Aggressive hops at the beginning and finish. A beautifully balanced ale designed for hopheads only. HoppyKev (50), Redford, Michigan, USA

Great brewery as well I like most of there beers. Inveigler (371), Ferndale, Michigan, USA

The hops is a little higher than an average IPA (although, perhaps, not for an American IPA). The malt flavor/coloring is perfect. Overall, a well-balanced beer. Stop at the brewery in Webberville and enjoy some shelled-peanuts with one of these brews! stoutlvr (52), Lansing, Michigan, USA

Pours orange citrusy aroma and grapefruity hops taste. Excellent out of the tap at brewpub.

The taste followed suit. It was a dry hoppy beer with a slight bitter aftertaste. This is one of my favorites. jstraw (776), Chicago, Illinois, USA

| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jul 7, 2002 Pale orange color; Head was creamy and dense; WONDERFUL nose- pine resin and maltyummy. Excellant first impressions. Surprisingly appealing and satisfying (I hate IPAs). The hop level is high enough to keep things interesting. A pleasent surprise.
