Commercial Description:
...created to aid in deciphering the puzzles along life's road, and interpreting signs in the voyages of the spirit. Brewed in homage to the wisdom of visionaries everywhere who blaze paths into uncharted territories. Our take on an India Pale Ale (IPA.) A deep golden amber ale with a rich up-front malty nose finishing with a big, hoppy bite. Dry-hopped to finish with a big fresh (Cascade) hop flavor. Fermented with our 150 year old strain of top-fermenting yeast.

In all fairness this probably deserves a re-rate at another time. Had it at the end of RAF and i was so sick of one-dimensonal hoppy beers that this one just pissed me off. Is it too much to ask for some malt flavor in an IPA? I mean seriously...

Bottle. Pours an amber body with a white head. Big grassy floral notes up front, with a light spiciness. Light citrus and bready grain backbone with some malt.

Heard this one is on the way out so I figured I had better give a try before it is no more. Pours a slightly hazy golden color with about a finger’s worth of white head. Smell is definitely of citrusy hops. Taste is more of the same with some floral undertones. Nothing too deep and complex. A bit watery with not too much substance to it. The feel is crisp and tingly, rather nice. This is an alright brew. I usually am not big on drinking beer with food, but I don’t think I would have this any other way. Nothing outstanding but it was worth trying. Definitely not as strong and full of character as others of the style. Reviewed on: 04-12-2007

Very hoppy beer, of course as are most IPAs...not being a fan of most IPAs, this was decent for the genre.

Copper pour decent head that leaves a nice lace behind. Piney aroma. Malty sweet up front with a cascade hop finish. Good, but a far cry from some others I’ve had

Had this one a while ago. It was a solid, but unspectacular beer. Pretty hoppy.
