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.

Clean throughout. This beer is a classic left coast IPA with clean hops coming through the nose with nice malt right through the middle - some friuty undertones supporting. Clean crisp bitterness on the finish as a trus IPA should be!

12oz bottle. Pours clear amber color with foamy off white head. Aroma of floral hops. Taste of grapefruit and with bitter after taste.

Pours nice amber, aroma of grapefruits, light malts and hops, linge of grassey pines. Formed medium foamy head. My mouth is watering. Initial impression is heaven. Simply a wonderful IPA beer. Easily sessionable. Wish I had a kegger of it.

Pours a brilliant orange-gold, with a lovely but short-loved head and nice lacing. Aroma is biscuity and lightly perfumey. Taste is surprisingly restrained; not as hoppy as o had expected, but still quite pleasant and balanced. Good carb, lightly creamy body. A nice light treat!

Cloudy amber color, flavor is dominated by pine, with some citrus hops, and some maltiness for balance, one of my favorite IPAs

I really liked this beer a lot! The aroma was citrusy, yet piney at the same time. Nice bronze color to the beer and poured me a thinner than expected head. The taste was surprisingly refreshing and the citrus aroma actually translated to a citrus taste from the hops. Finish was very crisp, I enjoyed this beer thoroughly..........

Pours dark amber with a large head. Fresh citrus and hops are the predominate aroma. Nice amount of hops, for an IPA. Not too dominate but, a significant part of the flavor profile.

Excellent true to character IPA. Slightly orange head, cloudy orange golden color. Smells of orange of pine. The 43 hops make this one incredibly rich. Tastes like a traditional IPA. Cheers!
