A light bodied ale with an appealing color and nose of pineapple, mango and grapefruit. The taste explodes with citrus and ripe melon from dry hopping with Mosaic, Hallertau Melon and Citra hops. This beer is rounded off with oats, pale barley and wheat for a crisp, smooth finish.

Poured from a 12 ounce can into a shaker pint glass, "canned date" "MAY3118".
APPEARANCE: pours a cloudy, golden color with two-fingers white head that slowly dissipated until a thin, unbroken layer of small bubbles remained, there is heavy lacing on the glass, medium carbonation.
SMELL: bread and pineapple citrus, there is also a dank, earthy note.
TASTE: the taste follows the nose, bread then pineapple citrus and finishes with a dank, earthy note.
PALATE: medium body and carbonation.
OVERALL: this is my first beer from this brewer and it was quite good, I enjoyed this beer and would not hesitate to buy again, would love to have it on tap next time I'm in Detroit, I would have this again no problem and would recommend to anyone who enjoys the style.

My brother-in-law brought a can of this beer to my parents lake house to share. It poured a hazy golden color with white head that left some lacing. The scent had citrus and crisp pale malt, and a hint of pine. Mouthfeel is lighter in body with good carbonation. Overall it is a good beer.

From an aluminum can, this brew is a very hazy gold color with a mix of small, suspended floaties. The head is brilliantly white and leaves a wonderful lace. The aroma is fruity...a fleshy, ripe fruit scent...mango, peach, and a little bitter citrus. The taste is equally fruity, balanced with a hint of sweet, and the body is full, soft, and intense. Interesting and enjoyable.

Hazy pale yellow. A little malt with a bit of pineapple, mango. The flavor also has a hint of pine. Altogether not very hoppy, but very drinkable. A little watery.

16 oz from Tap @ Clam Lake Beer Company.... Not much smell but a good hoppy flavor. Very crisp, good Summer beer, very nice APA.

Pours a hazy gold color. 5/4 inch head of a white color. Great retention and good lacing. Smells of citrus, citrus hops, hint of grass, pale malt, and a hint of piney hops. Fits the style of an American Pale Ale. Mouth feel is sharp and crisp, with a high carbonation level. There is a noticeable hop bitterness. Tastes of citrus, citrus hops, hint of grass, pale malt, yeast, and a hint of piney hops. Overall, good appearance, but average otherwise and too carbonated.
