Not bad, was a little weak but went well with the steak at Big Buck Brewery.

(From a 5 Liter mini-keg brought back from Michigan for me) Nice pine hop aroma, pours a cloudy brown/amber, with a big fluffy white head. Wow... great hop character, with just enough malts to balance it out. Nice long pine hop finish, a bit of thickness to the mouthfeel. I wish I could get this around me on a regular basis.

On tap at brewery. Aroma is floral, grassy, citrus hopps. Murky apple cider in appearance. Starts sweet and finishes bitter. Med/full bodied. Good aroma but just something a little off on the palate and flavor.

Draft at the Brewery in Gaylord, MI. Amber color, clear, small head with medium lacing. Nice woodsy aroma. Hoppy with grassy flavor. Good IPA. Overall excellent beer

Poured from tap in Grapevine, TX. Pour produced a beer with a cloudy amber body and a small off white head which quickly diminished. This IPA was fragrant with floral and pine notes, which accompanied the bittersweetness as I tasted it. Though hoppy (as it should be,) there was minimal aftertatste with a hint of alcohol. This was a medium-bodied brew that was strong and smooth, a good IPA.

Draught: Grapevine TX locale. Very, very surprising beer. I was not expecting something good. Decent, maybe. But this beer had a very nice bittering and a very floral and pine taste. Overall, I have had better IPAs, but this one was pretty solid.
