Growler from the brewery. Hazy copper pour....with a nice head and very good lacing. Great aroma ofcitrus and grassy notes that is not too over powering. Wow this stuff is really good!!!!! Ridiculously smooth with a very nice hop character. This is one of my new favorites and could be a killer session brew

Bottle at ABC beer tasting. Poured an amber gold with an off-white head. Aroma consisted of a bit of hops and malts with a sweet edge and some berry notes. Nice well balanced combo of hops and malts and finishes with a malty kick.

nice aroma and flavor, easy drinking. hops are in front for sure, malt is minimal and fairly unimpressive.

milewide (1074) - Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA - NOV 2, 2007
Too yellow and too hoppy for an amber ale. Probably an APA. This was a good brew, and the best I’ve tried from this brewer.

lumberjack (178) - Michigan, USA - JAN 17, 2009
On tap at King...Was told this is over 7%, which I question. Very nice orange color, looks almost like a wheat. Flavor is bitter throughout, with some hop complexity showing coming through. Some caramel notes try to balance it out. Average mouthfeel, average carbonation. Really solid pale ale.

Overall Good. Almost looked like honey. The aroma is like carmel and flowers mixed. It is very creamy too. Nice Lacing.

johnnyoski (291) - Macomb, Michigan, USA - APR 5, 2009
12oz bottle. Slightly cloudy, light amber color with a very small off white head. Decent citrus and light pine aroma. A bitter citrus and hoppy taste from start to finish. Soft carbonation and medium bodied. Crisp and refreshing. Got my sixer directly from the brewpub so I know it was fresh.

MI2CA (1340) - Noblesville, Indiana, USA - DEC 31, 2007
12oz - Aroma is sweet malt, caramel and subtle hops. Pours cloudy beige with medium head and good lacing. Flavor matches aroma. Palate is clean. Non offensive, but nothing special.

unclemattie (3353) - Georgia, USA - APR 19, 2008
12oz bottle. Deep amber color. Aroma is very floral. Flavor is sweet malt, caramel. Overpowered by sharp hop bitterness. Has a lingering bitterness.
