The brewing teams from Hardywood of Richmond and Bluejacket of Washington, DC have collaborated on a triple IPA that showcases the rare and beautiful Azacca hop.
Weighing in at 10.8% ABV with 100 IBUs, this beer is dry-hopped with over a pound per barrel of Yakima Valley Azacca hops, delivering alluring apricot, pear and grapefruit pith aromatics. A bold, jammy body leads to a warming, pleasantly bitter finish with hints of white pepper.
Named for the Beaux-Arts architectural style popularized in Richmond and Washington, DC in the mid-19th century, this beer highlights the appreciation for classical style and creative approach to craftsmanship that has characterized these two great mid-Atlantic cities.

4 ounce draft pour at Bluejacket poured into a snifter. Pours a clear dark orange with off-white head. Nice lacing. Aromas of tropical fruit and citrus. Tasting notes of tropical fruit, citrus, caramel, light floral notes. Medium body with a dry finish. Juicy mouthfeel, medium carbonation. Really enjoyed this one.

Draft at Rustico Ballston. Pours a hazy orange color with a medium sized fizzy tan head. Decent head retention. Aroma of earthy, resin, pine, citrus hops. The taste is resin, citrus, tropical hops, pale doughy malt. Medium bodied, strong lingering bitterness, well balanced. Nice beer.

Cask pour at Churchkey. Poured a mostly clear golden copper color with a small soapy head. Aroma was notes of, well I don’t know - it was a bit strange, perhaps citrus and grassy notes. Some floral character peeks through the citrus character. Juicy, tasty. Alcohol is hidden well enough that this one almost seems sessionable. Almost.

Pours cloudy golden with ok head and lacing. Some floral hops and a little oily. Great on aroma but doesn’t come through well, elements finish disjointed. A little bitter, a little sweet on finish. Tap at Churchkey thanks to Travlr.
