Darker amber color topped by a thin white head. Light sweet orange hop aroma reminds me of jolly ranchers and indeed the flavor starts off very sweet and fruity...then some caramel malts and an easy short bitter finish. Crisp and refreshing and not overwhelming on the hops.

[2495-20090926] Tap. Navel orange hops aroma is a little grainy. Slightly hazy, orange amber body with a quick foamy off-white head. Sweet navel orange hops flavour has grainy bitter hops. Medium body is bitter. Wow, awesome game beer.

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.
