Draft at the Gettysburg location, July 2006. An unclear orange beer with a thin white head. The aroma is very "beery", not at all like a wheat beer, more like an industrial pilsner. The flavor is sweet wheaty and a slightly malty background, combined with light notes of citrus, leading to a slightly bitter end. A nice starter beer after a long days sightseeing in Gettysburg Memorial Park, with nothing to drink but water

Tap at Spuyten Duyvil - An impressive English-style barleywine from an American brewer - dark amber/purple color - big malt aroma, with notes of plum, fig, toffee - very low hop profile, opting more for a malt-heavy, "traditional" flavor - toffee, rolled oats, vinous/port-like flavors - a roasty driness comesin late, which is unusual for the style, and kind of unexpected considering the initial sweetness - pretty solid,with well-masked alcohol, but finishes a little weak.
