Mostly clear copper colored pour. It smells of resinous hops and a little citrus. The flavor is of piney hops, citrus, and malt. It’s medium bodied and a fairly good IPA though nothing special.

Pours lightly hazy gold with a small, lingering white head. The aroma is of mango up front backed by hop resin. It has a mango and resinous hop flavor with balanced malty sweetness. It’s medium bodied and very good.

16 oz can made at the brewery from tap (who knew they had such new-fangled things?!) So this is a kind of dingy orange when it pours, holds a decent head, and sports aromas of oranges and resin at first that seem to die back after a bit. The orange comes through brilliantly in the late palate/aftertaste... and it really drives the whole show. The malt presence up front provides good balance, but man... that juicy crush at the end has me in love.

Growler shared with Matt W. Pours a kind of hazy yellow with a thin head. Aromas are pretty thick with passion fruit and resin. Flavor is heavy with some sweet honey like malt, a lot of resin, lemon, and passion fruit. Decent enough, but I like mine a little crisper and brighter.

Sample during the It Would Brighton MI Birthday If Yoopers Could Lake It To This Tasting! event on 09/18/2020. Slightly cloudy dark gold color with a medium thin ivory white head that dissipates steadily to an outer ring. Sticky strings of lace. Aroma of floral hop, citrus and malt. Medium body with flavors of floral hop, citrus and tropical fruits and bready malt. The finish is mildly bitter with a fruity hop aftertaste. Pretty good overall.
