I was on my way to my buddies Barber Shop (Miner’s Barber
Shop in New Hudson) and I stopped by the South Lyon Hotel Pub and had
lunch. I tried this ale and liked it so
asked the bartender where in the world is this from and she said, ‘down the
road.’ After visiting the sheep
shearing experts I was on my way to the brewery.
Appearance: misty amber body with an off-white head and on
the lacing front … not much. The little
bit that there is clings to the glass.
Aroma: nice citrus nose reminding me of a citrus peel, sweet
grains, sour bread; as it warms the citrus note reminds me of white grapefruit
Flavors: sweet-sour going on; pink grapefruit with a white
grapefruit bite, sweet grains, sour dough bread, toasted caramel malts, the
citrus notes carry a slight peppery feel on the finish.
Mouthfeel: oily hops, sweet-sour, bitter notes hit the mid
and finish, lingering citrus bite on the aftertaste,
To the Point: I had this ale at a local South Lyon Pub and
they told me the brewery was down the road.
Somehow I found my way there. I
like this IPA. If you live in the area
it is worth the drive – they have some other great flavors to try.
