Cloudy copper coloured body with an orange tint and a nice (one centimetre) off-white head. Aroma of lemons, curacao, yeast, light malt and a touch of hops in the nose, more of a wit or a american hef smell than an APA. Medium-bodied; Assertive malt and floral tastes with a bit of yeast, some light metal and finally a touch of hops near the end - not much at all though. Aftertaste shows some light floral and herbal hops mixed with a good dose of malt and a little yeast and curacao. Overall, an okay beer, but needs quite a bit more hops and character to be a great beer. Nice to finally sample my first beer from the brewery, but a bit underwhelmed - still nice to have a respectable beer from Virginia again. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Norm’s in Vienna, Virginia on 30-July-2011 for US$2.25 sampled at home in Washington on 05-September-2011.

From fresh growler poured 08/26/2011. Poured aggressively (callously) for the first glass, then very carefully the second time. Both had huge heads of foamy slightly off-white heads, medium copper color. Aroma was sweet malts, aroma a bit reminiscent of something that kind of reminds me of very very very light nutmeg or cinnamon. Flavor is light sweet malts. It is a bit sweet for me, but it’s not too malt heavy. Overall, it is a good attempt by the brewery for their first Oktoberfest beer.

Shitty coriander aroma at first, not good. After letting it sits, it gets worse. After aerating briefly, it develops a vile burned popcorn odor.. Hazy amber, thin head. Flavor is coriander, light wheat malt. Finishes with popcorn. Just so you know, I despise popcorn. I never had a bad experience with it, that I can recall, but it makes me vomit.
