Jul 19, 2008 This beer is one of the best examples of the ipa style. Aggressive hops at the beginning and finish. A beautifully balanced ale designed for hopheads only.

I musta been on crack when I rated this before. Nice pour of thick cheddar orange with a nose of sharp grapefruit with a touch of pine resin. Flavor is sour grapefruit, orange, and a touch of pine. Nice floral finish. Thick, full mouthfeel. Excellent every-man-priced IPA. Definite repeat.

Jul 4, 2008 In short: An intense resinous sharp IPA. Good stuff.
How: Tap at Hop Cat (Grand Rapids, Michigan)
The look: Clear copper body with a very small off-white head
In long: Caramel and citrus on the nose. Body is well malted, this is not a hop-juice beer. Round caramel, earthy citrus and earthy oranges. Truckload of malts balance by a tuckload of hops. Medium-high bitterness. My kind of IPA. Surprisingly I got some alcohol bite in the finish(!?!). A bit too drinkable, that thing is dangerous… High Seas are treacherous.

Jul 1, 2008 draft- nice piney/citrus aroma backup up by significant floral hop flavor. Enjoyed this one.

Jun 15, 2008 Hazy amber, but with a great frothy head. Mostly grapefruit aroma, but also a bit of pine. Taste follows the aroma profile, with a touch of sweetness and a nice, not overwhelming alcohol finish. I was ambivalent about the first couple of bottles in the sixer, but its really grown on me. Definitely is MBC’s best offering with the exception of their exemplary Imperial Stout and Imperial IPA.

Jun 2, 2008 Tasted 5/31/08. 12oz bottle. Hazy with a dark amber hue. Off white ring of head. Sweet aromas of grapefruit melons and apricot. Good hoppy aromas. Medium bodied with sweet malts. Sugary sweetness. Nice bitterness with a lingering finish. Mild malt character. Tart and all hops. Good amount of well masked alcohol. Decent.

Jun 1, 2008 Bottle. Pours a medium amber with a full white head. Very citrusy nose, with several malts coming through. The initial flavor is sweet citrusy fruit followed up by a lot of malt, and a slightly bitter finish. Nice flavor, fairly complex in how its flavor changes as you drink. No hint of alcohol in the flavor, so the 7% could sneak up on you.

Jun 1, 2008 Bottle. Pours a slightly hazy amber color with a longlasting off-white head. Hasa malty hoppy citrus aroma. Sweet malty hoppy bitter flavor with citrus hints. Sweetish malty finish with a long bitter aftertaste.
