We partnered up with Pure Michigan again to celebrate the long-awaited transition from a dark, cold winter to a bright, hopefully warm spring. Pure Michigan Spring Hazy IPA is a lush, tropical retreat for your tastebuds (made with all Michigan ingredients, and featuring the Vista hop) with a dry finish that brings you back for more. We hope drinking this beer makes you think of fresh buds on trees, snow melt, trilliums popping up from the just thawed earth, and the joy of knowing a Pure Michigan summer is just around the corner.

Pale hazy IPA color, not much head, decent lacing
Smells citrusy
Tastes citrusy and a little hoppy
Mouthfeel is smooth, a little bitter with subtle hops

February 2024 Pure Michigan Seasonal Release - 6 pack
12 oz. can dated 011724 (1/17/24) - 4.3% ABV / 66 IBU
Brewed and canned in Elk Rapids, MI
Poured into a Bell's branded nonic pint glass

Look - Pours a dense and fizzy white head. Hazy, dark orange appearance.
Smell - Aromas of dank floral and pine, peach, tangerine, bug spray.
Taste - The taste is so reminiscent of bug spray. It's very dominant. It's perfumy.
Feel - Medium bodied with a crisp mouthfeel and finishes dry.
Overall - The odd bug spray taste and flavor makes this one hard to judge. It's nostalgic and strange, but overall it's not great. It's nowhere near a traditional hazy.
