COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
It’s not as heavy bodied and malty as many IPA’s, in contrast the palate is more crisp and dry. If you consider yourself a "hop-head" you owe it to yourself to grab this beer.

I think that this is the most flavorful IPA brewed in the state. It’s full body lasts and you know you are drinking a real beer.

Golden-amber, hazy with an off-white cap and nice, chunky lacing. Very hoppy aroma with pungent perfume, florals, wet roses; earthy, ashy, and peppery just a bit. Light toasted bread and cracker malts on the palate. Great hop show as well; spicy, herbal tea leaves, white pepper. Commanding bitterness with some grapefruit and lemon zest, mild "Lemon Pledge" characteristic, a bit of alcohol warmth. Very light toasty malt flavors. Slick, residual palate stickiness. Solid Michigan IPA, I get this from time to time.

Iphonephan (1326) - Virginia, USA - JUN 18, 2013
From a 12 oz bottle at home. Pours a cloudy amber with a very thick off white head. Earthy nose. Grassy hop flavors with a solid malt backbone. Bitter finish.

Poured from a 12 oz bottle into a pint glass. Very orange with a whitish tan head that retains well after the pour. The taste is citrus piney not highly malty but a sweet bitter finish. Overall a super IPA. A hidden gem of a brew. Easily will put this on my list of "have again"

Imperial_Scout (149) - Illinois, USA - JUN 17, 2013
Pours deep golden with white head. Nose is of pine and citrus aromas. Bit of a hop bit but a bot off balanced with the lighter malts. A decent ipa but not one of my favorites

Coolmac (21) - SOUTH AFRICA - JUN 17, 2013
Pours hazy orange with low head. Grapefruit, resin and pine on the nose, and the flavour follows with more. This I could drink all day long.

TheBear11D (62) - Michigan, USA - JUN 13, 2013
The Crooked Tree pours a dark yellow tangerine orange with a cream colored head that lasts a bit and leaves good lacing. The aroma is orange citrus hops and it smells good. The flavor is floral and citrus hops with the slightest hint of caramel up front. The mixture of floral and citrus hangs on well into the aftertaste. Overall this is a delightful brew. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
