Description
In 2015, Ellison was created from humble beginnings.
At the time, Lansing didn’t have a brewery large enough to sell its beer outside of its own taproom. Now, there are breweries all over the map competing for marketshare.
Ellison has made it a mission to experiment. A continual refinement of beer, wine and spirits. Sure, we have the usual suspects, but we’re always looking for new flavors. With over 700 different locations across the great state of Michigan to purchase Ellison product, we’d like to say “people like our stuff”.

16oz (thx, Brian C.!). Appearance: hazy golden with a white head. Aroma: piney hops with some weird herbal and lollipop notes. Taste: along the same lines with citrusy and caramel notes, butterscotch. Overall: very old or very old-school IPA? It is meh IMO.

Can from 8 Degrees Plato. Pours a hazy orange gold with a finger of white foam that dissipates quickly. Big juicy nose with fresh squeezed orange juice, passion fruit and mango aromas. More tropical fruit on the palate with pine and dank kush flavors. No date on the can, but I do get a slight oxidized malt note, but nothing too bad. Lingering dank, passion fruit and citrus on the finish with prickly pear and light pine bitterness. Solid.

Sampled between ratebeer and brewver, so no extensive notes were taken. This is a great Imperial stout , american style. No additions , no barrel ageing, no nothing. just plain brewing skills very well shown off. Tad bitter, some sweetness, roasty, thick bodied, and rather low carbo. lovely !

Can at beerlovers bar. In between ratebeer and brewver, so no extensive notes were taken. This was a pretty damn good NE style IPA. Smooth, creamy, low in bitterness, full in tropical fruits. Tad sweet perhaps ( too sweet to some, but not to me ) .
