UPDATED: DEC 6, 2019 Bottle. Hazy and amber in colour, with a thin, white, head. Aroma of tangerine fruits with some citrus hops. Flavour had more fruit, a touch of white pepper, rich tea malts, and a dryish finish. Fine.

UPDATED: OCT 26, 2019 Sample on GPR. Hazy copper. white head. Aroma intense fruity citrus an tropical. Taste is mango, orange rind, moderate hops. Pretty nice.

UPDATED: OCT 6, 2019 Pint on tap at Crystal City Marriott. Clear brass-copper with a thin film of creamy bubbles. Mild aroma of grain, toffee, and maybe a hint of citrus. Flavor is the same with even more grain. Bitter wooden hop finish. Smooth medium bodied with medium plus fizz and an easy drinking dry slant.

On tap at Pave Mint in Front Royal. First beer after a week of backpacking so this may have seemed better than it really is. Initial impressions were that it was a solid, fresh tasting west coast style IPA (which is all I really need).

UPDATED: DEC 15, 2017 Dark honey color in the glass. Soapy Irish Spring aroma. Clean bitter citrus flavor with a nice dry astringent feel on the palate. Overall, a good brew. thanks to Dandman629 for his generosity!

Bottle. Rusty and ruddy, this is a darker pour than I anticipated. Mildly frothy with some good-but-thin suds. The aroma is rustic and warming. That same impression carries to the palate, both metallic and woodsy, like licking a log cabin. Flavorful, well balanced, meaty. (#6779, 9/10/2017)

UPDATED: AUG 20, 2017 Surprised at the taste in a good way. Fruit and citrus flavors are good. Clean and a fresh taste. Went well with fish n chips

Bottle at Riverwalk Restaurant in Yorktown. Aroma of dough, caramel and grass. Tastes toasty, lightly sweet, and moderately bitter. Medium bodied and crisp. Dark amber-copper with a milky off-white head with light lacing.

Flat taste with a bitterness and cardboard type hop profile with a harsh finish.

Somewhere in Virginia: pours a bronze amber color with an off white head. Aroma is citrus with a good bit of pine and some other fruitiness. Did not really see this as being too good kf an example of what a west coast IPA is. Not bad though.
