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.

Not a bad brew. Caramel, hops, and some fizzy wizzy. Honey coloured pour with a hint of rusty pipes. Some smooth malt hints, but mainly flat pine. Not supper hoppy though, so that was rather a sad note. But enjoyably sessionable.

12 oz. Bottle, pours a honey copper gold with some red at the edges, has a lot of little specks in it otherwise it is clear, a white head, pine with some floral fragrances and malty sweetness, faint vanilla aroma, sip starts with malt sweetness and hop citrus grapefruit mixed with some pine needles, sweetness is nutrilized and finishes with a pine bitterness, mouth feel is a little thin, this was an ok IPA, nothing real exciting.

Sweet pine resin on the nose, with hints of citrus. Pours pale gold with little to no head. Sweet upfront, but wow the hops kick in, good piney flavors with grapefruit and bitter orange peel in the flavor. A good session IPA, i like this one.

bottle: pours a clear filtered apple juice with a medium white head. aroma is a citrus hops and some earthy hops also very little malt if any. flavour actually starts a little watery and weak then into the citrus hopsa and some sweet malt in the back. just a small amount of bitter in the finish a very subtlle ipa not strong in anything but goes down very very easy.

Pours a nice orangish color. A nice hoppy scent and taste. A pretty good IPA.

Nice balance of malt and hops with a light citrus finish. The colour is a orangish cooper. The smell is citrus, pine, and hops. The aftertaste stays with you in a good way.

Bottle. Very little in the way of aroma. Flavor was very muted hops and malt. I’m thinking I drank this one past it’s prime, will have to try a fresh one.

Forms a slightly thin head with little retention. It did form nice lacing and good aromas full of pine, citrus, and a slight biscuit smell. It had a nice malty taste, bread dough, biscuit, caramel, and a lot of other hints of flavors that were hard to distinguish. The hops are a bit misleading, as its hard to determine the exact resinous flavors that they come with...its not quite bitter enough, but its still tasty and complex
