12oz bottle split with Anndiesel. Filtered orange-tan, some chill haze. Thin, respectable head. Malty, think, resinous aroma..kind of old school. Approaching IIPA in some respects, very big malt tones, kind of full and resinous on the palate. Comes across a little brutal and one-dimensional. Rindy citrus hop character. Tolerable, but not one I’d revisit.

Pour is a copper with a large white head. Aroma is sweet malts but has plenty of hops. Flavor is more of a malt aspect than hoppy. Hops are here but that sweet malt takes over everything. Finish is more sweet malt and maybe even some dark fruit. Ok beer. Nothing really bad just not as hoppy as would have liked.

got this from my beer friend nate! its from the fridge in Lancaster, heheh. drank right from the bottle so I assume its yellah. smells like beer. wew, has quite a kick at first but after the first swig it goes up from there. yes, very crisp, getting better. goes down pretty easy, mostly well behaved. ok, better than average beer, refreshing to say the least.

Location: 12 oz bottle from State Line, 5/22/13
Aroma: The nose is clean and grassy, with some grainy and cereal malts, and light spice
Appearance: It pours a clear golden-orange color with a small off-white head and some drippy lace
Flavor: The taste is mid-sweet, with some nice malts, light spice, and a clean hop bitter finish
Palate: The body is light-medium, not at all watery, very clean and drinkable, with a lightly dry finish
Overall Impression: Wow, only 3 raters before me! Anway, I'll skip the bad Poe joke this time (I already did that in my "Tell Take Heart" review). I thought this was a very solid pilsener. It has a really nice mix of hops and malts on the nose, and the flavor works pretty much just as well. I found some small flaws that kept this from being a top of example style, but it is still a very nice beer. So far, after trying two of their beers, I'm pretty happy with the work of these here Poe fans. As far as Poe-centric things that are new to me in 2013 go, this brewery is way better than The Following.

Location: 12 oz bottle from State Line, 5/20/13, as Tell Tale Heart (not Hearty), but otherwise it has the exact same label, I guess they got rid of the "y"
Aroma: This one has a nice hop aroma of citrus and pine with some caramel undertones
Appearance: Pours a hazed amber-orange color with a mid-sized off-white head and heavy lace
Flavor: The flavor is similar, it is a little sweet, and has a nice, big enough, hop presence as well
Palate: The body is medium, mildly sticky, a little chewy, with average carbonation, and a dry finish
Overall Impression: Though this beer did not have the eye of a vulture, I thought this was a pretty tasty IPA. It's true to the style, and has a very solid hop presence to it. I wasn't previous familiar with Baltimore-Washington Beer Works, but after this one, I will gladly try more of their beers. Nice stuff for sure.
