Draft sampler at MBC. Deep amber color with an average white head that diminished slowly. Moderate hoppy citrus aroma. Medium body. Heavy hoppy bitter flavor with a smooth medium finish. Good drinkable pale with character.

The beer has a nice spicy hop nose that is backed by some earthiness. The palate is clean and dry with a cookie malt character that is very pleasant. The overall bitterness is right were I like it to be for this style of ale. Overall, a good easy drinking APA that satisfies me on all levels.

Pours out a golden copper color, small head. Nose of mild flower, light hop, malt. Bitterness seems to give way from weak aging ipa hops making this quite dull and rather unenjoyable.

Had a skunky aroma. Dark golden body with white head, some lacing. Mild bitter flavor along with a sticky liquid fruit that you would find after empting a can of fruit coctail. Dent beer.

Dark orange beer with smallish, foamy, off-white head. Aroma is floral and caramel. Flavor is citrus with a bit of caramel malt at the end. Lots of bitterness. Good carbonation. Long finish.

Pours a orangish-golden color. A good Michigan APA nice bitter hoppy taste and distinct smell. Tastes kind of similar to Bell’s Oberon Ale. If it was a pale ale rather than a wheat. I liked it not stellar yet refreshing/

Bottle. Pours a clear orangish color with a small white filmy head. Nose is light grassy hop notes with a hint of dried fruits. Palate is firm and a light fizz is found along with a nice finishing bite. Flavor is grassy hops with a light biscuit malt note.
