6.6/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 8 Overall 6.5
Fraught @ Harry’s Smokehouse, a restaurant in Arlington, VA. Pours slightly hazy amber with small off-white head. Clear aroma of hops with citric notes and touches of grass. Intense, hoppy flavour with pronounced notes of citrus, bordering on the salty. Bitter and citric finish with rough grainy touches. OK but I have tasted better IPAs.

12oz bottle pours a clear orange with some thin, creamy, white head. Nose has some malt, orange, roasted root veg, some dried leaves, some chewy bread. Flavor is very similar, a little bit of honey, malt, orange, some carrot, bread. Medium bodied, crisp finish. Straight forward, but decent.

Cask at the Great British Beer Festival 2013. Poured a slightly hazy dark golden with a moderate white head. Aroma of sharp citrus and tropical fruit. Initial flavours of juicy fruit, which then fade to almost nothing until the bitter resin hops come in on the palate.

Total Wine, Fairfax 12oz: Pours gold with a white head. Aroma is lightly citrus, some grass, and malty backbone. Taste is a little hoppy. Nice citrus and weed flavors in there. Amarillo hops make this a little bit different from any other California Common I’ve had. Interesting.
