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 nice deep amber color. Aromas of hops/hops/citrus. Strong hop flavors with malts and a dry finish.

Poured a cloudy copper with a fast disappearing white head. Nose was hoppy, grapefruit. Pine. Medium body with a smooth texture. Flavor was citric, a tad buttery. Not a bad beer.

Bottle from Pailhead. Lightly hazy and amber colored. Decent off-white head leaves good lacing. Aroma is piney, a touch earthy. Medium to light bodied. Caramel malt flavor balanced by piney hop flavor. Nothing exceptional.

Bottle from Foodery in Philly. Pours orange amber with a very thick off white head. Citrus hop aroma. Flavor of caramel and toffee offset by grapefruity hop bitterness. Nice beer.

Pours deep amber into a shaker. Nice head leaves lacing. Grass, floral and spruce aromas. Very strange -- almost slick with little flavor and then a big bitter finish.

Pours amber with a tanned head. Smells of caramel. Quite bitter. Hoppy aromas of pine and fruits. Medium to light bodied. Bitter + sweet finish. The 43 hops and 65 malts doesn´t change the fact that the main ingredient (too much) is water.

Flowery hops, light toasted malt, candi sugar and grassines sin the noise. I should have poured this more carefully - lots of floaties. Flavor is toasted malt at first, sharp bitterness follows on the the back of my tounge, but its got a sweet, grassy finish.

decent, the malts are nice but the hops kinda fall flat which is what they wanted to go on. still its some malts character with caramel flavor. enjoyable.
