bottle - Pours copper with a one finger head and an aroma of caramel malt and citrus hops. The moderately bitter flavor has good grapefruit notes and a nice malt balance. IPA, huh? I thought it was an American Pale. It’s good either way, but the flavor profile had me thinking really good APA.

Yeah, this has much the same malt profile as all other great lakes beers. Hop flavor is pretty nice, but not too bitter. Flavor is very well-balanced for a pale. Its alright, though doesn’t knock your socks off.

On tap and in bottle. Pours a orangish red color. Smell is of grapefruit and orange. Taste is fairly, but not very hoppy balanced with smooth malt and citrus like the aroma. No bitter aftertaste and no alcohol taste. This is one, if not my favorite beer of all time. It is perfectly hopped without being bitter nor bland. It is a must have for those liking IPAs. You will not be disappointed.

Poured a light amber color with a very small head. Smelled a lot like citrus and hops. Tasted really bitter but with a small, underlying balance of malt. A very good beer.

Pours light gold with a thin head. Aroma of citrus, pine, and fresh hops. Flavors of grapefruit, dry grassyness, and a nice bitter hop finish, but with a slight but noticable caramel malt. Excellent!

I am not sure that I would call this an and IPA i would just a pale ale. It pours a very nice looking copper brown color the taste is fresh and clean with a nice hop background that balances out the solid malt flavors. this beer is a very good blend of tastes I really like it

12oz. Pours a light golden amber with a smallish white head. Aromas aren’t too interesting but certainly a robust malty grapefruit. Hops again are the major feature of the body but there is a very nice malt backbone to this pale ale. I am taking a certain liking to great lakes.
