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.

12oz - Aroma is citrus hops and a summer wind through a pine forest. Pours cloudy orange with medium head and good lacing. Flavor is interesting with the pine, citrus and earthy hops blending together with caramel and some sweet malt to balance it out. Palate is crisp and smooth. Just different enough to stand out and pretty tasty too.

Transluminate honey color. Maintains a 1/4" head. Citrus bite and finish. Oily mouthfeel. Pretty standard IPA.

pretty good, piney aroma golden color with white frothy head. Flavor was hoppy but not over bitter. Its only draw back was that it seemed somewhat watered down it did not have a fullness on the tounge.

Bottle poured dark amber with a smallish head and spotty lacing. Aroma was malty with very small aroma of hops. Flavor is more citrus than hops, I could use a bit more hops in this beer but it is good and easy drinking.

Nicely balanced but surprisingly small for a Lagunitas and surprisingly small for a west coast IPA. The right flavors are all there, but it lacks the intense bitterness, intense citrus, intense pine I expected ... but it looks great, with a wonderful creamy mouth. Enjoyable.

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

Bottle. Pours clear gold with a medium off-white head. Bready and sweet malt nose with some earthy hops. Citrus and grassy hop flavor up front giving way to sweet malt before a bitter finish.

Bottled. Amber color with a small white head. Nice hop aroma with a lot of citrus. Somewhat bitter hop flavor that is balanced fairly well with the malt. Dry finish.
