Sampled at the NoVa Summer Beer Fest in Leesburg, VA on 6/25/11. Sampled repeatedly in fact. Also, my 4000th rating! Pours a clear golden amber color with a medium sized creamy tan head. Good head retention, nice lacing. Aroma of earthy hops with a strong caramel backbone. The taste is earthy, citrus hops with a malty background. Medium bodied. Very nice beer.

The Big Hunt, DC tap ($6): Pours an copper color with a whitish head. Aroma is mostly of moderate hops, a little piny. Body is pretty light for an APA, making for easy drinking. Hop bitterness is present, but not in extreme amounts; I would say it is fairly average for an APA in this regard. Balance is done pretty well. Not the most interesting beer, but I guess this beer was brewed so that DC could be more like everyone else anyway. I’m excited to see what they come out with later and how widely they will be distributed in this already saturated market.
