A Brut IPA.

Part of their 7 barrel series of rotating brews. Another gem from my sister-in-law.

Appearance - Pours a cloudy peach with four fingers of frothy white head.

Smell - citrus , tropical, piney, and floral hops, pine resin, grapefruit peel, citrus and orange peel, peach, mango, hint of papaya and passion fruit, bready malts, and earthy yeast.

Taste - bold citrus, tropical, piney, and floral hops upfront. The pine resin, grapefruit, citrus and orange peel follow suit then the peach, mango, hint of papaya and passion fruit come through. The bready malts and earthy yeast round out the brew.

Mouthfeel - Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Finishes sticky with the hops, pine resin, and tropical notes linger.

Overall - Another stellar brew from Great Lakes. I like how they branched off and tried a different style which turned out phenomenal. All elements are on point and if you are able to get a can or two consider yourself lucky!

A-Bright golden straw yellow with a whitehead that dissipates quickly
S- there are fruity aromas of sweet tangerine, Mild citrus in the saddle dank Piney whisper
M-Mouth feel is as advertised quite dry and crisp, with carbonation medium to high
T-Deceiving sweetness lends itself to a smooth bitterness that coats the gums and pallet but does not overpower
O-This beer is quite drinkable and nice classic nod to the days of yesterday.
