Can thanks to my mom! Pours a clear gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a good amount of pine with a bit of grapefruit, some resin and a touch of bread backing. Flavor has earthy pine and resin with some grapefruit and a light bread backbone.

Can from Livonia Liquor. Pours a clear orange with a finger of white foam that dissipates. Pine, pear and grapefruit on the nose. Watery on the palate with lingering pine and pith notes. Dry finish with a watery mouthfeel.

Clear yellow-gold color with a medium thin white head that evaporates steadily to an outer ring. Short strings of lace. Floral hops, fruit and malt in the nose. Medium body with flavors of grassy hop, citrus and bready malt. The finish is moderately bitter with a short fruity hop aftertaste. Decent overall.

Single bottle from Meijer, somewhere in Michigan. Piney and slightly grassy hop smell with the pour. Kicks up a big frothy head over a hazy brownish-yellow beer body. A little more citrus makes itself known in the nose. Then with the first sip, I get back to a piney resiny hop smack. Touch of pear and pineapple grows in the palate, then it's overwhelmed by the APA hop load. Hops are too much for the malt frankly, so you'd have to be a hop head to really like this. But most of us are hop heads.

12 ounce bottle into tulip glass, bottled on 5/16/2017. Pours crystal clear golden yellow color with a 1-2 finger dense and rocky white head with awesome retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Nice thick soapy lacing clings around the glass. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of big tangerine, grapefruit, peach, pear, apricot, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, berry, lemon zest, orange peel, light pepper, pine, white bread, light honey, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and moderate pale malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big tangerine, grapefruit, peach, pear, apricot, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, berry, lemon zest, orange peel, light pepper, pine, white bread, light honey, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine/grassy/citrus peel/spicy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine, grapefruit, peach, pear, apricot, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, berry, lemon/orange peel, pepper, pine, white bread, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and moderate pale malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and zero astringent hop flavors after the finish. Moderate dryness from bitterness, increasing through the glass. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately crisp, bready/grainy/sticky, and lightly resinous balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol for 7%. Overall this is a great IPA! All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and moderate pale malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, and easy to drink. Love the hop profile, very unique. Very vibrant, juicy, and dank; nice malt backbone with no residual sweetness. A very enjoyable offering.
