May 1, 2007 This is m favorite of the Great Lakes line so far. Poured to a golden orange, with medium white head that lingered well into the drink, and left good lacing up and down the glass. Aroma was immediately strong grassy hops, whcih set up well for the tingly bitter mouthfeel to follow. At mid-glass, the 7.5 abv made itself more known, blending perfectly with the hoppy-grassy flavor. This all led to a very pleasant bitter-dry finish.
Way to go on this one GL!!!

Jun 20, 2007 Pours a clear golden amber with a half finger head . Good retention and lacing. Aroma is sweet malts and nice grapefruit hops. Taste is brown sugary malts up front with citrus and pine hops cleaning off the palate. Creamy mouthfeel but not chewy. Excellent IPA!

Jun 1, 2008 Pours "IPA orange" with a tan head that lingers and there is plenty of lacing. Smells hoppy and citric and tastes the same. Orange peels, lemons, and naturally hops galore. Seems to mask the 7.5 % alcohol well. It also seems fittingly carbonated. Lovely.

Apr 16, 2008 Poured a medium golden copper with a thick head that stayed around awhile. It smelled uniquely delightful--very flowery. Tasted very hoppy but not very bitter--finished smooth and was very drinkable. This is a great one and I really enjoyed it!

Oct 27, 2008 I realy enjoyed this one. It pours a light pale amber color with a small white head the stays and leave little lacing. The aroma is of grapefruit, pine, hop resin, and toffee. THe flavor has a good malt foundation but the grapefruit and pine really comes through well. And a dry bitterness lingers.
