IPA brewed in collaboration with local friends Half Acre and Three Floyds and DC's Bluejacket. This brew proves that multiple parties can indeed create something beautifully balanced. Each brewery provided their own hops and we dry-hopped it twice with hops from Hop Head Farms. Our Brewmaster Jim Cibak calls this a "deceptively drinkable hoppy ale" with flavors and aromas of spring flowers, a smorgasboard of fresh citrus, and a faint hint of mint.

Draft at Bavarian Lodge. Hazy orange color in a fat tulip glass. Bubbly head that leaves many layers of lace. Nose reveals fresh green hops, mostly with pine notes. Taste is full of bright crystal malt and piny hops in pleasing proportions. After a few sips, the sides of my tongue feel a bit of burn from mint, or is that apricot dipped in unsweetened cocoa powder. In other words, very complex, full of flavor, yet enjoyable.

Draft at Churchkey with Megan sitting next to me, but she’s talking to someone else, so I’m sneaking this one in. Clear bright golden color, fluffy white head. Aroma of nice fruit and perfume with just a touch of scallions. Taste is bitter grass, fruit. Very nice.

Tap at Churchkey for CBC. Poured a golden color with a nice fluffy white head. Aroma was plenty of tropical fruit notes - really hoppy. Plenty of citrus in this one, touch of resin. Flavor was hops, lots of hops. A little chewy. Citrus, tropical fruit notes.
