Ways & Means is a session IPA brewed with rye and just the right amount of Citra and Centennial hops for pleasing bitterness. It boasts complex aromatics of citrus and tropical fruits, finishing with the typical clean, refreshing character for which our beers are known for.

4oz pour at the Northern Virginia BrewFest. Poured a light hazy yellow color with a small off-white head. Aroma was lots of fresh, juicy citrus notes - citra? Galaxy? Lots of citrus fruits. Flavor was crisp, juicy citrus notes, some floral character, pretty good!

Growler from Drake. Pours hazy golden with small white head. Aroma is pine hops, medium body, medium carbonation, and some small bubble lacing. Taste is some citrus up front, herbal hops, pine hops, peppery rye, some spice, and some malt backbone. I would have guessed session IPA that has some rye. Not that easy to drink for the abv, but still pretty quaff able. Different and interesting, but not a favorite.

Pours cloudy orange with ok head and lacing. This in the environment of summerfest by some new development high rises that look like they will be worn down by weather in 10 years. There’s a crane next to us building more. I’m thinking about packing myself into a cargo container and shipping myself to a place with beer better than this. Finishes with light sourness.

Draft at Whole Foods Charlottesville. Pour a hazy orange color with a thin creamy tan head. Decent head retention. Aroma of rye, toasted malts, caramel, mild citrus. The taste is toasted malt, caramel, nougat, mild stone fruits, spicy rye. Medium bodied, good balance, slight lingering bitterness.
