3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
On tap at Adega Wine Cellar and Cafe in Silver Spring, MD.
Slightly hazy, translucent reddish amber brown with medium-size, creamy tan head and excellent lacing.
Aroma of grain, biscuits and a little sweet roasted malt.
Mild taste of grain, biscuits and sweet slightly bread malt nicely balanced by a modicum of hops bitterness.
Medium/light body and light carbonation with a silky, foamy mouthfeel.
An excellent mild and a wonderfully flavorful session beer. I am impressed.

Regional Food and Drink, DC tap ($6.50): Pours a murky light brown color with a similar head. Aroma is mostly malty, but in a very good way. Body of the beer is the real upside. It has a really soft mouth feel, so the beer goes down very easily; however, there is nothing lacking in the taste of this beer either. Really nice full malty flavour throughout with a kiss of hops. A very well crafted brew.
