On tap at the brewery. I'm not taking any of the unpleasantness of my visit today out on this beer. The only one I had while I was there (why was that? because nobody working today knows how to make customers happy). Hazy gold. Nose is orange, sponge, light skunk in the nose. Flavor is orange peel, cracker, wet sponge. Meh. Now as far as the visit: fuck you and your thirty cent delivery charge because they're so far out from Charlottesville that they're just adding a random charge to every ticket. Fuck you for telling my party, two of whom traveled over 5000 miles to be here, one of whom was their first impression of a US brewery, that we had to join the wait list for a table when there were numerous empty tables available (and when asked about the open tables the answer was they need to be cleaned. - OH REALLY? There's nothing on them, and how long does it take to wipe done an empty, already clean, table. Fuck you for changing the tip from 20% to 22% right in front of me after I asked about your 30 cent delivery charge. I will NEVER be back, and I WILL NOT miss your shitty beer. I will also never purchase your shitty beer at Kroger again (so hopefully I remember, and this will be my LAST DB rating ever).

Clear gold pour. Pumpkin with allspice flavor and clove notes. Palate is spice and pumpkin. Gets me in the mood for Fall! Medium bodied and medium carbonation
