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.

Cask at the Horse Brass. Faint citrus fruit aroma. Light malt flavor, with grape, honey, yeast. Reasonable hop flavor with medium bitterness. Rather bland.

very little bitterness, nice hoppy and citrusy taste. Golden pour, very refreshing. On tap at My Big Fat Greek Restaurant in Tucson

tap @ Citi: not bad, but def not great. Though the hop level was too low... malt/ sugar level was too high creating a overly sweet, not as bitter an IPA as one would come to expect. Still a very solid beer, but the balance was too even, not enough lean on the hops. ***RnH*** "bitter front, all fruit in middle, dry crisp bitter end... caramel color, thin head ring, mild sweaty nose, almost creamy, full body feel, decent lacing." Way better experience than my previous try... was probably too wasted!

Yellow-copper with some cloudiness and light carbonation. Slow clear lacing. Hoppy, citrus-like aroma. Good clean mouthfeel with a slightly bitter, clean aftertaste.

I really liked this beer. Nice red-orange color with nice big white head. Aromas of hop, herbal, fruits(grapefruit). Taste is the same , plus some malty sense. Refreshing, nice body, medium bitter.

On tap at Beer Bistro late night. This pours an amber colr with thin creamy white head The aromas are mostly of carmel and grapefruit. Low hop bitterness with a citrus hop finish. Decent IPA but have had better.
