Draught from the brewery. Nice golden pour, small bit of hops bite. Not too bad really.

Hazy golden with a white head. Bright herbal notes, zesty, earth, lightly toasted malts. Medium bodied. Crisp finish with a little malt. A bit of bitterness, too. Clean and refreshing. Very nice.

4 oz pour on draft at ChurchKey. Glad I don’t have to hunt this down at Nats Park or the brewery now! Hazy straw yellow with off-white head. Aromas of lemon lime, citrus, light herbs. Tastes of wheat, floral notes, lemon lime citrus. Medium-light body with a dry finish.

Crisp golden and light bronzed coloured body with almost no head at all. Aroma of metal, light malt and some corn and caster sugar - not too pleasant. Light to Medium-bodied; Assertive malt and spent grain flavour at first that is just like any california common and showing no complexity. Aftertaste is mellow, but malty and bitter from metal and light fruits - no real complexity. Overall, a decent beer at the ballpark on a hot day, but not good nor exciting - try this once if you have to, and you’ll still feel bad that you wasted your time on it and you’ll feel even worse knowing how much you spent on it! I sampled this twenty ounce draught at Nats Park for the Yankees versus the Nationals on 20-May-2015 for US$10,00.
