A deep golden-orange hue provides the backdrop for a well-balanced, medium bodied ale. Hop flavor and aroma are distinctly American with a spicy, citrus finish.

12oz. bottle from Dansting. Pour is orange ruby with a quick fading off white head. Aroma is sweet nutty malt with a hint of sourness (initially) which goes away quickly. Taste is a nice blend of the nutty malt and some of the muted citrus hop. Good solid Pale Ale.

Bottle from Michigan Peddler on Mackinac Island. Pours a translucent orange/amber color with a medium off-white head and spotty lacing. Aroma of citrusy hops and caramel malt. Medium-bodied and dry with an underlying harsh hops bitterness. Citrus and sweet malt flavors are apparent as well. The finish is dry and hoppy. Above average overall.

Pours an amber color, with a creamy light tan head. Floral hops nose reminds me of buttered popcorn. Flavor is dominated by buttery, floral hops as well, with a zesty finish accentuated by a touch of lemon. Another MBC offering that, while tasty, is standard fare.

Draft, at MBC taproom. Yet another pale ale from these guys. This one does, in fact, have the spicy character of an IPA, but the body is a little darker and maltier. Hard to make this stand out among the many fine MBC brews I sampled during my pub crawl across Michigan!
