Bottle from WBF in Raleigh. This is solid! Light amber pour with light citrusy hops. Decent malt; well balanced and easy to drink. Seems like a perfect summer beer.

Bottle from the Great Lakes sampler box. Really great aroma of hops and a hint of pine. Really nicely blended hops taste with some definite citrus notes. Very solid and drinkable beer. Would buy again soon.

Bottle courtesy of crizay. Good floral and citrus aroma on the nose. Copper body with off white head. Good amount of citrus hop flavor to this beer. Cool and crisp on the palate. Thanks Chris.

Not too hoppy and a little sweet. Some earthy aroma and some citrus and grass. Not bad.

There’s a red moon rising On the Cuyahoga River Rolling into Cleveland to the lake

There’s an oil barge winding Down the Cuyahoga River Rolling into Cleveland to the lake

Cleveland city of light city of magic Cleveland city of light you’re calling me Cleveland, even now I can remember ’Cause the Cuyahoga River Goes smokin’ through my dreams

Burn on, big river, burn on Burn on, big river, burn on Now the Lord can make you tumble And the Lord can make you turn And the Lord can make you overflow But the Lord can’t make you burn

On tap at Brixie’s in Brookfield, IL. Pint presented with a dark amber hue, and an off white, foamy head that left some nice, clinging lace. The aroma was more hop-floral to me with maybe a touch of resin as a dry note. Light malt, and some mid-fruit sweetness as apricot/peach was also detected. The flavor was a more intense version of these complimented with a medium bitterness, some earthy tones, and a slight off note as paper/parchment. Otherwise, a respectable brew.
