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.

not my favorittet style but a darn good version of an IPA west coast style. Nice bitter taste with a clean finish.

Clear, amber body with a fluffy off-white head. Moderately hoppy aroma of pine, grapefruit, caramel, grains, and a touch of residual sweetness. The body is pretty damn good for an IPA. Not too thick, but not lacking in any qualities either. The flavor is good and certainly tasty. The malt is sweet and robust, with a bitter, piney flavor that makes things interesting. I could drink this with some regularity, methinks.

The summer smell of freshly cut lawns and big piles of grass clippings blend brilliantly with a musky hint of lime and avocados. The presentation is nice, a deep gold wit a bright white razor thin cap. I really like the start of this, a smooth refreshing lemon-lime bittersweet tounge. The end however, is kind of strange. Although I enjoy the smell of freshly cut grass, I don’t particularly enjoy tasting it. A bit of a grassy exit, after a good bitter up swell.

Clean, crisp, smooth, and not overly hoppy. Nice little head. Very piney aroma.

22 oz bottle. Pours a nice red amber with a decent head with tons of lacing. You can smell the strong hops aroma when you pour it into a glass. There is a nice balance of carmel malt and hops, but I like my IPA’s with more of a bite. Citrus and pine linger on the palate. Overall: not bad, not great.

12-oz bottle. Copper color with a persistent thick head, white with orange lacing. You first notice the nicely hopped aroma as a promise of complexity that will be unfortunately not fulliflled. A very well balanced, very capable IPA. If i had to chose among many macro-brewed IPAs i would pick this one...
