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.

a very good IPA. Pours out a coppery color with a small beige head. aroma was full of hops and grassy with a bit of sweetness to it. Flavor was very refreshing. It wasnt over the top with hops and had a nice lasting flavor to it. over all a very nice brew.

Bought in the 22 oz brown bomber..with "Unlimited Release" on the label :-). OG 1.059..IBU 45.6 Pours a beautiful orangy amber colour, small head but it lingers..slightly hazy..all in all good IPA appearance. Mmmmm the aroma of this "IPA" is different from most of this style I have had.I smell hops alright but also there is a strong sweet malt aroma..almost even a honey/flowery sweetness aroma. The taste is pleasant..but its definatlly light on the hops for an IPA..theresmore of a malt palate than is usual..but its pleasant. Good creamy , smooth feel on the tongue This beer is probably closer to an American Pale Ale than an IPA, because of its light hoppiness..but its a certainlly a tasty brew and well worth a try!

This stuff has the cascades written all over it. Nothing but prominent hops, a pretty good IPA, but nothing to write home about.

Golden ambe rusty in colour with a thin quickly discipating white head. Nose is hoppy and grapefruity , taste is pretty good too. Hops with some grapefruity. Remember when you get hair spray in your mouth? Well, this is it, only in a good way.

Slightly murky amber color. Thin head. Complex citrusy sweet hoppy aroma engulfs the nostrils. Sharp hoppy flavor bites into the tongue. Actually a bit addicting, time for another bottle.

On tap at rattle n hum. Candi sugar and citrus hop aroma. Taste is tart, sugary, and grapefruit bitterness. A solid medium body, somewhat creamy. Slightly better than I expected.

BOTTLE SAYS I BEST. WONDERFUL MALTY SWEETNESS, GENUINE, AND PACKED FULL OF FLAVOR. GREAT MOUTHFEEL NOT THICK OR THIN. A MASSIVE HOP ASSAULT. ALL THE SPOILS OF A WONDERFUL BEER WAR. TREAT YOURSELF.
