UPDATED: MAY 29, 2008 Bottle... Lightly hazed amber ale with a mid-sized, fizzy, off-white head. Doughy, citrusy aroma with notes of whole grain bread, lime and grapefruit. Well-rounded flavor. Malty, but lightly bitter with honey and grapefruit rind. Medium-bodied and creamy with lively carbonation. Finishes malty, but not sweet. Thanks go out to OhioDad for the bottle!

Bottle from OhioDad Thanks!
Pours a rich amber with ample head and clinging lace. Aroma is grapefruit and lemon, with a splash of lime. Flavor is very grassy, but not in a disgusting sense; rather, it is grassy in the freshly-mowed-lawn-in-Spring-sense. Nice hoppy tones with clover-like grassy undertones. A very enjoyable beer; I want more from this brewer!

Thanks to OhioDad for this one. Deep amber with an off white head. Looks like honey when held up to the light. Aroma is malty, grassy hops, spices, and actually smells dry. Flavor is malty with light floral notes at 1st. Overall it is smooth, but very generic.

bottled. Lovely rich amber, crystal clear with dense head. Nice caramel and vienna malt aroma, subtle citrusy ester aroma. Great clean malt taste with rich caramel and vienna following through from the nose. Moderate carbonation makes for a smooth finish with firm bitterness. Thoroughly enjoyable.

12oz bottle from Ohiodad. Pours a rich amber color with a small off white foamy head. Nose is sweet caramel malt, ligh tapricots, and some faint grass. Taste is malty enough for JoshuaB. Lots of malt, hints of apricots and peaches, with a very fizzy and bitter finish. Hops follow up the swallow and the palate is thick enough.

4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20 alcoholica (128) - Dublin, Ohio, USA - NOV 17, 2005
Pours a dark amber color with a decent head that fizzled away after a few minutes. Smells of sweet malt, fruit and Flowery hops. Nice bitter hop bite, I can dig this beer. Full of hops and sweet malt, but mostly hops. If your not a fan of hops you won’t like this. For me the more bitter the better.
GO BUCKS! BEAT MICHIGAN!
