This game day IPA is brewed to be enjoyed as you cheer for a Capitals victory. We mash in with Bravo, Centennial and Hull Melon hops and then dry-hop with even more Centennial and Hull Melon. This brew has melon and citrus aromas with full-bodied flavor, a slight hint of spice, and crisp malt finish. Perfect for sipping by the ice and winning championships.

Clear golden colour, moderate sized creamy ecru-ish white head; aroma of floral and herbal hoppy notes, some roasted sunflower seeds, rye bready and resiny notes; taste of hoppy bitterness with similar notes to the aroma; good classical IPA

473ml can @ Capital One Arena, Washington, DC. Sweet and caramely malty IPA with some pine, grass and grapefruit notes. Decent.

Draft pour at Capital One Arena for a Caps game. Poured a clear amber color, medium sized, foamy head. Aroma was a big malt bomb. Light sweetness, caramel malts. Touch of sharp pine. Probably tasted as intended, considering the crowd. Perhaps a little too heavy due to sweetness, drop it one or two percentage points and I could probably see myself getting more than one of these a game, provided I don't overdraw my bank account due to concession prices.

Very malt dominated. Some citrus but a huge amount of overall flavour here. Easy drinking at Caps game at least. Amber pour with decent head. Tap at Caps arena.
