now rebranded a Fall IPA - pretty sure I've had before, but a classic IPA that hits the spot

This brew smells of cranberries and spruce. The flavor is pretty tart with berries, malt, spruce tips, and a little spicy yeast character. Interesting and enjoyable.

12oz can - part of beer club. Decent little classic IPA - session-stle at the lower ABV. Solid

Can from Livonia Liquor. Pours a clear gold with a finger of white foam that lingers. Bready malt aromas with herbal hop notes on the nose. Palate shows good bitterness, herbal flavors and some light citrus as it warms. Dry, bitter finish.

Can from Livonia Liquor. Pours a deep hazy gold with a full finger of soapy white head that lingers. Lots of pithy citrus, tangerine, pineapple and papaya on the nose. A bit of alcohol is noticeable as it warms up. Balanced on the palate with a bit of hop burn on the finish. Not bad.

Canned 1/31/24, drunk 6/9/24. Moderately hazy, bright, sunny, orange-golden-bronze. Small, white head, quickly to edges. Lightly juicy citrus with heavy spice and a bit of pine. Cracker malts and very fruity, estery yeast. Very, very light, though with an almost wheat-like chewiness on the very end that adds back some much-needed depth. Incredibly dry, though, with bitter spice, herbs and grass. Clean, though, and no lingering acid. This really shouldn't be marketed as an NEIPA/hazy. Would be more honest to call this Spring Session or something along those lines. Still, it's quite clean and pleasant, and still assertively hoppy even after four months on a shelf.
