Can, from the brewery. Pours hazy dark yellow with a foamy light beige head, citrus peel aroma, adequate carbonation, medium bitter unripe mango-citrus peel taste, thin body, long citrus peel finish. Flavorful IIPA.

Ever so slightly hazy deep copper and bronze coloured body with a large, thick, six to seven centimetre tall, perfectly microfoamed tan head that caps up the 25% opaque copper glow. Aroma of crisp, grapefruity, grassy and slightly resinous hops with a lot of bitterness, malt and even sugars noticeable in the nose. Medium-bodied; Crisp, citrusey flavours show at first with a fresh squeezed, orange-juice, grapefruit rind, tangerines and even some tart lemon noticeable here, with a subdued malt backbone that shows a lot less strong than it initially seems from the nose, with a deep floral bite and only a hint of sugars towards the end, too. Aftertaste is crisp of course, with the citrus and especially the hop profile, but this is a bit off in balance, due to the light hit of malts - this shows as almost a crisp APA given how little alcohol there appears to be, as well. Overall, a super easy-drinking, crisp, bright IPA-ish beer that feels like an APA!?! but almost registers as an Imperial IPA. Great to try fresh from Michigan and would be looking for more from the brewery on my next trip back up home. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Siciliano's Market in Grand Rapids, Michigan on 03-August-2021 for US$4,99 sampled at my house here in Washington on 13-September-2021.

16 oz. can sent by Church Street. Not a full-on assault of hops in the nose, but still a warming pine, resin and pineapple nose. Hazy yellow beer, looks almost dark as I pour it in my basement writers studio at night. Taste tries to be more of an exemplar of the style than an outlier. As such, the hops are working nicely with some chewy malts, and warming alcohol. The lactose gives it enough extra sweetness to almost but not quite match the hoppiness. Even in the summer heat it's a nice sipper.
