The rich malty flavor is gently balanced with fine, delicate hops. Two-row Pale, Munich, Caramel 20 and 40 lovibond malts are used in this brew. Aviator is fermented at 48F and then at 56F. The beer is then lagered at 31 degrees for 4 weeks before filtration.

haddon90 (1225) - Tustin, California, USA - JAN 8, 2004

On tap at the Brew Pub in Ashburn. Amber color. Not much of a head. Faint aroma. Malt maybe but I can't tell. Smooth, citrusy, kind of bitter. But nothing to write home about. Overall OK.

JonR888710 (999) - Cochabamba, BOLIVIA - JUN 22, 2003

UPDATED: AUG 24, 2003 Light brass colored body with a thin white head. Very thin and clear looking. Aroma smells of clean malt and is faint. Taste is unbalanced with about 75% sweet malt and 25% bitter, grapefruit hops. Metallic finish. All in all, far below what I'd expected. Just a normal amber. Sampled on tap at the Dominion Brewpub in Ashburn, VA.
