Clear golden colour, half inch of dense white head; aroma of tropical fruity, grapefruity, some grape, peachy and maybe apple peel notes; taste is dominated by hoppy bitterness with the same notes as can be felt in the aroma; good IPA

Green onion and lots of resin. Golden amber pour with ok head. Hop tang kind of finish. Tap at Dacha. 737313 Had this again in a can. Definitely stronger in can, maybe a little fresher. Big grapefruit, tastes like Nelson.

Super crisp golden and light toffee coloured body with a good, two to three centimetre tall off-white and tan head that is fairly soapy and fades quickly. Aroma of grass, hay, light pine, some citrus fruits and even a dose of resin. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong very grassy and floral bite shows through with a lot of hay, flowers and grapefruit rind noticeable and showing some herbal elements at the end that has a lot of bitterness coming from the hops in an old school way. Aftertaste is rich with hop characteristics, especially the pine and grapefruit zest, along with a good deal of herbal bitterness and a nice balance of malt throughout. Overall, a nice and relatively old school IPA with a great herbal and floral layer that almost makes this seem like a hoppy saison at first, but the hops definitely drive through and clearly show that this is and old-school East Coast IPA. Good to sample as this is the first I've seen or heard of this brewery on the other side of the Potomac. I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from Trader Joe's in Washington (West End) DC on 23-August-2020 for US$2,00 sampled at my house here in Washington on 04-September-2020.

On tap at the brewery. Pours medium golden. Fresh citrus aroma, mostly orange. Flavor is juicy orange, light grapefruit peel, light paper. Simple but enough flavor. Good.

Draft at Tapp’d Bethesda. Poured a clear yellow-amber color with a medium sized white head. Very floral, almost a sweet bread character to this one. Lots of sweet, notes, some fruity character - actually pretty pleasant in a strange way.
