Tons of raspberry here. Not so much of an IPA, but a very good beer. Hazy pink pour with good head and lacing. Tangy amd sweet finish. Nice stuff. Tap at Leesburg brewpub.

Super hazy pink coloured body with a ruby glow, some copper-ish glow when held to the light, all with a very thin, just-covering off-white head. Aroma of super soured raspberries, light wheat, yeast, lemon, citrus and grain, but very souring, all with a touch of hops from dry-hopping noticeable at the end with a grassy characteristic. Light to Medium-bodied; Great balance and juxtaposition of hops and sour notes at first with the sour flavours hitting one side of the tongue and the bitterness from the hops right behind, but still layered and incredibly poised. Aftertaste shows mostly the sour raspberry and citrus notes with a little wheat body and a hint of fruity sweetness, but the hop flavour sort of dies at the end with only a glimmer of bitterness around. Overall, a nice and balanced beer that shows the confluence of two styles, done quite well to both styles, but definitely showing more of a sour than an IPA. Still, great to sample, especially on draught and well worth trying if you like either style and can actually find this beer around! I sampled this thirty-two ounce growler fill from K-1 Beer and Wine in Arlington, Virginia on 25-November-2017 for US$8,49 sampled at home in Washington a day later on 26-November-2017, well worth trying!

4 oz pour on draft at Crooked Run Sterling. Poured a kind of milky, hazy, pink red color with a mall white head. Aroma was tart wild raspberries, berry. Light citrus. Flavor was light zesty citrus, with a generous splash of raspberries.
