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.

Bottle. Pours a clear amber colour with an off-white head. Malty hoppy aroma with hints of pine needles. Sweet malty hoppy bitter flavor. Dry hoppy bitter finish with a long bitter aftertaste.

Copper upon pouring. Thick, off-white head. Aromas of big hops, tons of citrus (grapefruit and pineapple) and some pepper. Tastes full bodied with tons of lupulin and a finishing burst of hops and citrus plus a final black pepper hit on the tonsils. Marvelous.

Light amber beer with a nice frothy off-white head. Lemon and herbal hop aroma, actually a hint of lemon tea for a moment. Some orange and peach lingers in the background. Malty flavour with a bunch of bitterness coming very quickly, and again that strange tea-note.

The head is thin and collapses quickly, but you are assaulted by wonderful hops, and grapefruits on the nose. Orangy hazy light brown. Beautiful rich body, with the hops and citrus cutting thorugh the malt in harmony...Hops heaven...excellent beer!

Head is initially average sized, frothy, off-white, mostly lasting. Body is medium amber. Aroma is lightly malty (cookie), moderately hoppy (flowers, grapefruit, resin, orange). Flavor is moderately sweet, moderately acidic, moderately bitter. Finish is lightly sweet, moderately acidic, heavily bitter. Medium body, velvety texture, lively carbonation, lightly astringent.

12 oz bottle. Medium amber, smallish head, fat lacing in the glass. Light aroma of grass, honey, mild herbs. Sweet beginning (peaches n honey), acerbic hops make their presence known quickly...the bite lasts throughout, but on the whole this doesn't have enough distinction to put it in the upper echelons of the IPA, IMHO. Pleasant, biting, ok.

i´ll have to try this on tap some time as it was a little uneven bottled. floral pine aroma was a little tamer than expected. quite bitter, a little lemony

Aroma of citrus, undertone of evergreen. Ripe apricot color with virtually no head. Starts with malt supported by piney hop. Arguably some citrus hop. Medium mouthfeel. Finish is rough malt balanced by hop bitter. Dry finish. It floats my boat.
