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.

gold-copper with medium orange head, leaves lacing. Citrisy and fruity hop aroma, bitter taste but not extraordinarily so for an IPA, some malt sweetness with a long dry finish. creamy mouthfeel.

Poured a copper-orange color with medium head. Citrus flavors matched the color for a very balanced Pale. IPA’s aren’t normally my thing, but Laguinitas make a hell of a beer. It was very smooth and drinkable.

Pours an orange color with the smell of citrus. Although not my favorite type of beer I’ll try to be objective. Very hoppy and the taste of citrus orange was the most prevalent flavor. Very bitter, but not bad for an IPA

Pours a nice copper color with a thick long lasting white head. Hop aroma just billows out of the glass, like sticking your nose in a bag of hops. A few more whiffs and I get some malty caramel notes, also. Taste is nice and hop bitter. Not a lot of malt, but enough to balance out the the powerful hops. Finishes very clean with just a touch of the hop bitterness. Very smooth and drinkable.

Hazy pale amber with tiny short lasting head. Hoppy aroma with fruity and caramel notes. Flavor is mild sweet with hoppy end. Thanks for sharing Joergen.

22 oz bomber. Amber beer with a thick white head. Aroma is well-balanced. Caramelly malts with some light grapefruity hop aroma. Fruity hop flavour on the front, grapefruit and light orange/pine. Simple, fresh, tasty IPA.

Bottle. Pours hazy golden orange with thick head. Aroma is grapefruit and hops, very pleasant. Flavor is grapefruit and floral, very crisp and refreshing. Cleans palate with very little aftertaste. A good, sessionable IPA.

Pours a completely clear light amber color with a thick creamy head of 3 fingers. Aroma of spicy hop. Really nice aroma. Flavor is typical of a west coast IPA. Spicy, pungent yet crisp. I haven’t had a standard ipa in awhile. Something seems a little off, but that could just be me. A nice IPA. I might have to revist again in the future.
