Growler from Sweetwater Tavern. Poured a mostly clear, golden orange color with a medium sized, fluffy white head. Aroma was nice citrus, very slight leafy character. Zesty with a slight pineapple sweetness to it.

Draft at the Merrifield location, poured a hazy golden color with a small white head. Pleasant, almost delicate citrus. Light lemon, pine, mild grassy notes. Touch sweet malts. Light crispness. Smooth and was good with my meal.

Draft pour at the Merrifield Sweetwater Tavern location. Poured a kind of light pink orange color with a small white head, lots of lacing. Aroma was a lot of floral notes, light orange and some pine. Flavor was bitter, and quite resinous. Bit of a leafy finish.

On tap at the Merrifield location, pours a hazy gold with some thin white head. Nose is straight forward, lemon, pine, soap, grass. Flavor has lemon, soap, pine, savory herbs, a little biscuit and grist. Finishes bitter and dry. Straight up, no complaints.

Pint pour at Sweetwater Tavern Merrifield. Poured a clear yellow color with a small off-white head. Aroma was sweet malts, light sweet grain. Flavor had some light citrus fruit, with a touch of light funky yeast notes. Almost a tangy character in the finish. Decent.
