Bottle from Bierkraft. Hazy amber color, small off-white head. Aroma has kiwi and gooseberry bush. Light-bodied. Crisp. Tropical fruity flavor with piney finish. Reminds me about my local Mufloni Pa/Ipa. Easy-going sweetish fruity session beer and my second tick from Virginia.

Very well done. These guys always surprise me with the quality of their stuff. Pours dark amber with decent head and lacing. Prune and raisin with some floral yeast aroma. Touch of oaky bitterness in finish but only a hint. Light sweetness otherwise. Tap at pizza paradiso Dupont.

Draft at Glens Garden Market and Pizzeria Paradiso Dupont. Poured a nice ruby brown color, slightly murky. Head was lightly tanned. Aroma was raisins, dates and some brown sugar. Very vague notes of oatmeal raisin cookies. Flavor was great tasting raisins, dried fruits. Alcohol is there, but doesn’t provide any burning character. This was fantastic. Very impressive.
