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.

Pours a hazy golden amber with small floaties and an average foamy off white head. Aroma of iced tea, some citrus from the hops, caramel malt but really nothing too stand out. Not sure how old this bottle was. Picked it up at the local six pack shop...but I don’t have too much faith in how quickly they turn over products. Onto flavor...pretty much the same iced tea, malt sweetness and some decent hop bitterness. Not much hop flavor.

Bottle from Ølbutikken. Lovely golden beer with rocky head. Aroamtic and bitter hops, fruit, pines, the works. Full sweet body underneath.

Poured gold in a tall Magic Hat #9 glass with a nice head. Soapy, floral aroma. Taste is good, but a little dull. If it had the same taste kicked up, they'd have something. Well balanced with a nice dry and sweet finish.

Bottle. Small ivory fizzy head that mostly diminished, spotty amount of lacing, mostly transparent, and visible carbonation. Nose was mildly malty, sweet, and citrus hops. Flavor was malty, some caramel, hoppy but not overly so, citrus-grapefruit. Fairly smooth mouthfeel and light-mediumm body. A nicely balanced IPA and one that I enjoyed because it was not over-the-top hops since I am not a hophead. Would drink this one in the future and worthy of a try.

Rerate Much better on tap a few miles from the brewer in Sonoma, California. Good citrusy hoppiness. Original 3.3 Interesting hard to place aroma - slightly fruity. Very light amber appearance with a decent size white head. Tongue-numbing grapefruity flavor - sticks with you for a while. Fruity aftertaste. Overall a decent IPA - nothing really separates it from the rest of the pack though - had better from this brewer.

Draught. Clear copper color with off white head. Pretty standard IPA. Big citrusy hop nose and flavor with assertive bitterness at the end.

Draft at an Irish pub in Berkeley, CA. Pours orangish with a light white head. The aroma is hoppy citrus. The taste is big very big on the hops for a regular IPA. Nice overall feel great IPA.

Bottled. Clear orange golden color, short head. Aroma of some hop and grapefruit, hint of caramel. Bit fruity as well. Taste is only moderately bitter, firm malty body. Crisp. Nice IPA.
