Very cocoa-forward brown ale, backed up by caramel, toasted bread, apple, and a mild dark roast-ish bitterness. A touch sweet, but interesting how much cocoa flavor is here with no adjuncts. Not bad.

Can from Livonia Liquor. Pours a clear orange gold with a full 2 fingers of white foam that linger. Amarillo hop orange aromas alongside pink grapefruit zest dominate...a touch of biscuit malt as it warms. More of the same on the palate. Balanced grapefruit zest and pith with bright hops. Medium bodied Midwest-style IPA. This is nice.

Can, slightly a haze on pale yellow. Nose is a unique lime on hop olfactory. Stupid label too. If there are a significant amount of hops in here, the lime is sure covering it up; It's coming across like a lime flavored APA. Yeah, except for the hint in the smell and a teeny bitter bite in the background, this does not rise up to bastard IPA level. After each big swig you get a lime and then a slight hop follow up that lasts for a few moments. Decent co2 level. Yea, this got to be a mislabeled Labat's, bud or great lakes lime? Got the labels mixed up, heheh. If this is an IPA, I almost find it acceptable, and that's unlike me, to like IPA, that is. In the end, it's just another above average fruit beer, with a decent alcohol kick. And I'm glad its not an on-target IPA, LoL

On tap at Hopcat A2. Pours a clear amber gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges and laces. Aroma has bright pine and a bit of grass with some raisin and grain supporting. Flavor has pine and citrus rind with some wet grass and a hint of raisin underlying.

Sampled from the tap at Rappourt. Pours a clear copper with a slight amber hue and a near white head that dissipates to the edges and laces slightly. Aroma has a nice pine and citrus combination with a hint of sweet grains underlying. Flavor has dank citrus and pine with sweet grains and a hint of grass.
