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.

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.

Light and refreshing. Not heavy on bitter by any means (caution I like hops). This has a different taste that i find interesting. This is by no means as good as Racer 5 or Founders but it is good in taste and for being unique.

Bottle in the rake. Alround rating: Excellent balance of american caramalt and tangerine lychee hop. I could have sunk these all day but we only had like 6 bottles and i stupidly upsold them all.
