Bottle. Musty wild hoppy nose, oranges and some caramel. Deep amber pour with a lacing beige head. Hoppy, lightly bitter taste with some nice toasty grains and a tons of bread to go along with a smidgen of vomit. Thinnish, smooth medium body, with a dry, slightly stale caramel aftertaste. More English than American, and as far as striking a balance between malt and hops, can’t really make up its mind. A little dirty.

(Bottle) Pours dark amber with small off-white head. The aroma is light to medium fruity and hoppy with tones of mild bitter oranges, unripe apricots, sweet green grapes, wet roses, earth and mild resin. Some hints of sugary honey tea alongside toffee-ish and bready malt backbone. Also a touch of nectar. The flavour is of mild resiny hops and with a light citric ending. Undertones of bitter oranges and light bitter dried herbs. Some malty hints of toffee, caramel and some honey. The mouthfeel is light crisp and clean. The aftertaste is citric dry. Light sweet and medium bitter. Light to medium bodied. Quite English.

Clear copper color, tan head. Sweet, cheeze, malty scent. Malty cheeze taste. Moussy mouthfeel, medium bitterness.
All in all a rather good beer to my surprise, since I had the feeling it wouldn’t be.

Bottle. Mackinac Summer Ale 5.0%. Pours an amber colour with an off-white head. Aroma has notes of malty caramel and some fresh citrusy hops. The flavour also has notes of caramel with a good amount of saltiness. Also some citrusy hops with some bitterness in the finish.
