Poured from a twelve ounce can, the body is an opaque rusty orange with fluffy white head. Light lacing.

Aroma is fruit punch. Lightly sweet. Taste follows nose. A malty backbone helps cut into the sweetness and finish brings a light bitterness that slowly trails off.

Mouthfeel is medium and carbonation solid.

An easy drinking summer ale.

At the tap room. Solid beer, now brewed at 5.5%, listed as a “summer ale.” Nice beer: the copper hops really shine, with a nice easy-going but bright mix of tropical, orange and tangerine, and faintly spicy notes, and a solid but unobtrusive malt backbone. Smooth and almost creamy mouthful, with some gentle liveliness, and just a touch of bitterness that works well with the juicy and fruity profile. I enjoyed this one a lot!

Nice smooth IPA. Good lacing, good mouth feel. Erroneously listed as retired. NOT TRUE! Sitting at Beards Brew Pub right now (10/10/21), enjoying one on the patio, overlooking beautiful, Little Traverse Bay, in Northern Michigan.

Very nice IPA! Poured from can to pilsner glass. Reddish gold in color. Big fruit aromas, lots of tropical notes with some mandarin orange thrown in. Flavor is mostly fruit-punchy as well, with minimal bitterness and a slightly dry finish.
