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 the Federal. Thought I had rated, but I guess not. Bright clear amber pour with gauzy foamy near-white head. Some citrus and tropical fruit hop notes; as piney as some of their other offerings. Good bit of grainy malt. Quite nice, with a smooth, crisp finish. Slick palate. Easy to drink.

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.

Bottle: Good west coast IPA. Lots of bitter citrus and grapefruit hops in the aroma. Cascade hops dominate the taste, nice and citrus/grapefruity yet crisp taste. The caramel malt provides a consistent base to the high levels of hops. Not amazing, but a very solid example of this style.

Totally thought I had rated this....then went to check my ratings and shockingly saw I haden’t. One of my favorite IPAs. Wonderful flower and pine notes that folds into that great malty taste. End with grapefruit and other citrus. Very nice. I think I’ll have another sip.

On tap at the Maple Leaf Grill in Seattle.

Pours a clear but saturated golden with an adequate head.

Palate is somewhat unsatisfying; aroma is fruity, as is the taste; fruit notes overwhelm the bitterness and the malts are are very scantly represented. This one is not as full as many of the better IPA competitors, though certainly pleasent enough to drink.

This is a solid IPA. It pours the deep copper color with a hoppy & grapefruity aroma. The hops bite at first sip just like they should. The only negative for me was the finish. This beer has a dry finish that left a bad taste.

I’m a IPA lover and this beer made me realize that. Its not as strong as the other IPA’s I’ve had but thats okay cuz with this one I had a few and did’nt get sick of it. I’m a weirdo so you can call me that when i say the burps from this beer tasted yummy and licking the resin of this beer off my lips was good too. Not a easy beer to find in my areas

Draught at Woody’s in downtown Raleigh. Pours copper, with a medium white head, and lacing. Aroma is very hoppy, with a bit of pine and grapefruit. Flavor is similar, with a decent malk backbone and caramel. Excellent beer.
