12oz bottle from WF Clarendon pours a hazy orange with a single ring of bright white head. Nose has quite a bit of stone fruit, peach mostly, a little candy, bits of papaya, bits of nail polish. Flavor is malty, fruity, some candy, peach, dried pineapple chunks, a little carrot, some candy, some perfume. Watery finish.

12oz bottle pours a very hazy orange with some fluffy, frothy, bright white head and lots of apparent carbonation. Nose starts out fine, some orange, some lemon, lightly floral. But there’s also a bottom-of-the-toaster aroma that jumps out too which is a bit off putting. Flavor is also the same, starts fine, grass, straw, lemon, but there’s also a bit of an industrial nature to it, some spent yeast, maybe a little autolyzed yeast, some grains of paradise, some heavy soap and pith. Over carbonation creates an abrasive finish. Drain pour, sadly. Can’t tell if it’s infection or maybe some weird autolysis that took place.

Hazy golden and light copper coloured body with a thin, very fast-dying tan head. Aroma of grass, fresh hops, alcohol, grapefruit and hints of pine. Light to Medium-bodied; Very herbal and grassy hop note up front with a definitely high alpha acid count, but the complexity and depth falls short here. Aftertaste is well-balanced for the style with hints of malt and bitterness throughout, making this decent and perhaps even good, but not great - since seemingly no one realises how this beer is. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Whole Foods in [Old Town] Alexandria, Virginia for US$2,49 on 31-May-2014 sampled at home in Washington on 24-July-2014.

4oz pour at the Northern Virginia BrewFest. Poured a ruby amber color with a small, wispy light tan head. Aroma was some nice bourbon barrel notes, some sweet malts. There wasn’t a whole lot of base beer in this one, not a lot of Belgian yeast notes, wood and vanilla dominate. Boozy, but not to the nth degree.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a murky tan-amber color with a small foamy orange-white head that lingered and left a bit of lacing. The aroma was tangy and sweet honey and pine. The flavor was very sweet and tangy with notes of bread, honey and pine. Medium length sweet honey and pine finish. Moderately full bodied. Decent.

From a bottle it is a cloudy golden color with a slight head. The aroma is citrus with a hint of orange. The taste is a strong bitter flavor that has an aftertadte of grapefrut
