This brew pours an amber body with a thin head. overly malted and unbalanced with a slight hop finish. cherries and licorice in the aroma, a dissapointing marzen.

Cloudy amber. Looks like a Belgian Ale. Very Middle of the road, taste- wise though. Decent Presence of jops without being overbearing. Some light hint of citrus detected.

Draught at the brewpub, Washington DC
Golden color. The aroma is too simple. Some sweetish malt flavor. Too easy.

On tap at GB restaurant. Light malty sweet aroma, a bit of a strange metallic quality perhaps... flavors were mostly sweet and malty with some yeasty bready quality to it. Loads of sweetness...pretty much the dominant aspect of this beer. Medium to light body with a fair amount of carbonation... not bad but I’m not sure I could take too much of this.

Very good seasonal served on tap at the microbrewery. A litre goes down almost too easy.

On tap at the Hawaii Location. Poured a medium and lightly hazy amber color with a smaller sized white head. Aromas of toasted grains, earthy, and caramel. Tastes of caramel, bready, toast, and lighter earthiness.

VA Beach location. Faint grassy aroma. Slightly sweet honey malt flavors, faint grassiness on the finish. Almost approaching a very light bock in some ways. Not bad, not great.
