Re-rate on tap at Dino’s lounge, Northville, MI This stuff is epic. It poured a darker amber, with no head(thanks to the bartender though) It was hoppy, citrusy, and very well balanced. I wouldn’t say it’s on par with Two Hearted, but I may be a bit biased, due to the fact that I’m from Mchigan, and this beer is from Ohio, you do the math:) But in all seriousness, this beer is superb, and Great Lakes is definitely an amazing brewer. Cheers!

Pours a nice hazy amber with about a finger’s worth of nice white head. Aroma is of some good citrus hops. Pine is there, but a little towards the back. Flavor is very crisp and smooth, almost toasty. Very tasty. Not bitter on the back end at all which is nice. Easy drinker. Nice beer.

Good stuff! Bottle. Imprtessive aroma of hops, citrus and pine. Aggressive taste with floral character and hops. A bit thicker body than usual for this type of beer.

A nice clear amber color with a small white head that has little retention. Smells refreshing, citrus flowers and hops. Has a beautiful taste, one of the few pale ales that I care for as I’m generally not a fan. A little thicker in the mouth than most pal’e, leaves the mouth with a slight dryness. Serving type: bottle

On tap @ Coles Buffalo NY. I thought this was an APA? Anyhow im rating this as an APA. Pours an orangish amber color with nice citrus hop aroma. One of the better APA’a Ive had. Nice solid hop flavor, nice balance. Crisp & always flavorful. Solid beer

Bottle from canals. Clear amber pour with a thin white heat. Good aroma of citrus, hops and malt. Sweet caramel flavor with a hop finish. Not too shaBY.
