Bottle - thanks Drew! Pours clear light amber with a medium off-white head that slowly dissipates with nice lacing. Tons of visible carbonation in the beer. Aroma is citrus, grapefruit, spruce, resin, quite nice. Flavor is resinous, lightly sweet and medium bitter, with a lasting bitter finish. Full bodied and oily in the mouth. Quite the nice hop bomb, with a dangerously well masked ABV.

Bottle. Gorgeous rose color, large pink head. Aroma of softly sour raspberry, citrus. Taste is softly sour fruit. Doesn’t taste very berliner weissey, but more like a very nice lambic. Reminds me of Rose de Gambrinus. Delicious. Nice to see this one in DC!
