bottle from crizay: pours a light golden cooper with a small thin white head. good aroma of malt and fruit, slight hop aroma that is refreshing and earthy (pine). the flavour is hops upfront with a slight citrus adn bittering to them, they turn into pine in the finishes, between the hops is a nice mellow malt that throws in some sweetness. nothe solid brew from GL.

very good pale, almost as bitter as an ipa. very similar to sierra nevada pale, with the cascade hops. very drinkable and refreshing.

Had this at my Daughters in Ohio. Bottle, adecent straightforward IPA, with plenty of hops but not a lot of floral types. Good carbonation, not much head, and a nice finish.

12oz bottle. Aroma has notes of hay, barnyard, and caramel malts. Medium amber red hue with an smaller off-white head that mostly diminished and left little lace. Flavor is more of the same barnyard and caramel malt. Decent bitters on the finish. Palate is light-medium and soft. Average finish. Pretty shitty IPA and definitely over rated. Great Lakes should be ashamed by releasing such swill.

Slightly overrated in my opinion. A good beer though with a nice mix of citrus and piney hops and a mild bitter aftertaste. Nothing spectacular. Fits any average occasion, like lunch or dinner.

Poured a nice copper/amber color with generous white head that stayed a while. Aroma was of citrusy hops. Flavor was a blend of floral, citrusy, piney hops. Pleasant bitterness to it. Mouthfeel is smooth. Decent lacing on glass. I enjoyed.

12 oz bottle. (bb 07/08/08). Copper-orange with just a film of head. Lots of cascade in the aroma, with some sweet (caramel) malt underneath. The taste is surprisingly restrained; the powerful aroma led me to believe that I’d be knocked over by the hops in the beer. (Dry-hopped?) Citrus and floral hops, thinnish sweet malt, and a lovely, lingering bitter finish. Nice beer.

This beer pours a shiny orange body with a large head in the beginning that eventually diminishes. It has a really nice hop aroma, with pine notes and toffee. Creamy mouthfeel with grapefruit, earth and fresh hops on the palate.
