3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Copper color with a small head. Very light hop aroma. Dry grain taste with an earthy bitter finish.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Poured from a growler. Clear copper color with a decent head that lasts leaving plenty of lacing. Lots of intermingling between the hops and the malt in the aroma. This continues in the taste. Plenty of lip licking hops with a solid malt backbone. As the description notes it has a clean bitter finish. A nice full bodied beer that is both delightfully malty and hoppy.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
On draught at the brewery/brewpub in downtown Houghton, Northern Michigan. Pours a clear light copper amber colored brew with a decent size off-white head that slowly dissipates to a creamy white ring and excellent lacing. Aroma is quite hoppy with both citrus and grassy hops, a touch of caramel malt and some wild flower. Taste is medium bodied, light carbonation with flavors of grassy and citrus hops, plus a hint of caramel malt. Finish is semi-dry with a lingering citrus hop aftertaste that slowly disappears.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
5 oz draught sample at the brewpub, late July 2006. Dark clear amber with a lasting smooth off-white head and nice thick lacing....citric-acidic aroma with touches of peach and aromatic weeds....clean, smooth and quaffable, fairly dry and bitter towards the finish....nothing terribly special but a nice easy-drinker with some guts.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
On tap at the brewpub. Light amber colored pour with a thin white head. Slightly sweet and citrus hop aromas of light brown sugar, clover flowers and mild grapefruit. Medium, robustly sparkling body that is pleasantly hopped and mildly bitter from the cascade hops. A nice pleasant caramel maltiness rounds out the finish.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Yes copper color, small head. Cascade aroma with a sweat caramel malt background. Well balanced beer with just enough hops to off-set the malts. I think this was my favorite of the ones I tried.
3.2 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Clear dark tan amber pour with great off white head. No aroma (light fruit). Great hops on the front of the brew. Floral, grapefruit and citrus. Cascade hops dominate the flavors, but it’s very much appreciated. Malts even out the back end for a smooth drinkable finish.
