COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Made from mostly pale malt and some Munich and caramel malts. These add a little sweetness, which is balanced by more hops. The result is a rich color and fruity flavor.

Darwenus (386) - Virginia, USA - MAR 6, 2013
Bright amber in color with an average head, the aroma is malty with a little floral kick. The flavor is slightly hoppy and then very rich, buttery, malty and smooth. Very drinkable.

Small white head that fades pretty quickly. Deep amber color. It’s a beautiful looking beer. Nose has the slightest hint of fruit maybe some citrus. Nothing too exciting there. Taste is of malted grain and hay. With the slightest hint of sweet fruit. Very nice malt flavor behind a robust hoppy presence. Overall a very nice beer that looks as good as it tastes. And it looks pretty great!

Had it from the bottle. Poured a very nice amber orangeish color with a small head that disappeared quickly. Scent is a bit fruity. It also tastes a bit fruity and hoppy.

Bottle of the "big porch" version at the grand hotel on mackinac. Other than the touristy label, a basic amber.

maekchu (1090) - Hirakata, JAPAN - FEB 24, 2013
Bottle. Metallic notes hit the nose first, then some light cereal and mild peach is dectectable. Copper/amber color with a filmy little head. Very mild caramel in the initial / mid has some light bitterness, and also metallic, rust notes / finish is lighty bitter, then bland, and then gone. Okat stuff, but barely so. Probably the least interesting beer from this brewery. It’s watery and so light. Doesn’t impress much, even after warming up for 15-20 minutes. Sorry.

marv3mania (66) - Lansing, Michigan, USA - FEB 14, 2013
Bottle poured into pint glass. Appearance is a hazy orange-ish copper color with minimal head. Aroma is fruity, mostly orange, with malt scents as well. Taste follows the nose, a nice balance of citrus, light hops, caramel, and malt. Nice crisp feel.

My favorite beer. Wonderful smooth caramel flavor, with a subtle hop finish. Dark caramel color and appearance.
