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.

“Oh yeah baby”, lots of “Little Fernies” a floatin’ in this beer, a hazy amber color the head modest, the texture frothy, the color and off white with a nice covering of lace. Sweet malt, light hop floral tone also noticed, quite sniffable, sweet malt start, the top moderate in feel. Finish has a definite acidic bite, the hops potent in their spicy bite, dry and long lasting aftertaste. A great beer from a great brewery got a couple of its bigger brother aging away, and that would be “Maximus”!

Medium gold with slight cloudiness, pleasant citrus, hoppy nose. Alhough balanced a bit on the hops side, this not a problem at all - the interesting malt flavors are there to enjoy. A very good IPA.

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.

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.

Floral piney, tea nose. Very lovely honey amber, with particles in suspension. Small whitish head dalmost completely disappears, yet leaves nice lacing. Earthy, fainttly caramel malts, woody, medium body, great mouthfeel, more earthen dusty hops, with a resinous finish. A darn nice brew I must say. Well balanced I must say.

Large offwhite head, excellent retention. Lacing is coating and webby. Clear copper color. Nose is a bit grassy, piney and a hint citrusy. Medium bodied, crisp on the palate. Dry maltiness, biscuity with inky, piney hop flavors balancing the malts out. Medium acidity and a touch resiny. Finish is dry, a touch fruity with a clean hop bite. An easy drinkin IPA. Solid. Props to jake65 for the bomber!

Good aroma, and good appearance. Great taste, very smooth and refreshing. Great after taste. Just makes you want to take another drink.
