On tap at Brickskeller DC. Pours a clear orange with a thin, frothy white head. Nice, fresh aroma, not too punchy, lightly spicy, citrus, a little candy. Flavor is mild, sweet, orange, lemons, pine, caramel, some biscuit. Medium bodied, dry finish. Very well balanced. Fresh but also mild.

On tap at Pizza Port San Clemente’s Hoptoberfest. Pours with a clear golden body and a lasting white head. Aroma is grainy, cereal and bready with herbal, and spicy hops. A bit of dry hop grassiness. Flavors of grain, cereal, citrus, herbal hops and popcorn. Very lively bubbles. Dry. Very sessionable, but leans towards the grainy/malty side of things (sort of like San Clemente’s Rip Tide).
Re-rate: On tap at the brewpub. Pours with a brilliantly clear golden hued body with a retentive and lace producing white head. Strong fruity aromas, floral, delicate tropical fruit notes, flowery, grassy, light esters and some sweetness. A bit dank the more you sip. Flavors are grainy, bready, dry and a bit of DMS possibly (didn’t smell it on any other PPSB beers). Very fruity, a bit spicy, grassy, floral. Dry. Very grainy, tropical fruit. Light bubbles, dry, lighter bodied.

Wash. DC tasting. light brown, medium-tan head. compared to the ’Le Woody’ this version had more dark fruits, lightly on the more sweet side though retaining ample sourness and tartness. Barrel seemed also to be present adding a tad more spices and acidity to the overall profile. along with a mild malt caramel approach.

Wash. DC tasting. side by side with Le Woody Brune, glad to have tried these rare treats. hazy golden, light yellowish head. tart and grape sourness, vinegary, grainy leaving a nice wine-like barrel mouthfeel of the Chardonnay. Highly complex, perfect blend of the fruit with the addition of barrel funk/tartness. aroma had ample grape tartness coupled with lingering tartness.
