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.

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.
