Pour form a 12 oz bottle. Medium amber, slightly cloudy, one finger of off white head. Aroma dominated by resinous hoppiness - nice. Taste follows the aroma - a tart hoppiness comes on with the start of the swallow and transforms into a very nicely balanced hoppy finish. There are a lot of fine modern IPA’s out there these days, and this one can claim a spot with the best.

3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
12 oz. bottle bought on a trip to Michigan. The bottom of the bottle has big chunks of sediment that fog the pour. This is golden brown and a bit florescent. A tall light tan head slowly settles leaving sticky lacing. The nose is floral and citrus hops. Caramel is barely sniffed. The flavor is exactly the same. Bitterness is significant and even numbs the tongue. There is some caramel here and it adds much needed sweetness. This IPA comes right at you and is nice.
