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.

Re-rate pending.

Amber colour, big hop aroma. Very woody, earthy flavours from both the malt and the hops. Long, dry finish. Quality IPA.

Copper color. The aroma is quite fruity (apricots). The mouthfees is quite thin; anyway there is some malt taste, dry; the hops have some aromas and fruitness, but have been added without soul. Medium bitterness, not too much; some late hop resin.

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.

The aroma is good pine hoppy, but it’s got an additional smell that’s a bit off. The flavor is pretty hoppy, but then there’s some buttery taste up front and a sour lemony flavor later. Based on the other ratings, I wouldn’t be surprised if we got a skunked bottle -- i sure hope so.

Bottled. Muddy brown, floating yeast, huge beige cloudy head. Hoppy aroma with metal and berries. Liquerish-like palate, very fruity yeasty, nutty, slightly unfermented. Hops rise in the aftertaste, which is still a bit sweet.

Nice orange-golden color and a nice. creamy head. The aroma has some spicy hops, grass and resin. The flavour is sweetish, fruity with notes of flower and caramel, grass, resin and a rather tart grapefruit, that continues in the finish. 2252
