Bottle at first DC beer tasting of 2010. Golden color, very effervescent, thin white head, moderate lacing. Aroma of apples and citrus. Flavor is malty, lots of sour apples, slightly bitter with a few lager-like elements. Light body. Good, solid example of the style.

Sampled at the DC Local tasting. Pours a transparent, yellow with a thin, sudsy white head. Very heavy carbonation. Grassy aroma, yeasty, a little bready, a little perfume. Flavor is sweet, honey, grass, some light yeast. Finish is slightly sweet. I’ve never been impressed by the style. This is OK.

750ml swingtop bottle - hazy light copper, with a foamy, well-retained head - the aroma hits with a little lemony tartness and dustiness at first, but this quickly makes way for honey, toasted grains, yeasty/doughy character, and background earthy/sweaty qualities - the carbonation is full and lively, yet creamy at the same time - honey sweet up front, but this fades fast, leaving only a mild sweetness, as gentle windflower and buttered toast appear through the middle - peppery/spicy flavor and mild bitterness arrive late - moderate minerals and herbs in the finish - a very soft earthy/hay flavor way in the back (I wish it were a little more prominent - my only complaint) - quite subtle and tasty
