zebracakes (1214), Washington DC, USA Mar 27, 2009 On tap at CBW 03.25.09. Hazy gold, white head. Aroma is tangy fruit and funky, musty cheese. Flavor is the same with some dough, honey, and skunky hops. CharlesDarwin (1822), Point Judith, Rhode Island, USA Mar 18, 2009 On tap at the brewpub. Pours a hazed straw-gold, slightly darkened, with an off-white head. Slight estery head, quiet. Flavor is subtle and rich. Classic esters meld with a rich, fruity sugar profile and a DeDolle-esque balance of ester, sugar, alcohol and hops. A little wet and gummy on the backend, but the flavor profile is decent. Nothing mind-bending, but a respectable approach.
