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.

Tap. Nice IPA that looks golden and amber with a nice head. This is a very hoppy IPA, flowery aroma and a bitter finish. It has a rich mouthfeel and is very pleasing on the palate.

hazy orange with some sediment, nice amount of white foamy head, good hops nose, not overwhelming, but nice, very citrus, crisp body, with a nice balance of malts to combat the strong hop quality, nice session IPA

12 oz bottle. A slight unclear deep golden colored beer with a fully diminishing near-white head. Fresh fruity and hoppy aroma; sweet grapefruit, tangerines and tropical. Grassy, light piney hops. Notes of peppermint and sweet nutty malts.Taste is not that complex, but has fine distinct bitterness and leaves some likeable flavors of citrus and refined malts. Lasting fruity-bitter finish. Loveable.

A light brown with maybe some reddish orange hints. Aroma was originally a little citrusy and then ended up florally by the end. The flavor was a little sweet and then just a lot of hoppiness. The bitterness on this was awesome too. I know this is in ipa but the body seemed a little thin. Good beer.

Very tasty IPA. Full of hop flavor, citrus, caramels, and a slight spiceness reminicent of nutmeg. Nothing out of the ordinary here, just a solid IPA.

Pours a clear amber with a nice crème head that falls but leaves lots of lace. The nose is that intense piney perfume. Flavor is hoppy, but a bit of a tart edge hits me and I can’t say I like it that much. As I dwell on it, it seems almost wood like. Interesting? Yes. My favorite? No. Feel has a slightly higher level of carbonation to it that gives a bit of a bite and the liquid is well bodied. Overall this is a nice IPA, but that slightly woody tart thing that is going on kind of knocks it down a bit in my book.

On tap at the brewery. Crisp and hoppy. Decent amount of grapefruit character. Better than your average IPA but nothing extreme.
