Very hazy straw golden coloured body that's murky, but still shows some bubbles on the sides of the glass, all with a two centimetre tall pure white soapy head. Aroma of oranges, grapefruit, light honey, oats, a touch of hay, grass and some lactose in here as well, with a bit of alcohol at the end of the nose. Medium-bodied; Very orange-y and citrusey flavours show at first with a kick of dryness and hay-like, almost saison-y notes at the end with a slight bit of sugars, but the end shows some actual hop bitterness, too. Aftertaste is rich - pretty malty, especially for the style that somehow shows a bit more biscuity than others, but this is very clean and dry with some hop bitterness coming through the seems, with an underlying flavour of citrus fruits throughout. Overall, a nice beer - about right for the style, but the strawberry (tart) version that I sampled yesterday was somehow much better overall - this is a tad dry, but still shows the fruits here and while the hops are noticeable, the malt sticks out a bit too much. Good to sample from the great state of Michigan - fairly fresh, but I'd recommend the tart-strawberry version of this [M-43] if you only have ONE! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Trader Joe's in Northville, Michigan on 23-October-2022 for US$3,25 canned on 29-September-2022 and sampled at my house here in Washington on 17-December-2022.

Very hazy and cloudy yellow coloured body about 95 per cent opaque with some noticeable tiny bubbles rising from the sides, all covered by a nice three centimetre tall tan head. Aroma of very nice strawberry, lactose, guava, bananas and a lot of papaya and melon notes with a big richness here. Medium-bodied; Crisp and tart fruit flavours show at first with a very nice dry and grassy touch of hay and hibiscus flowers with a tart strawberry and rich banana flavour, with a lot of wheat malt here that adds a lot to the body, but is very easy-drinking. Aftertaste is full of flavour with the fruit front and centre with a kick of tropically notes from guava and melons, with an ever-so-slight hop bitterness here and some soft sugars towards the end with lactose noticeable. Overall, a nice beer that shows a lot less of an IPA than a fruit beer, but there still are some hops here and a slight bitterness, but above that all are the balanced malts and sugars, which end this nicely. I'll sample this soon with the 'plain' M-43 for comparison sake - but this is nice...fruity, but still delicate - get it if you can find it, sampled AND purchased a long way from my home state of Michigan! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Total Wine in Alexandria (Potomac Yard), Virginia on 13-November-2022 for US$4,99, canned on 26-May-2022 and sampled at my house here in Washington on 16-December-2022.
