I'm going to disagree with Kurmaraja's review. This is every bit as good as a top shelf NEIPA. The fact that it is from Michigan makes that even more impressive. I'm from CT & VT, and I drink a lot of names you know like Alchemist, HF, Tree House and Trillium. As well as names you might not know but are (depending on the batch) even better, like Foley's, Four Quarters, Frost. So I know what good New England IPA tastes like.
My first taste of this beer was in a beer pub last week in Cadillac MI, and I was very impressed. So impressed, I ran out the next morning and grabbed some at the liquor store. The 4 pack is dated 9/11/19, and while I don't know how previous batches turned out, this batch earns the drive across the county if you have to and buy some rating (If you live in MI).
This beer is sweet orange citrus, with nicely balanced malt and bitter. Yes, it's a little on the sweet side, but what's wrong with that? It drinks wonderfully, finishes faultlessly, and slides down tirelessly.
(Clapping for the brewmaster)

Beautiful soft golden yellow body; pillowy haze; thick and sticky white head, creamy and lasting. Nice citrus and pine resin aroma, a bit muted. Intriguing flavor mix of bread crust, lactose, and citrus; fairly strong hop bitterness rounds things out; grapefruit rind. Heavy body; coarse and tingly on the palate; bold dryness throughout.
This is a meaty, juicy, and bitter new-fangled IPA. The appearance is outstanding. Everything else seems to fall squarely in the niche of a New England IPA although perhaps a little on the ++ side with the overall hop bitterness, but extremely well done overall.

Pours a hazy, opaque dark orange with soft, frothy head that leaves a lot of lacing on the sides of the glass.
Smell is juicy with notes of peaches, mango, green tea and a bit of sweetness. A lot of hops as well..
Taste is juicy and hoppy, with a solid, but soft bitterness. Rich notes of mango, peaches and some pine are mixed with a creamy sweetness. Very well balanced, no sign of the ABV.
Mouthfeel is medium, soft and pillowy with good carbonation.
Overall, a very nice NE DIPA, rich and creamy with no booziness.

Poured into a tulip.
The appearance was a nice burnt murky to cloudy paper orange color. Nice little cap of white foamy head. Nice flimsy looking filmy lace wound around the glass.
The aroma has an absolutely lovely embrace of bittersweet hoppy lemon pulpy/pithy bright to grassy hoppiness rolling into some stonefruity crisp character.
The flavor was moderately sweet but gently strolling into a keen bitter to juicy and full yet semi-dry and finalized spirited brightness just rolling into the aftertaste with a tad little of clean malt.
The mouthfeel was about medium bodied with a steady sipping to sessionable quality about it. Expected low carbonation and ABV. And a stellar lemon bright crisp finish.
Overall, what a damn nice New England styled DIPA! Ellison knows what's up, definitely!
