Pours a cloudy dark golden color. Smell is mild, some fruits. Taste is fruits, malts, a touch of spice. Feels full bodied in the mouth and overall is an easy drinking beer.

Pour out of 12 oz can, hazy orange pour with lots of carbonation streaming up, fluffy thick white head. Aroma has notes of sweet biscuit, bready notes, hints of yeast, slight sour grain, touch of lemon, orange, bitter grassy earth in there as well, floral notes come through. Taste is sweet orange, pear, biscuity notes, some honey and slight grass, touch of floral and earth, more sweet fruits come through, fine carbonation but fairly medium bodied. Pretty decent.

Hazy gold appearance amall off-white head. Hay and grains in the aroma with light fruit. Body is fruity with some grains and yeast. Finish is a bit bitter with some biscuit.

Hazy gold appearance with a small white head and light lacing. Yeasty aroma with a touch of soft fruit. Moderately hopped taste, with sweet malts up front, some breadiness, melons, and a bit of pepper in the aftertaste. Medium bodied, moderately carbonated mouthfeel leading to a lingering finish.

Can. Floral and yeast aroma. Mild sweet flavor and mild finish, ok overall.

Can. Big airy pour, opaque, muted orange with a solid head of white foam. The aroma is of musty mash and citrus. It drinks with a similar essence -- born of wet hops and mash, this doesn’t lean in any given direction. The 7% is hard to believe. (#4606, 5/25/2012)

Can. Aroma is floral hops with some yeast but not too strong. A cloudy amber color with a light head. Mainly sweet but with some bitterness in the finish. I would like to try again, especially on draft.

bottle thanks to theepeist. poured cloudy orange with a white head. aroma was surprisingly pleasant with florals, citrus, cream, and vanilla. flavor was flat grain, citrus, floral, and orange. body was light and fizzy.

Can pours hazy golden with white head. Ado As are sweet fruity yeast and some barnyard. Tastes are sweet banana and tropical fruit with a slight hop note. Body is medium and sweet almost too sweet. Overall a decent brew.

12 oz. can, first D.C. brew I’ve had. The pour yields a cloudy, hazy, golden-orange amber body with a short head of fading, smooth, off-white foam. A wash of suds leaves some wet, rounded spots of lacing scattered about the glass. The nose is based in mundane, aged, watered-down cereal grain, with notes of pithy, lemony hops and creamy, chiffon-like Belgian yeast. Flavors largely follow suit, showing grainy, wheaty cereal, with biting lemon pith hops and mildly peppery, fruity yeast. It’s kind of boring, to be quite honest. It just isn’t as crisp as it should be. The palate is kind of muddled and slightly flat. A little more carbonation would go a long way. Meh.
