Bottle from StFun, thanks Josh! I didn’t know what to expect from this beer since I didnt look up any information on it or have had any thing from Great Lakes Brewing Co. but I was surprised in a good way. Copper in color, good head. Smells like citrus hops. Taste is a well balanced, fresh, clean IPA. Classic hop bitter taste. Medium carbonation. Overall a solid IPA that I would buy if it was in my area. Thanks Josh for a good brew!

Bottle. Poured a copper color with a good fluffy white head. Nice aroma of hops with the malt aroma hanging in there with it. Well balanced flkavor of hops with the malty, biscuity flavor of the malt. Good mouthfeel make this a excellent and very drinkable pale ale.

12 oz bottle shared at the Alesmith BA Release line tasting. Thought this was going to be an APA. Very hoppy for an APA, and still pretty decent for an IPA. Grass and grapefruit aromas and flavors. Pretty good.

Pours a light amber color with a small white head. Aroma is very citrusy hops. Taste is very bitter and citrusy, not too much pine like the description in my opinion.

Copper color......fluffy head, though it fades a bit fast. Balanced aroma......floral, yet malty. Flavor of malt up front......slightly crisp mouthfeel. Bitterness slowly creeps into the back......finishes dry with a mild maltiness. Very balanced.

bottle from crizay: pours a light golden cooper with a small thin white head. good aroma of malt and fruit, slight hop aroma that is refreshing and earthy (pine). the flavour is hops upfront with a slight citrus adn bittering to them, they turn into pine in the finishes, between the hops is a nice mellow malt that throws in some sweetness. nothe solid brew from GL.

Had this at my Daughters in Ohio. Bottle, adecent straightforward IPA, with plenty of hops but not a lot of floral types. Good carbonation, not much head, and a nice finish.
