bottle from grape and gourmet poured into a pint glass. pours a darker copper with hints of gold and a big, bubble eggshell head. aroma is mild but very pleasing with mostly floral hops, citrus notes or orange and lemon, apple cider and cinnamon notes, and a bit of toasty malt. flavor is very nice with floral, leafy hops, fresh cut grass, citrus, red apple peel, and slightly sweet caramel malt. palate is very smooth, medium bodied, and well balanced with a dry and nicely bitter finish. overall, a quality beer.

Amber, small head. Hoppy nose, malts, astringently dry bitter hoppy finish; nice contrast with several far less interesting beers around it at the DBF.

Draught at Old Dominion Brewhouse, Washington DC
Deep blond color. Light but nice hop aroma. It has some malt flavor, getting better in the final, with a discreet hopping; quite strong bitterness, with fairly good hops. Pleasant.

Pours a light amber color with a small white head. Crisp hop aroma, cut grass and a touch of pine. Refreshing body, slightly bitter finish. Not bad.
