Aug 19, 2007 Shirlington as "American Common". Poured a pretty clear, slightly hazy amber/copper color. Had a nice head to it. Aroma was hoppy. Flavor was very nice, with a decent lager type body. Of course, it reminded me of good old Anchor’s steam beer, so they did a good job.

Jun 12, 2005 Clear amber/copper coloured body with a nice off-white head. Aroma of light hops, sweet caramel & malt, all with plentiful alcohol. Medium-bodied; Malty initial taste with nuts and cardboard. Then showing some pale hop flavour with an odd-seccond runnings taste (ala Anchor Small Beer). Aftertaste clean & malty - no hops at all. Overall, a decent brewpub beer - not great, but after some more work, it will be much better. Thanks to my brother-in-law Andy for letting me try this! I sampled this beer poured from a growler filled at Capitol City Brewing Company in Shirlington (Arlington), Virginia on 28-February-2005.
