very light amber much to clear lots of visable carbonation and a nice thick white head lightly laced. Smells light some floral hop and light citrus aroma w/ a light spice and some light sweetness. Palate is fairly light coats pretty well. Flavor is pretty light a very easy drinking apa very light floral hop and some light malt. Not to bad.

6-6-6: this is not the beer of the beast. Already the third beer from Michigan and I’m still reeling from :02 seconds added to the clock and a winning touchdown. Gosh darn Wolverines. This is an earthy brew. Reminded me immediately of autumn with its bright amber hue. Big rocky head. Essence of snapped twigs, dry and ready for kindling. Followed by a hoppy, grapefruit finish. Michigan is earning some street cred for its brews. Well, as much street cred as a white middle class boy from Pennsylvania can give something anyway. But don’t hold that against the brewers.

A bit of hops in the aroma, along with a pine scent. Pours a deep gold, with a off-white head that laces well. The mody is medium with a strong hop finish.

This one pours a transparent gold with a white head. The aroma is very floral, hoppy, grassy...it almost feels like I’m gonna get kicked in the teeth with an extraordinary hop flavor.This is not the case though, the flavor gives you a very small hop punch in the beginning...citrusy and piney...then goes to a light semi-sweet/bitter finnish with minmal aftertases lingering around. The beers is pretty light on the tounge(albiet a bit watery) and the finnish is quite dry. This is a nice beer to go with a meal, not too heavy in body or flavor but there is enough to know is has both of those qualities. Thanks to Dogbrick for this one, might’ve ingnored this one for a while otherwise.

Pours a copper amber with frothy white head that slowly fizzles down. Nose sweet malts with a nice floral hop thing going on. Flavor is hop bitterness straight out but finishes nice and sweet. Well rounded kick ass pale ale. I’ve been trying ti get this again since the first time I tried it. Thank god for trading!
