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.

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.

Clear almost golden yellow with a sticky off-white head that rose up fast at first and lasted the whole glass. The smell is slightly hoppy and sweet. The taste is hoppy but not quite “homicidally hoppy” as the label indicates but it is bitter. The carbonation seems a little low but makes the drinkability go up. This stuff goes down smooth.

Pours amber orange ale with frothy but quickly receding white head. Aroma is sweet malt with a bit of pine. Good IPA with balanced maltiness. Tart with pine notes and nice brisk bitterness at the finish.

Copper blond with a very fresh hop aroma. The bitterness takes over any malt profile but remains well balanced. Good IPA but the fresh aroma is the real winner in this.

Draught on 28th July 2009 at Rattle & Hum, NYC. Clear gold with good white lacing head. Grassy hop and some floral aromas then deliciously hoppy throuhg to a LONG satisfying finish - very good characteristics for a US IPA.

This bottled brew from a bottle shop poured a medium sized head of foamy fine to medium sized bubbles that were mostly lasting and left behind a hazy with fine particulate softly carbonated and a good lacing. The mild aroma was hoppy and floral. The mouth feel was tingly at the start and at the finish with a mellow hoppy aftertaste. The mild flavor contained notes of hops. An OK brew just nothing special.

Aroma and flavor both have notes of grass, herbal and pine with a hint of resin. Some malt is present underneath the hops. Pretty decent session IPA.

Light citrus. Bitterness. Bright orange body. Overall light sweetness that lingers. Nice IPA.
