Sampled at the 2nd annual Michigan Winter Beer Festival, Lansing. Walled off by the Founders-crazed masses, I was fettered by my need to validate something put out by GRBC. This wasn’t my answer (alas). Murky orange body, thin off-white head. Basically this started with light bourbon and a punch of generic, citrusy and piney hops, quickly thinning to a watery mess. Light, bitter finish. Everything these guys produce seems watered-down. Perhaps their spartan, stenciled banner that looked like it was drawn up an hour before the fest should have tipped me off to yet another round of disappointing beers. At least their framboise was good as usual, though they could ditch the addition of table sugar.
