A lot of random elements in this. Pours cloudy orange/yellow with decent head and lacing. Nutmeg, ginger and booze in aroma. Finishes sweet. Kind of reminds me of the kind of bad Christmas candies relatives bring you back from holidays in Germany or Austria. Tap at Black Squirrel.

Refrigerated 12 oz. brown bottle poured into a weizen glass. Pours hazy pale golden with small white head. Orange/Coriander aroma, medium body, medium carbonation, and pretty good small bubble lacing. Taste is coriander, orange, spice (mostly grains of paradise), some floral, some grassy, some bubble gum, with crisp finish. Soft beer with a fair amount of complexity (especially for the style) and flavor, pretty enjoyable really.

Great slightly hazy and honey tinted light amber coloured body with a one centimetre tall tan head. Very mild aroma of grass, honey, malt and a bunch of floral notes! Full-bodied; Very rich flavour of honey, grass, hay, malt, oak, flowers and a lot of spices noticeable on the finish. Aftertaste shows a subdued earthy flavour, but a well refined sweetness from honey and toffee. Overall, a nice and smooth herbal flavour to go with tall the honey! Great to sample here at Whole Foods for only US$3,50! I sampled this full pint on draught at Whole Foods in Falls Church (Tyson’s Corner) on 01-May-2014 for US$3,50.

4oz pour at the Northern Virginia BrewFest. Poured a light hazy yellow color with a small off-white head. Aroma was lots of fresh, juicy citrus notes - citra? Galaxy? Lots of citrus fruits. Flavor was crisp, juicy citrus notes, some floral character, pretty good!

This is the first oyster stout I had while actually eating oysters thanks to some event I stumbled into by accident at Glen’s Garden Market. Free food is awesome. This one has nice roast and a good dose of oyster saltiness. Pours black with good head and lacing. Bitter and lightly salty finish. Light oyster notes. These guys make good dark beers. Tap.

Good show for these local guys. They make a great porter and this is a very drinkable, balanced imperial stout. Pours black with great head and lacing. Roast and dark chocolate with some subtle hops. Sweet and bitter finish. Booze well hidden. Hopefully they bring this back and pump it up a little to make something truly great. Tap at Black Squirrel.

Growler from Drake. Pours hazy golden with small white head. Aroma is pine hops, medium body, medium carbonation, and some small bubble lacing. Taste is some citrus up front, herbal hops, pine hops, peppery rye, some spice, and some malt backbone. I would have guessed session IPA that has some rye. Not that easy to drink for the abv, but still pretty quaff able. Different and interesting, but not a favorite.
