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 Jans Wine and Boos #2 (Tampa, FL). Pours a hazy amber copper color with thin white head. Aroma is sweet and floral with notes of citrus, pine, grapefruit, tangelos, apricots, hint of spice. Flavor is sweet and floral with notes of malt, citrus, caramel, pine, hints of grapefruit and floral hops. Generally medium body with a pleasing floral hop finish.

Bottle, shared by Taylor. Thanks dude. Golden orange with a small white head. Nice floral hoppy nose. Flavor is bitter- earth and pine, and a slight buffalo chicken wing thing. Really strange. Bitter finish.

From a 22 oz. bomber with a blurb along the right side of label, no freshness date. Poured a cloudy orangey, golden hued amber with a foamy, fluffy off-white head that settled in a thin bubbly lacing. Aromas of grain and caramel, a soft hoppiness, floral, citric, pine and a light leafiness. Good carbonation and a crisp, dryish, smooth light-medium bodied mouthfeel. Overall, a balanced taste, sweet caramel malts and a light graininess, mildly piney, citric hops with a little tobacco leafiness, the hops have a soft, rolling bitterness in the palate, a subtle taste of alcohol towards the end and a dry hoppy and caramel finish. A tasty and balanced IPA, very quaffable on a Friday night, hoppy, but not a over hopped bomb, nice, easy drinkability.

Pale copper color; good head; resiny nose. Lots of oily hops in this one. predictable citrus tones. about what one would expect form a west coast ipa.

Amber with medium white slowly dissipating head. Aroma of citrus and floral hops with some caramel and pine. Decently balanced with enough malt to mix with the hops that do slightly win out in the end. Not an overpowering bitter finish, a little dry with notes of grapefruit & earthy hops.

on tap @ papago. rich golden pour with a thin long lasting white head. aromas of caramel, citrus, pine and bubble gum. flavor is orange, grassy, caramel and pine without being overly sweet or hoppy. finishes dry and piney. it lingers for a while. medium body and carbonation. almost a nice sessionable ipa.... the sugar would get a bit annoying after a while...7/3/7/3/15/3.5

Very tasty IPA, very well done, deep copper color with a slight orange tint, decent sized off-white head, sticky lacing around the glass, lots of earthy hops in the nose, medium body, very drinkable, great session beer, very well balanced, good malt profile to back up the hops, some notes of pine & earth in the flavors, very dry & bitter, especially in the finish and aftertaste, very good IPA
