Brewed with Mackinac hops developed and grown in West Michigan, this beer is a tribute to the bridge that has brought our beautiful state together for over 60 years. If you love Da Yoop, The Mighty Mac or simply a good Michigan craft beer, this perfectly balanced double IPA was brewed just for you.

Can. Pours a clear deep amber gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has caramel and sweet grains with some pine and light grass coming through. Flavor has bread and sweet grains with some musty pine and a bit of grass backing.

On draught at Cultivate Coffee & Taphouse. Clear golden color with a thin white head that burns away quickly to a film. Sparse strings of lace. Malt, floral hop and fruit aroma. Medium body with flavors of grainy malt, floral hops and citrus. The finish is malty up front with a short hoppy aftertaste. Slightly above average overall.

12 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 2/12/2018. Pours slightly hazy/cloudy golden orange/amber color with a 1-2 finger dense and rocky off white head with great retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Nice dense soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big tangerine, grapefruit, lemon, peach, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, citrus peel/zest, light pepper/pine, caramel, toasted bread, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and dark/bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big tangerine, grapefruit, lemon, peach, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, citrus peel/zest, light pepper/pine, caramel, toasted bread, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel, herbal, grassy, spicy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine, grapefruit, lemon, peach, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, citrus peel/zest, light pepper/pine, caramel, toasted bread, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and dark/bready malt flavors; with an awesome malt/bitterness balance; and zero lingering hop astringency after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from bitterness. Medium carbonation and medium-plus body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/bready, and fairly sticky balanced mouthfeel that is great. Minimal warming alcohol for 8.4%. Overall this is an awesome DIPA! All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and dark/bready malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink for the ABV, with the mellowly bitter/drying finish. Never aggressive, Midwest style DIPA. 100% Mackinac hopped, feels like a blend between Amarillo/Citra on profile. Extremely juicy hop complexity, with a nice dark/bready malt backbone. Not too sweet/heavy feeling. A really enjoyable offering.
