Commercial Description:
It’s not as heavy bodied and malty as many IPA’s, in contrast the palate is more crisp and dry. If you consider yourself a "hop-head" you owe it to yourself to grab this beer.

12 oz bottle from gas station. Cloudy and murky. Sweet smell and aftertaste. A very good beer. I should try their other products.

Both bottle and on tap. This is a consistently brewed and highly drinkable IPA. The hops are predominant but it is well balanced. This beer makes it worth living in Marshall, Michigan!!

Bottle. Watch your pour - plenty of yeast in the bottle. Sweet, citrus-hoppy aroma: mandarin orange and cookie dough with a zippy lime essence to balance it out. This beer’s malt sweetness level is great for the style. It’s dry enough to let the hops take center stage but not too dry where it’s unbalanced and no mouthfeel. The malting is your basic pale with a touch of crystal while the hops of of the grapefruit rind zest variety. Resinous finish. A great IPA to keep in the fridge.

Murky dark orange pour with a quickly receding head. Citrus, pine and fruity aroma. Nice hoppy taste. More citrus than anything else, but there is also a very light toastiness from the malt, which is as light as advertised. Very pleasant to drink. Not so much a hop bomb, just an enjoyable hoppy experience without exceedingly strong resinous aftertaste. This take on an IPA is very appealing to me. Very enjoyable.

Bottle. Pour is a light golden color, slightly cloudy, with a nice sized off white head that hangs on. Aroma is typica IPA, grapefruit, pine, floral. Taste is more of the same grapefruit, pine, floral. Palate is crisp, light to medium bodied, refreshing. Very good.

Next to Two Hearted, this is one of the best IPA’s Ive had. Crisp wtih floral and piney hops. Gotta love bottle conditioning. Lots of sediment and dark murkiness. I love it!

Thanks Secret Santa. Great pine and floral aroma. Hazy copper body with decent head. Crisp dry citrus grapefruit flavor. Like the syupy one bettter but this was a good beer after an eight hour shift. Cool and crisp on the palate with some dryness but nothing a glass of water for hydrayion can’t heal. Thanks.

12 oz bottle. Hazy apricot leaves a big melted marshmallow with spotty lace. Pine, orange blossum and caramel. Taste is malt up front then marmalade. Light spicy drying. Finally a little anise and grapefruit.
