I was blown away by the first Anniversary Ale that I had in 2012. I made a point of buying several 6-packs each spring. But something changed and they no longer wowed me. I hadn’t seen it in my regular store for several years. Saw it today and bought a 6-pack for the memory and to give it another chance. It’s okay but nothing like the original. The blood orange and peppercorn don’t stand out in this version.

12 oz can. Pours a hazy pale yellow with a white head. Light aroma of citrus and herbal hops. Flavor is again light, with more pale malt than anything, still some citrusy, floral hops. A bit disappointing, honestly.

Can. Chocolate aroma with notes of roasted malt, marshmallow and vanilla. Pours deep brown with a half a finger of mocha brown head that has excellent retention and lacing. Starts with chocolate and vanilla flavors as well as having a rich, full body and silky smooth mouthfeel. Finishes smooth with roasted malt and marshmallow flavors. Very nice.

On tap at HopCat Livonia. Pours a hazy yellow with a white head. Lots of fresh citrus in the aroma (grapefruit and orange), pine, tropical hops. Flavor is also heavy on citrus, herbal, perfumy, tropical, and pine... lots a great hop flavors in here. Particularly great given the lower alcohol content. Excellent job here.
