L - dark orange, reddish. very nice look
S - sweet like candy
T - very bitter taste that ends with a caramel note
F - hoppy, malty
O - a little too sweet for my taste. i think pliny the elder still trumps this although being dethroned this year, but this beer is much easier and much cheaper to find. worth a try

Poured into a smooth glass lightly. Dark, hazy orange color. Moderate carbonation, foamy thick head.
Smells mainly of grapefruit and piney and mildly grassy hops; orange, pineapple, overall smells sweet and floral.
Blatant grapefruit rushes the mouth with a slight lemon tartness that supplements with it, orange citrus flavor present as well. Somewhat bitter piney taste and aftertaste. Smooth, floaty feeling.

One of my all time favorites. I'm an IPA honk and this Michigan brew is right there at the top of my list along with Centennial IPA.

Appearance | Pours with a hazy carmel colored top and yellow bottom slight foam; Smell | Sweet, almost toffee malts, citrusy hops, and slight fruity yeast; Taste/Feel/Overall | It is an India Pale Ale which has a better than normal balance of hops, which allows me to drink more than 1 pint and not feel overly bit by bitterness. The aftertaste has more of the bitterness than in the drinking of the beer. It is in the mid price range of IPAs at my bottle shop, which makes me feel like I am getting a great beer at a good price.

Bottle packaged 4 weeks ago. Copper color with large soapy off white head. Nose is white bread, tropical fruit, sweet caramel malts. Taste follows the nose, also hoppy and piney. A bit chewy but refreshing. Great balanced IPA. I recommend this if you can get it.

Bought at Kroger's Swift Creek Midlothian. Bottling date is on the back label - 8/24/17! A little over 2 weeks old AMAZING FIND at this local grocery store! Hopefully it wasn't stored in hot warehouse! Deep gold pour with immediate hop aromas! Excellent balance between the malt and hops with low amount of bitterness! Very crushable and TASTY! Beautifully made beer! I can now taste the reason this has always been a standard bearer for IPA's! I could see this being drank throughout the year (But spring and summer is best for me!) Thanks Bell's! Find and drink amazing beers! SEH P.S. Price point for this beer is great @ $1.75 a bottle!!!! What a break from spending $4 - $6 a can/bottle of local craft beers nowadays!! AHHH!

Very solid IPA. It's got plenty of bitterness and a semi-dry finish but very balanced. The hops finish for quite a while on my palate which is nice. I get a bit of bitter lemongrass and grains. It's a beautiful color, nice golden with some haze. I get lots of malt on this, it's sort of heavy and it is filling. Great for colder weather. The feel makes you want another sip though. I think it could possibly pass for a Pale Ale but who really cares? It's good,worth drinking and I really like it.

Looks great, a nice golden orange color. Smells like a bowl of flowers and fruit. I can actually taste the grapefruit. Smooth and easy to drink. An awesome beer.
