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.

Golden hazy in color, pours in with white head with medium head retention. Nice hoppy flavor but could be more. Malts are not well balanced against the hops.

I split a large bottle of this with my mother-in-law, and since she is a pretty cool mother-in-law, she really liked this. Without being too careful in pouring, it produced a huge head. The aroma was interesting--I thought it had a martini or Gin & Tonic-like aroma, plus something fruity--someone else has said mango, and that may be right. The flavor is well...IPA...you know...hoppy, somewhat (but not overpoweringly) bitter. Not complex, but nice.

12 oz bottle. Pours out clear amber, with a fluffy, two finger tan head that lasts and lasts. When it finaly does start to recede, it leaves rings of sticky lace.
Aroma is sweet malt up front, with some grapefruit and orange oil as it warms.
Flavor is lightly malty, around some citrusy hops.
Finish is mildly bitter.
Nicely balanced, will definately buy again.

Citric, slightly herbal leafy hop aromas, solid maltiness, tannic tea-like bitterness. Dryish, but big mouthfeel. Very nice!

Orange color with bubbly white head. Aroma is slightly hoppy. Fairly well carbonated. Flavor is dminated by green vegetable flavor and citrus. Fairly thin and refreshing.

Poured a dark burnt orange color with a lot of yeasty sediment and a very frothy head that lasted the whole beer. A slight citrus aroma with hops over-riding. A bitter hop flavor and some malts. A good full mouthfeel. Great amount of carbonation. Nice overall.

Gorgeous orange-amber color with thick white head and nice lacing. Nice sweet malts and balancing hops. Full bodied and lightly carbonated. Good IPA

From Hollingshead Deli in Orange, CA. Not a bad IPA at all. Pours a murky golden amber color with a thick off-white head. The foamy head lasted quite a while. Nice lacing as well. Floral hops aroma. Flavor is very citrusy, and the hops are really not as bold as the glass progresses. Nicely bitter finish. Doesn't have the "snap you with a wet towel" hops that the great IPAs have but otherwise this beer is just fine.
