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. Light amber coloured with a nice lasting white head. Aromas of pine, grapefruit and some sweet malt. Flavour of bitter hops, caramel and more hops.

Orange-blonde with a medium bubbly head. Has lots of classic IPA smell, citron, hops, and hops. Flavor is a bit on the bitter side, and I can’t taste the fruit as well as I would like. Flavors of cardamom and nutmeg as well as hops. A bit fizzy, which gets in the way of the flavor. It’s not bad, all things considered. Smells better than it tastes.

Clear, golden-amber with lasting head. Fresh citrus-grapefruit, and mild caramel notes. Mild sweet malt caramel and citrus-grapefruit hops. Refreshing, with the expected bitter finish.

bottle. pours hazy orange with white head. a piney grapefruity nose. flavors are grapefruit and pine. very solid drinkable american example of the style. nothing really surprising but it does the job a good ipa does.

An okay IPA. More ingredients than usually = a bit over average, which means it’s delicious and nice with its fresh wellhopped flavor. Nice and more..

Amber with medium white slowly dissipating head. Aroma of citrus and floral hops with some caramel and pine. Decently balanced with enough malt to mix with the hops that do slightly win out in the end. Not an overpowering bitter finish, a little dry with notes of grapefruit & earthy hops.

I haven’t rated this one yet? This was recommended to me b the guys at Willow Bend Liquors in Lutz, FL. Compared to the Dogfish varieties 60/90. An incredible IPA with a fresh and perfectly intense hoppy taste balanced by malts. This is smooth and refreshing. An incredibly good IPA if not one of the best on the market.

I think this is a solid IPA with great flavor. It’s not overpowering with hops.
