12 oz. bottle. Pours a clear amber with an average off-white head that lasts throughout. Fair lacing. The aroma is citrus and floral hops. Nice grapefruity hop taste balanced by the malt. Bitter, grassy finish. Medium body. Soft carbonation. Tasty pale ale.

One of my favorite IPA’s. has enough maltiness to be tasted through the hops.

pretty good ipa, has a subtle citruy/pine presence with a mild amount of hops, decent body, and easy drinking.

bottle - Pours copper with a one finger head and an aroma of caramel malt and citrus hops. The moderately bitter flavor has good grapefruit notes and a nice malt balance. IPA, huh? I thought it was an American Pale. It’s good either way, but the flavor profile had me thinking really good APA.

Yeah, this has much the same malt profile as all other great lakes beers. Hop flavor is pretty nice, but not too bitter. Flavor is very well-balanced for a pale. Its alright, though doesn’t knock your socks off.

On tap and in bottle. Pours a orangish red color. Smell is of grapefruit and orange. Taste is fairly, but not very hoppy balanced with smooth malt and citrus like the aroma. No bitter aftertaste and no alcohol taste. This is one, if not my favorite beer of all time. It is perfectly hopped without being bitter nor bland. It is a must have for those liking IPAs. You will not be disappointed.

Poured a light amber color with a very small head. Smelled a lot like citrus and hops. Tasted really bitter but with a small, underlying balance of malt. A very good beer.
