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.

Now this is what am IPA should be like. This thing is the best example of an IPA that I have had to date. Pours out a deep golden yellow color with a nice white head. Aroma is very floral and very hoppy. the taste is hoppy with a nice clean citrus finish. Superb beer!

Bright orange hue with gold highlights, slight haze, thin layer of off-white foam sustains, thick lacing. Moderate hop aroma of sweet citrus (orange/lemon), most bread malts, light chalk and grass. Hop bitterness bites initially and transitions to citrus and light pine hops, grassy tones, bread and light caramel malts, finishes dry and bitter. Palate is medium-bodied, smooth texture, medium carbonation. Overall, and easy drinking IPA with nice hop flavor and strong hop bitterness that lingers, very solid.

An IPA staple for a good reason. Unmistakable. Light Amber in color and just make me think it would be the best sea fairing bear for the summer. Plenty of hops and the right kinds for me. Maybe Simcoe/Cascade and I dont know what else. I know it’s 3 kinds though. Grapefruit, Orange and a slight citrus tinge is in their.

12 oz bottle poured medium golden color with a fluffy white head. Floral and citrus hop aroma. Slightly smokey body. Some honey and biscuit in the body with a medium citrus hop bitterness. The body was slightly thin,. Don’t get me wrong, a great IPA, but from all the hype, it was not what I was expecting.

HOPS... mmmm... great earthy flavor with a touch of citrus...orange perhaps... hoppier then most, but not as hoppy as Unearthly... which might be a plus for some

Mini keg shared by Robert at Stateline. Thanks for this one. Poured a nice clear amber color with decent head. Strong aroma of citrus fruits, orange, honey, and very nice sweet hop. Flavor is well balanced with pine, fruits, orange, and malt. Finish is very smooth, crisp, and flows right down. Delicious. Thanks Robert!
