R.F.D., DC tap ($4hh): Pours a reddish color with a nice somewhat thick white head. Aroma is of citrus and pine hops and sugary malts. Taste is very well-balanced with a good amount of bitterness, but a strong malt backbone providing some mollifying sweetness. Body is also quite nice and very drinkable. Miles better than the APA they make.

7.6/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 7.5
Location: On tap at Churchkey, 6/12/11

Aroma: This beer has a rather hoppy aroma made up mostly of resin and pine
Appearance: It pours a clear orange color with a thick and foamy white head and lot of lace
Flavor: The flavor is rather hoppy, some sweetness and a biting hop finish, it is resiny throughout
Palate: This one is kind of sticky, it is medium bodied, and it has a fairly soft carbonation
Overall Impression: It is very exciting to me, as someone who was a long time resident of the area, to see DC get a new brewery. Now if this brewery produces other beers as good as their IPA, they will quickly and easily become the best brewery in DC (not that it is all that difficult). Well done DC Brau! Very nice IPA, and welcome to the DC beer scene!

Rating #1800. Pours a translucent burnt orange with a lacing, creamy, white head. Nose is nice, lots of C hops, pine, grapefruit, lemon, resinous hops. Flavor is aggressively bitter, lemon rind, grapefruit, pine sap. The Columbus hops really shine through. Full bodied, bitter finish. Fresh, zesty, sessionable for an IPA lover.
