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.

On tap at The Half Pint, NYC. Golden body with tall head. Notes of hops and citrus. Lots and lots of hop in the taste. Really nice. With malts in evidence too. Silky finish. A delight.

Very complex and deep IPA. Has a very dry aftertaste but is not as bitter as it seems with all the malts and hops used. Is a very good IPA

Bottle. Typical dry IPA with citrus nose and grassy hoppy flavor. Tight carbonation. Pretty good, but blends in with the IPA crowd.

A: Copper orange color with a medium head that settles down perfectly. A few bubbles rise to the top helping to keep a lilly pad like head and there is some lacing left behind as it is consumed. S: Not a lot of aroma, but what’s here is nice. A bready sweet maltiness is right up front. The hop aroma is noted, but not overpowering. The hops show up smelling like pungent flowers and cut grass. T: A very nice yet mild IPA. It starts off kind of sweet and malty, but only for a moment. Then the hops kick in. The IBU’s can’t be very high. There is a hint of bitterness with a dab of pine. M: Medium bodied and easy drinking.

Bottle. Pours clear gold with a medium off-white head. Sweet malt nose with some earthy hops. Citrus and grassy hop flavor up front giving way to sweet malt before a bitter finish.

Draft at redlight redlight. Very good though mild IPA. Great starting beer. Lots of grapefruit in the nose, a little pine. Really not any hoppier than the New Dog Town. Would need to try them back to back to really compare. Nice hop flavor but not aggressive. I’m into it.

Bottle. Pours a nice copper color with a thin, foamy, white head that slowly fades. Taste is of hops, pine, citrus, grapefruit, caramel and some malt. Similar aroma. Easy to drink and leaves me wanting more. Not a bad beer and is worth picking up again.

12 ounce bottle. Pours a clear amber color with a moderate cream head that leaves a sticky web of a lacing. Aroma is dominated by citrus and pine notes with caramel lying underneath them. Taste is the same, with the citrus and pine notes being more pronounced, and the caramel barely being noticable.
