Pale orange, bright clarity, spotty halo of lacing, creamy cap of long-lasting dense white foam deflates into a puffy soufflé island in the center. A sticky collar forms around the edges as it sits.

Slight catty and resiny aroma, tangerines, florals, coarse milled grains.

Flavors of tangerine citrus, orange peel, underripe fruit, coarse pale malt, dry grassy botanical finish. LIght to medium level of bitterness, light bodied, pretty drinkable. Overall not that far off from local favorite Daisy Cutter with more citrus and lighter body. Thanks Joe for the growler!

Serving type: growler

bottle into glass

smell: lemon, hay, citrus, grapefruit, apple, pear

taste: very earthy bitterness, not getting a whole lot of malt, fruity finish, with notes of citrus, pear, grapefruit and lemon. bitterness lingers

mouthfeel: higher carbonation, sort of thinner body

overall: A bitter pale ale with some fruity notes and a smooth malt backbone, will seek this out again. Another fantastic Michigan brew.

12oz into a tulip.

A: Pours a hazy orange with a nice white head.

S: Sweet citrus, tangerine, pineapple, light pine resin, apricot, a hint of cracker malt.

T: Taste is a bit drier, with some mild marmalade, grass, slightly sweet graininess, grapefruit pith.

M: Light-bodied but with a little heft, light carbonation.

O: Pretty nice pale ale. Not the best citra beer I've ever had, but tasty.
