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.

Bottled. Hazy reddish orange appearance with low white foam. Hoppy aroma of orange-peels, grass and nectarines. dryish flavour of nectarines grass and grapefuit. with a solid citric bitterness.

Bottle: Good west coast IPA. Lots of bitter citrus and grapefruit hops in the aroma. Cascade hops dominate the taste, nice and citrus/grapefruity yet crisp taste. The caramel malt provides a consistent base to the high levels of hops. Not amazing, but a very solid example of this style.

Pours a completely clear light amber color with a thick creamy head of 3 fingers. Aroma of spicy hop. Really nice aroma. Flavor is typical of a west coast IPA. Spicy, pungent yet crisp. I haven’t had a standard ipa in awhile. Something seems a little off, but that could just be me. A nice IPA. I might have to revist again in the future.

Color is hazy, ethereal orange, with a 3/4 inch diminishing off-white head, small bead and some lacing. Aromas are orange citrus, white bread, and a walnut/almond nuttiness. Upon tasting, a floral hop quality, sourdough, and some soapy alcohol notes make up the flavor profile. Mouthfeel is thick and somewhat creamy, with a strong hop bite and a fading, effervescent hop/malt finish. Overall, a decent, complex IPA. Maybe not as assertive and hop-dense as the big boys, but a must-have on any comprehensive tasting to show off flavor and palate.

Pours amber with a thin white head and little lacing. Smells really neat like bitter cherries and some hops to the smell as well. Tastes a littler bitter and hoppy moderately bitter/long aftertaste but a fairly unimpressive flavor, lagunitas maximus is better. Palate fairly unimpressive but not bad. Decent IPA but nothing special.

Dark orange-bronze color with a thin head. Light fruity maly aroma with some citrus hops. Very fruity flavor--almost a hint of peach tea--with a very subdued hops edge and some nice creeping hops bitterness in the finish. Fairly full-bodied and well-balanced but lacks real crispness.

Bottle. Pours a nice amber color with medium white head and a lot of carbonation too. The aroma is very citrusy with hints of grass. Nice lacing on this one and a very sweet taste with a smooth finish. A great IPA.
