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.

Insanely hopped ale with a decent malt backbone. Darkish golden color with a sour finish. A lot of bite.

the six pack i had was very well carbonated. the head from a very slow easy pour down the side of the glass was stronger than the head of a root beer float, pretty damn strong! intense fruity hop aroma and intense hop bitterness in the finish. a hint of malt sneaks through but does not do much. what i will remember about this beer was the huge head, not the flavor.

Beautiful hazy orange color. Great grapefruit/apple/bitter flavor/aroma. I was a little afraid of this beer from the reviews and the fact that I do not usually like IPA’s, but I found this drink very enjoyable.

Dark Amber color, small head. Fully hopped, medium malts. A nice hoppy full-bodied IPA. Hoppy without being too bitter. Good flavor. Aftertaste is clean and crisp. Aftertaste is hoppy, mostly bitter

this is a great ipa. had it several time on draft. they used to serve it at the maritime music hall in san francisco being the only beer on draft. nice copper brown hue with tanny brawn head. nice cascadesque nose of pine and citrus. flavors explode onto the tongue with tangy bitterness. evenly balanced with maltiness. good!

Pours a clear orange/pinkish color body with a clingy, white foam on top. Aroma was sweet citrus and piney hops. It seems that all of the hop flavors are balancing each other out. You get about a half of a second of every flavor associated with hops. Never enough of any to really make me jump but all around a very well/over balanced ipa. Great session brew!

12oz. brown bottle. Pours medium clear orange, lasting white cap, two fingers in height, leaves good lace. Grapefuit hops are present in the aroma, though light. Flavour starts with fruity malt, some sweetness, grapefruit and orange hop notes mid way through then finishes with medium grapefruit bitterness. Good session ale.

A very mild aroma with grassy notes. Pours amber and leaves behind fine lacing. The taste produces citrus hops aplenty, crisp and refreshing. The malt is mild and not obtrusive leaving hops in the forefront. A nice pleasant hops bitter in the finish. Not a single off-note in this beer.
