16oz can at the May DC Beer share. Poured a golden orange color with a medium sized white head. Aroma was nicely hopped, with a decent amount of balanced grain. Flavor was sweet, mild bitterness. Smooth, and easy to drink.

Belcher at the roost pours a murky, translucent gold with some clumpy white head. Nose is nice, doughy, grassy, grainy and bright. Real fresh and bright, dough, grass, yeast. Creamy and medium bodied. Really nice.

16oz can. Really nice IPL. Retains a nice clean, lager base, while taking it in a different direction with the hops. Still has that dry, almost Mittelfruh tone up front to me. Really enjoyable beer.
