Commercial Description:
India Pale Ale style well suited for Hemingway-esque trips to the Upper Peninsula. American malts and enormous hop additions give this beer a crisp finish and incredible floral hop aroma.

Very much reminds me of Bell’s Hopslam with a little less kick to it. Floral hoppy aroma, with a nice smooth finish. This is very well balanced and a very enjoyable beer. I will be buying it again.

This beer pours coppery with an inch of foam. The aroma is quite hoppy, which smells yummy! The flavor is dominated by hops, but a great malty finish. This beer is well balanced. The body is medium with medium carbonation. This is a great beer and will remain in my drinking rotation!!!

Nice lighter IPA (i consider this more of a good pale ale). Reviewing this as a hoppy pale ale (not an IPA), I like the dryness of this beer and how that helps highlight the citric/floral notes of the hops in the beer. I’ve had the beer in bottle and on tap and prefer the tap as the cleaness and crisp hops come through better. This is a very nice pale ale! Having brewed this beer as a homebrewer, I think it would improve with alittle more variety of hops (though love cents).

Bottle. Pours a light orange/amber with a thick white head. Aroma of floral, citrus hops (orange, grapefruit, lemon), and a slight hint of pine. Flavor of hops upfront, followed by sweet malt with some wheat notes at the finish. Also got some lemon zest. Perfectly balanced- the hops do not overdominate as they do in other IPAs. Mellow, super-drinkable, well-crafted. No bitter finish. Simply superb.

Bottle at home ... bright golden orange ... very american piney hop nose ... bit over fizzy ... tart juicy resiny hops... ok but not great
