Had on tap at the gl brew pub. Short run only avalible at great lakes

A-golden amber with white head.
S-fruity with a nice bit of hops
T-tastes like it smells but with great balance.
M-medium body that goes down smooth.
D-very drinkable. Gone in a short period of time.

A- Pours a slightly bit hazy light golden orange color with a thin white head. Head has ok retention and leaves a bit of spotty lacing.

S- Smells grassy, fruity, bready malts and a bit of hops. Nothing overpowering and fairly light.

T- A great balance between the malts, fruits and hops here. Starts out with a nice dose of bready malts, moving into a nice fruity taste and then finishes with a bit of bitterness.

M- Lighter side in body and good carbonation.

D- Very easy to drink and enjoyable.

I got a glass of this on-tap recently on a trip to the brewery. This beer is another on-tap pub exclusive only available at the brewery. Served in a tumbler/pint glass. This beer is a clear, medium copper/brown color with deep red highlights. The head is a good2/3 inches when drawn from the tap. Settles to a good 1/4 after a few minutes. Good retention and nice lacing. Aromas of sweet, roasted malt upfront followed by the noble hops and a hint of caramel or brown sugar. Flavors of roasted, sweet malt upfront followed by slightly dry hops and a hint of caramel and or honey. Very well balanced taste! This beer has a smooth and crisp mouthfeel with a full body and moderate to heavy carbonation. Overall drinkability is good, but not the most drinkable beer I have ever had from Great Lakes. A real winner for sure though!

Dark nicely coppered penny color. Great depth of color for the style. Head is off white and thick with substance, and good retention. Lacing is full and thick as well. Carbonation bubbles creep toward the top of the glass.

Caramel bready malts galore. Nice citrusy hop with floral notes as well as piney notes. Hints of grapefruit, orange and lemon and peach.

Very solid. Bready with a hint of honey sweetness. Mouthefeel is a little to light. Citrus is the fruit profile with a tangerine twist and a stone fruit middle with piney flavorings lingering throught finish. Bittering hops are moderate with a tingly carbonation. Caramel shows thorugh. Easily drinkable, too bad this isn't more readily available (especially in the Dayton area:()

I was here for lunch on 1/31 and I had a few glasses of this, it was great. I came back on 2/1, and it was gone. Not too big of a batch and is not offered anymore.

Appearance: golden in color and has a good amount of head atop the body.

Smell: very fruity with a balance of hops to it.

Taste: shows an earthy flavor with a bitter ending, but not overwhelming.

Mouthfeel: little carbonation, very smooth.

Drinkability: will be drinking again, i had at least 2 glasses in a short amount of time, very good and easy to drink.
