ABV: 4.5% IBU: 8 Ticks: 35
Brewed to be a bright straw color, lightly sweet, with wheat added to create a crispness at the back of the palate. Crushed Orange Peel & Coriander are subtly added to the final stage of the hot side, which lend to the clean head aroma.

Inspiration behind artwork: We wanted our new character to be inspired by the original face of the beer, so we kept her dirty blonde hair and wanted to pay tribute to her sassiness by keeping elements of her “D” tattoo by replacing it with a bracelet with a “D” charm. She also has the orange citrus background and blue colors, familiar with Detroit.

The (not so) shit beer tasting at Leightons stratospheric flat. Lightly hazy gold beer, small white head. Palate is light and dry with mild carbonation. Papery dry malt, insipid. Light dry finish. Hard to believe a US beer from a craft brewer can be papery.watery rubbish, but here it is.

Bottle at the Night of Garbage, thanks to Colin. It pours hazy golden with a small white head. The nose is musty, paper, herbal and dull toast. The taste is sweet, paper, chewy, oily, grainy, herbal notes and leaf with a dry finish. Medium body, fine carbonation and sticky mouth-feel. Rather papery. Not my sort of thing at all.

Bottle shared at the Night of Garbage. Big thanks to Colin for this proper trash. Pours clear gold with a cream head. The nose has some simple bready malts, mild paper, grains. Light sweet flavor with lots of paper, faint caramel, a bit of orange. Light bodied with fine to average carbonation. Sugary and grainy finish with some paper, dry wheat, dry citrus. Meh.

Bottle sampled at a tasting. From notes. Corriander with lemon and orange citrus, but very light notes of all. Disappointing.
