Draught @ Albion. Clear rich golden yellow with small foamy off-white head, very faint citrus aroma, medium carbonation, mildly bitter caramel malt taste with little citrus flavor, thin body, long medium bitter finish. Not bad though lacking a bit of character.

Sample at SBWF 2017. Black with a small tan head. Aroma of dark malt, bourbon, some dried fruit and chocolate. Kind of smooth. A pleasant one.

Hazy golden coloured body with a smallish, single centimetre tall pure white head. Aroma of white grapes, a touch of tart and sour notes, a little grass and a good deal of super tropical fruit hops with a noticeable malt scent as well. Light-bodied; Sharp grassy and very herbal flavours at first with a dry bite, some subdued yet noticeable malt and earthy flavours and ending with a moderate amount of hops along with the bitterness coupled with a touch of sweetness from the fruit. Aftertaste shows some herbs, grass and a lot of dryed flavours - more than typical, coupled with a dose of herbal and tea-like notes near the end. Overall, a decent enough beer that shows moderately well throughout, but leaves a ton of bitterness, which will be okay for the short term, while the dry and herbal elements come out here and last moderately long. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Shopper's Food Warehouse in Alexandria, Virginia on 21-June-2017 for US$1,25, sampled at home in Washington on 12-September-2017.
