Purchased at CVS
Pours a pale orange with good lacing
Smell is underwhelming but not bad, of oranges and hops
Taste is reminiscent of Bell's Two Hearted, hops and citrus
Medium carbonation with hoppy aftertaste
Average but very drinkable

On tap at Sneakers, a small pub in Lowell, MI.
Poured golden amber, translucent like it’s not filtered, definitely not a hazy.
The aroma is lost on me, stupid Covid.
The taste is a pleasant piney flavor that morphs into a Midwest sweeter, almost malt forward flavor. It is tasty, probably not going to make my regular rotation but it’s certainly a good choice if nothing better is available.
The feel is a thirst quenching carbonated light liquid.
OA, tasty enough, certainly something I’d drink again.

On tap at Cat Cora’s in DTW. very pale, clear. hoppy, but not aromatic or flavorful. Strong, but not boozy. Maybe the airport serves it too cold in their gimmicky refrigerated glass. Or maybe this is just midwest AIPA.

Was pleasantly surprised. Recommended by my server at Red Ox. Possibly my favorite so far. Refreshing with the right bitterness and sweetness.
