UPDATED: AUG 31, 2009 Eh, I have grown tired of trying the Mich beers in hopes that they actually brew a good one. I give up. malty on the nose and very malty with some sweetness. Pretty damn bland. Not one I will try again.

2.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Bottled, born on 8/10/07. Poured clear medium amber with a short cap of off-white head.. nice color to it. The aroma picked up artificially-sweetened, lightly-toasted caramel malts.. sweet, simple, and artificial, but pleasant. The flavor lost a step, probably 2 with some sweet maltage at the core (not really caramel or otherwise identifiable).. faint fruits and mild herbal bitterness in there, too. Light-bodied with lively carbonation.. too much artificial sweetener and unnecessary sharpness especially on the back-end. Drinkable, but not very good.
