Bottle: The aroma has moderate-heavy orange, light lemon, grapefruit, and a hint of caramel. It pours a hazy golden-orange with lots of sediment. It has a three finger off-white head that leaves behind some nice webbing on the sides of the glass. The flavor starts with and even mixture of citrus (mostly orange) and caramel. The finish has light-moderate grapefruit and a touch of lemon. It’s light-medium bodied with soft carbonation and mouthfeel. Overall, this is a really flavor and well balanced Pale Ale. I’ll definitely be picking up some more of this for the summer. It’s been awhile since Arbor impressed me with something new in a bottle.

Draft. Pours a slightly cloudy light orange color with no head. Hoppy aroma of grass, flowers, and citrus. Taste is a bit odd. Lots of bitterness is a little off putting. The hops don't seem to have a nice fresh flavor and the finish has an odd aftertaste. Disappointing. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Sampled from a bottle purchased at Champanes, this beer poured a hazy gold-orange with burnt orange color at the edges of the glass and made a four finger white and faint off-white head that receded to a thick billowing cover, the glass had generous carbonation, it left nice spots and rings of lacing, this ale had aromas of orange fruit, citrus and faint floral hops, faint toasted malt, there was some malt and fruit sweetness, it had flavors of citrus and light grassy hops with light toasted malt and fruit, there was some sweetness but the hops overshadowed it, the finish had a good hop bitterness to dry the palate, the mouth feel was light and creamy, and there was lots of carbonation on the tongue, a good APA.

On tap at the Brew Pub. Poured a yellow color with an averaged sized white head. Aromas of grains, some citrus, and lighter pine.

Tap @ Arbor. Cloudy, yellow orange appearance with a big, fluffy white head. Slightly resiny, piney hoppy aroma with some citrus notes. A little thin. Grapefruit, piney, slightly resiny hoppy, light pale malty flavor. Pretty good.

this beer is better than claimed, very balance and full flavored, golden colored, not much head or lacing just a little cloudy but very nice

On tap at the Ypsi Brewpub. Poured a clear deep gold with a nicely lacing white head. Aroma was full of hops, mainly pine notes with an undertone of orange peel. Flavor was hoppy throughout with a well balanced combination of citrus (orange) and pine.
