Laundry detergent.Wheaty and a taste that I have named bad/weird MI flavor. Dont know what it is or what causes it, just something I’ve noticed with a few different MI brews.

On tap at Livery. Was actually a nice treat to have a Chinook ale-- so many these days are Cascade, Amariilo, & Simcoe. Thought it tsated very fresh, and maybe a little bready? Would be curious what is the yeast. Body might have been a little thin. But surprised to see it was 8%abv. Need to try another time with a fresh palate.

8% ABV Murky rusty red and brown color with a thick-formed light tan head. Hugely candied hop bubble gum nose, reminds me of fresh Hog Heaven. Big, full, sweet cedar hops notes, turning a bit rough and pasty with some frothy and bready sweet maraschino cherry notes. DIPA?

GTMW 2007. The beer pours to a murky orange-amber body with an average white head that becomes thin. The aroma is hay and is quite hoppy with grapefruit, oranges, and limes. The flavor is hay, oranges, lemons, and grapefruit. Not much else going on in this one. The palate is adequately bitter on the finish with a long lasting taste and soft texture. Was listed as 7%?

Draft sample at MBGF07. Poured a hazy copper color with an average frothy off-white head that was mostly lasting and had good lacing. Good malt and citrus hoppy aroma. Medium body with slick texture. Moderate well balanced smooth flavor with a medium bitter finish of moderate duration. Good brew.
