Draft. Not an attention getter. But nothing offensive either. Just kind of standard and easy to drink. Clear, amber pour with a short, white head. The aroma is mostly malty with a slightly sweet nose. Notes of caramel and bread. Hint of butterscotch. The flavor is lightly sweet with a lightly bitter finish. Medium body and watery texture. Lively carbonation.

Bottle. Pour is a copper color with a touch of a head that dies quickly. Aromas of dusty grain and malt are about all I’m picking up. Flavor is a mix of malt and grain dust with a thread of apple juice sweetness and a watery finish with a hint of spice.

[Had this as Summerfest at the DC location] A hazy orange beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is very lightly malty with hints of wheat. The flavor is crisply sweet malty with good hop notes that gives the beer both citrusy notes as well as a bitter finish, that balances the sweetness nicely.
