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.

Full nose of citrus fruit and caramel malts. Lightly sweet body with caramel notes evolving into light grapefruit and light hops. Not overwhelming, but the finish thins out a bit.

On draft at McGregor’s. Gorgeous looking orange with thick creamy head. Standard full aroma of grapefruit. Very nice balanced malty and hoppy palate. Loved it. Had again at the Dinosaur with some spicy food. Worked very well with the food.

[Bottled from Fish and beer, Copenhagen.] Deep amber with a creamy, tan head. Soft, grassy, smooth, hoppy aroma and flavour with light toffee. Slightly vinous with a dry, medium bitterness.

Bottled. Average head, pretty white. Nice, thick lacing and well lasting head. Almost clear honey body with some small particals. Smells of apricots and wet straw. Taste is apricots, almost imperceptibly sweet; finish is dry and rather bitter, some grapefruit rind. Mouthfeel is nice; wet, soft creamy carbonation...makes your mouth water; very nice medium body. Overall: there's no sweet(I think apricots, I want sweet), lots of bitter, very dry and really interesting flavor with sugarless apricot.

Bottle. Two finger off white head capping a cloudy light brown/dark gold body. Strong hop nose. Typical IPA flavors-bitter hops, some citrus, a heavy dose of lemon, and a little salty taste (!!!). The salt taste fits in really well with the overall taste. Finish is quick and crisp, like lemonade. This is a very smooth drinkable IPA. I Would gladly have 10 or 12 more.

Pours a orange-copper color with light white head and minimal lacing. Piney aroma is very prevalent upon pour, after it settles a bit, a grapefuit flavor emerges. Not as hoppy as expected but still nice, touched by a hint of malt. Very light on the palate and light to medium bodied. Pretty good brew.
