Jul 18, 2008 I mean, there are a LOT of beers out there, and if you are a middle-of-the-road standard pale ale, what really needs to be said? This would be the beer of choice if you were at the Michigan Brewing Co and in the mood for a pale ale.

Jul 14, 2008 Nice amber gold but head thins out leaving a bit of lacing. Almost floral hops and caramel on the aroma. Something in the background feels off to me but I can’t pinpoint it and mostly it’s quite okay, anyway.
Feels pleasant in the mouth but almost bland. Where’s that spicy, citrusy finish? Well, okay, the lemon is a bit watery and there might be pepper overtones in the finish.
It’s pleasant, if unexciting, but nothing to go out of your way for.
