Regional Food and Drink, DC tap ($6): Pours a standard amber color with a small white head. Aroma is caramel malt. Taste is utterly and completely boring. Really, there is very little going on in this beer. I had high hopes, but this just tasted like a generic amber ale without much thought put into it.
