4oz pour at the Northern Virginia BrewFest. Poured a light copper color with a small white head. Aroma was a lot of floral and light citrus juicy hops, with a light malt backing. Flavor had plenty of light floral and citrus hops. Touch of pine. While a touch thin and light, the 4.5% abv is quite refreshing, making this pretty quaffable.

4oz pour at the Northern Virginia BrewFest. Poured a clear golden color with a small wispy head. Aroma was light sweet malts, crisp lager notes, some earthy hops. Flavor is light yeast notes, crisp malt. Touch sweet. Pleasant and pretty tasty for a first beer out of a new brewery, especially in a style that I’m not a huge fan of.
