Dry slightly sweet sharp odor, almost like apples. Mild flavor with a mush-mash of fruity flavor with a malty grainy, almost cereal-like aftertaste. I suppose it’s easy drinking, but with the strange flavor combinations, I’m not sure it’s tasty/enjoyable. Kudos to them for being unique and being a craft beer brewer that makes lagers rather than ales. But it seems more like someone making a turbo-only engine in a car because it’s unique, despite everyone else making internal combustion engine cars because they’re more practical. You don’t have taste on your side, just uniqueness.
Sweet, dark, and dry aroma. Sweet dark malt taste immediately followed by a rotated malt clean taste. Fades out fairly quickly and just gives you hints of malt to linger.
Bland, minor sweet aroma. Sharp bite followed by a moderate sweetness. Sweetness fades to a mild sour-like taste. Heavy carbonation leads to a big head in the glass and gives gassiness leading to near instant bloating. No thanks.
Sweet, dry hop aroma. Grainy, slightly raw hop flavor with a slight sweetness on the back. Fades smoothly with a faint hop flavor lingering. Bottled 9/4/13, drank on 10/30/2013.
Slightly sharp, dry-ish hop aroma. Sharp, cutting hop taste but not too strong or harsh. Leaves you with a light malt taste mixed with a moderate hop flavor. Bottled 10/2/13, drank on 10/29/13. I noticed the ABV is about 1% higher than last year’s. Listed as 70 IBU, not sure about last year.
Heavy sweet aroma like honey. Very interesting flavor when hitting the mouth with a bit of honey sweetness, a very fruity taste, then a solid clean malt taste. Overall, very interesting and refreshing, almost light tasting- but not like a light beer. Quite unique, in a good way.
Sweet malt aroma. Full flavored malt with a slightly sharp hop edge on the backside that leaves a lingering hop sweetness. Strange combination of malt flavor first followed by hop flavor- I’m used to the other way around. Can’t really tell the high alcohol percentage.
Nice fresh strong hop aroma. Grabs taste buds aggressively with a full mouth hop flavor. Hop flavor slowly fades out and lanes you with a slightly harsh but sweet hop flavor that fades ever so slowly… Until your taste buds demand another drink and the cycle starts again.
5 out of 5 stars.
Craft beer and homebrew from a Michigan perspective.
