Bottle, 5.0% as Mackinac Summer Ale. The aroma is hoppy and caramelly. Clear amber colour, fizzy head. The flavour starts off sweet, but there is some bitterness to balance. Tastes stronger than 5% which also balances off the sweetness.

Bottled (thanks omhper!). Amber colour, small white floamy head. Aroma is zest, mild spices and some grassyness. Some mild toffee and breadyness lurking in the background as it gets slightly warmer. Flavour is malts, grass and some mild fruity and flowery hops. The grassyness is quite dry and biting, and turns into a rather earthy/grassy mildly fruity thing in the finish. Long grassy and zesty aftertaste. Semidry palate. A standard US APA.

As Mackinac Summer Ale. It’s a nice, red copper color and the head is golden and creamy. The aroma has notes of caramel, malt and fruity hops. The flavour has a light sweetness and a light, dry citrus and notes of malt, caramel and light fruit. It’s uncomplicated and pleasant to drink.
