Via 12 oz bottle. Excellent floral hop aroma with a golden pour and decent white head. Good biting taste of hops with a bitter finish hinting a slight palate of pine. Have enjoyed this IPA/APA (your choice) on draft @Great Lakes or in the bottle. A good standard for Great Lakes

Light yellow amber color, creamy white head. The faintest citric hop aroma, I can hardly smell a thing. More lemon citric hops in the flavor, assertive bitterness. A little too much on the metallic side. Ok, but not too exciting, and some bottles are downright poor.

12 oz bottle. Pours clear golden color with white head. Nice hop aroma to it, fairly standard pale ale flavor. Nothing special, but it’s very drinkable and being a Clevelander I have to appreciate the burning river reference. =)

Definitely an APA, not an IPA. Heavier mouthfeel changes a bit as you swallow. GREAT aroma of pine needles and floral hops. Crisp taste, dry hops and pine with a balance of breadiness. Very good session ale. I’m half in the bag on them now!

I liked it quite a bit and it grew on me the more I drank. Good stuff. Repeat purchase. Yum.

12 oz bottle poured into standard pint glass. Pour reveals strong amber color, clarity is clear with no particles. Aroma is superb and very inviting; includes strong pine, hop, and light bread notes predominate. Mouthfeel is full bodied, but somehow also a little thin upon finish. Bitterness says mild "IPA", heavier body and mouthfeel says "American Pale Ale."

A very nice American pale ale (not IPA). Hops are pronounced but are not overdone. Clean and crisp, eminently drinkable.
