Super clear, light golden coloured body with a slight ghostly and straw pale white golden tint, all with a nice two to three centimetre tall off-white and tan head. Aroma of light passionfruit, oranges, mangoes, melons and some papaya with a moderate amount of dry hops and grapefruit and seemingly a good hit of malt here, too. Medium-bodied; Crisp citrusey, floral and even slightly piney hop notes shine through and provide a nice bitterness and depth at first with a pungent citrus flavour as well with more grapefruit than oranges and a bitterness from both at the end, with a nice enough malt backbone at the end. Aftertaste is fairly crisp and pungent from the hop side of things, with a soft sweetness, also seemingly coming from the citrus fruits, but a light and subdued malt flavour hits at the tail end to provide a little support for all the hops. Overall, a nice, dry, grassy and very citrus-oriented IPA with much more hops than malt - just like the good IPAs of old! Nice to sample this one very fresh from the great state of Michigan. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Trig's Grocery in Wausau, Wisconsin on 07-August-2021 for US$1,87, canned on 14-June-2021 and sampled at my house here back in Washington on 28-August-2021.
