Jul 20, 2009 Bottle from the Wine Merchant in Findlay, OH. Pours caramel brown with an off-white head. Lots of particulates here. Nose is caramel malt, grapefruit, and some floral hops. Flavor is caramel, grapefruit, some honey, and an enjoyable hop bite upon the finish. Nice hot day beer with balanced bitterness.

Jul 15, 2009 I’m just getting acquainted with these michigan microbrews, I never had a clue but there’s some pretty good shit up there. I was told by dude at the store that Founders "blows Bell’s out of the water", but as far as the IPAs go I would have to disagree. Don’t get me wrong though, Founders Centennial is good. It’s quite good. But Bell’s Two Hearted was excellent, and definitely a step up from this guy. This one is a little less hoppy than I like, but it is strong and tasty. Some IPAs just taste like hops and don’t have much character, but this is not one of those. The color is medium-dark and a little murky for an IPA, it’s beautiful. Smell and mouthfeel are pretty typical for an IPA. For the price, I’d prefer a Stone or a Bell’s, but it’s definitely not a waste. It’s a fucking solid high-end IPA

Jul 10, 2009 Hazy orange-amber with a bone-white head. Aroma of citrusy hops. Very smooth. Taste is solid hoppiness, as you’d expect from an IPA. Blooms on the tongue after swallowing. Very good example of the style.

Jul 10, 2009 Updated: Jul 15, 2009Pours a medium copper, like a lighter ESB with slightly tan head that faded a bit with mediocre but lasting lacing. Incredible floral hops and juicy aroma. This is a great IPA and I think I prefer it to their Double Trouble IPA. Can’t really say much more about that hasn’t been said. This is a great summer, hot sun brew.
