Peachy coloured, off-white head. Mostly fruity notes present nice array of pears, apricots, oranges, but not much else. Feels a bit smoky in mouth where the fruitiness keeps on stronger than ever with plenty of citrus and a very dry character. Meidum bodied, light-average carbonation. Simple.

Sampled draught at the Michigan Brewers Fest. Love the brewery name, and the label shown here, but alas I didn’t love the beer. Apricot-peach-juice color with little head...peachy, fruit-juicy nose, hints of grassy hops and grapefruit...very sweet body, juicy-fruity, I’ve never experienced a fruitier, sweet IPA I think...bit of hops come in along with some thyme at the end, and a touch of sourness, but they fail to save this over-the-top candy IPA.

Grapefruit, herbal hops over strong fruit (apricot/orange) in the nose. Hazy yellow-tan with low white head. Very sweet and fruity flavour with mild finishing bitterness that only just reminds you this is beer. Medium-light body is fairly dry with moderate carbonation. Sampled at the Michigan Brewers Guild Summer Beer Festival 2005.

2008 MiBGF: Reddish amber with an okay head. The aroma has notes of catty and resiny hops, pepper, caramel, bready and roasty malts and a bit mineral. The taste starts with a bitter astringent note with a malty backbone, Slightly spicy finish. Strange mouth feel chalky yet sharp. Okay beer, needs crisper hop profile.

Draft sample at brewpub. Poured clear amber color with an average frothy white head that diminished slowly with fair lacing. Moderate sour citrus hoppy aroma. Medium body. Medium bitter flavor with a medium bitter finish of moderate duration.
