An orange beer with a thin lazing beige head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of fruit - amongst them notes of oranges. The flavor is sweet and rather hoppy, leading to a dry crisp toffee end with a good bitterness.

Tap at Max’s in Baltimore - very transparent brown, with no head - strong, burnt coffee aroma - VERY thin-bodied - the flavor is dominated by stale coffee and overly sweet cream - some bitter, tobacco qualities - overall very weak, and what isn’t weak isn’t very tasty - not sure why so many have loved it so far.

Sampled at the Capitol Hill location during RBSG 2006. Pours with a fleeting white head over a clear gold body. Hop aroma dominates with pine and citrus. Sweet malt covered well by pineapple hop flavors. Overall bitterness with good supporting malts. Smooth and well done.

My first ever DC beer. A light yellow beer with a thin lazing white head. The aroma has strong notes of lemon, which makes it nicely fresh. And the flavor is also a fresh lemony on a light malted back ground, and with a thin body. I find it very German in the interpretation. It is very easily drinkable after having wandered around DC in 30 degrees Centigrade and 85% humidity.

On tap at the Baltimore location. Poured a golden orange with minimal head. Aroma was of hops and and light frutiness. had a bitter mouth to it and tasted of grapefruit as well as light floral. Ended bitter, slgithly overcarbonated feel to it. Pretty decent but I think they could have done better.

Growler from the Baltimore location. Pours a light golden amber color with a medium eggshell white head. Really thin lacing. Light malt and hops aroma. Medium-bodied with a clean and bitter character almost like a Dortmunder. Floral hops and some malt but unfortunately kind of bland. The finish is lightly bitter, dry and lingering. Pretty plain in the grand scheme of things.

Dark copper coloured body with a real thin tan head. Aroma of strong pit fruit, malt, yeast, caramel and toffee. Very nice smell-perhaps one of the nicest brewpub beer smells i’ve ever encountered. Medium to Full-bodied; Spicey flavour with sweet burnt sugars and a good malty taste with yeast & spices noticeable. Aftertaste sweet, but still showing malt and alcohol. Overall, a nice beer-a good attempt, more tinkering with the recipe is needed, however. Thanks to my brother-in-law, Andy for letting me sample this one poured from the Growler purchased earlier in the day on 09-January-2005 from the Shirlington (Arlington), Virginia location.
