"Want to play a game?" Used to be our response, but because of our growth and your support we're adding this link to ease your curiosity. No, it's not an acronym. Yes, it is a name! But it's not a combination of ours. In fact, Andrew and Kai are brother-in-laws. Each married to 2 of 3 sisters. Richard's brother is married to the third. And Voila! There it is! We are all family by marriage and bond. Oh, and the name.... is the girl's maiden name! Brownie points

Draft at the source. Murky yellow color, see pic to confirm this. Earthy aroma. Taste is overripe lemon. Citra or Mosaic? Or clones.

Draft at the source. Cloudy pink color, see pic if you want. Nice raspberry and lemon aroma. Raspberry really pops in this one, and lightly earthy lime. Great summer beer.

5 oz draft pour at Aslin. Poured a light neon-yellow color with a small fizzy white head. Aroma had a strong melon character. Honeydew, guava, spicy notes. I got a touch of vanilla and then some dill notes. Okay.

8oz draft pour at Aslin. Poured an incredibly hazy orange color with a small, fluffy but dense white head. Aromawas a blast of tropical fruit notes - lots of mango, papaya fruity blast. Flavor was really juicy beer, lots of tropical notes, some light herbal notes. Not a lot of bitterness in this one. Solid can’t begin to describe it. Delicious.

Form a crowler at the DC tasting July 10, 2016. Pours a cloudy gold with an off white head. Fruity nose. Flavors of pine, citrus and caramel. Bitter finish. Update: from a fresh can purchased at the brewery Nov. 2, 2017. Seems far better than the crowler a year ago.
