Hazy amber dense white head. Balanced both in nose and palate. Light sweet start, light but lasting hop finish. More of a pale, not an IPA

12oz can. Nice stuff. Deep Munich malt one, rich and sweet. Hop tone is mild, offers a little balance though. Great malt tone, really solid offering.

Draft at Hop Cat Livonia. Pours a slightly hazy gold with a finger of white foam that lingers. Honey and light lavender aromas on the nose. Balanced honey, lavender and malt on the palate. Smooth and highly drinkable.

Can from Livonia Liquor. Pours a clear deep gold with a full two fingers of head that lingers. Bready malt aromas with light peppery and honey notes as it warms. Palate is the same without being overly sweet. Nice peppery finish at the end. Very drinkable.

12 ounce can, 7/28/23. Clear amber, medium white head, average retention. Aroma of pine, toast, Noble hop. Taste is grapefruit, pine, stone fruit, caramel. Moderate bitterness. White grape in the finish. Not getting much of the advertised tropical but it's solid. Sad that in my many trips to Lake Superior for rock hunting this is the closest I've come to float copper.
