**Tried to make the scoring to make a composite of the two different samplings.

Sampled both on CO2 and nitrogen at the Arundel Mills location. Draft: Pours a light copper color with a medium head. Good head retention and lacing. Aroma of citrus hops, pear and a grainy finish. Taste is leafy citrus hops and caramel. Medium bodied. 6/4/6/4/12

Nitro: Pours a light copper color with a large head. Retention and lacing typical of a nitro tap. Aroma is citrus hops, sweet caramel malts, peach and pear. Taste is earthy hops, nuts, pear and peach. Medium bodied. 6/4/5/4/12

A nice amber golden ale with a thin white head. A pleasant c-hops aroma with light orange pulp. In mout, a clasy c-hop IPA with grapefruits, citrus. Nice. Medium bodied. On tap at Duclaw Baltimore, Dec. 29 2008.

Nice deep amber coloured body with a large off-white head. Aroma of fresh hops, nice malt and a lot of sugars too! Medium-bodied; Strong hoppy flavour tucked in with some good caramel and a nice grassy flavour. Aftertaste potent and revealing all of the good grassy and floral tastes. Overall, a very nice IPA - definitely worth trying again! I sampled this six ounce sample from pseudo-draught at the Old Dominion 2005 Beer Festival on 24-June-2005 in Ashburn, Virginia.

a good pale ale. Strong hop aroma. Flavor has more hops but is well balanced by sweet malt. Good citrus character to this beer.

[Draft at the Bowie location] An amber beer with a thin dense off-white head. The aroma is nicely hoppy with notes of grapefruit - which leads the thoughts towards Cascade, but also a light caramel note. The flavor is nice with a good presence of aroma hops, slight notes of toffee, and a fine delicate bitter finish. I also had this on nitro, which made the aroma weaker and the mouthfeel more smooth.

This beer surprises you all the way through. An clear copper color with white head. Very hoppy aroma with citrus notes. The taste is complex, hoppy, citrus, malty and grainy. This beer is great right until the finish which is far too astringent and acidic for the rest of the beer. This beer is aggressive which pays off until the end. Worth a try for you.

on tap-pours a creamy light tan head that laces with copper color. Aroma is crisp hops, secondary medium malt. Taste is a good, biting hops, medium malt. More IPA than APA. Good carbonation.
