"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

Nice dose of citrus hops in here with some florals and bubble gum. Everything I like about a saison plus some hops. Cloudy yellow pour with good head and lacing. Light sweet finish. Great stuff. Tap at brewery.

Crowler pour at the May 1st DC Tasting. Poured a hazy yellow-orange color with a light off-white head. Aroma was light juicy floral notes. Light bitterness. Orange zest. Floral. Doesn’t pack the same wallop as some of their others, but it was tasty.

32oz growler from the brewery pours an extremely murky, basically opaque, orange with some frothy, white head. Nose has citrus, orange, tangerine too, a lot of muddled marmalade, some mild tropical fruit too, a little green vanilla. Oats are quite obvious in the flavor, there’s a sweetness and a little graininess that makes the oats evident. Flavor is solid though, mild candy, orange, tangerine, a little orange soda. Finishes a little creamy, sort of full bodied but pretty drinkable too.

Draft at the brewery. Poured a totally cloudy yellow-orange color with a fluffy white, 1-2 finger head. Aroma was citrus, lemon, floral notes. Flavor had a ton of floral hop character, juicy notes, citrus, floral. Creamy, juicy hop character. Solid. Reminded me a lot of the Tired Hands / Omnipollo Milkshake IPA beers.
