Big golden amber brew with a nice foamy cap in the tall tulip. Nice nose of flowery hops and a hint of carnations.
Rather sweet as you'd expect. Sprightly carbonation but kind of a flat mouthfeel. On the heavier side, and seems stronger than the ABV. Rather sharp and a little woody. Malty and buttery as it warms up. Strong and sweet, but that's the style. Clean and well made.
From the 12 oz bottle purchased at the pretentious market by George Washington University.

Poured from a brown 12 oz. bottle. Has a tan color with a 1/2 inch head. Smell is of malts and hops. Taste is a bit hoppy for the style, malts are there, well balanced, a touch of bitterness at the finish. Feels medium bodied in the mouth and overall is a pretty good beer.

A- Golden transparent body with bubbles coming up from the bottom of the glass. Thick off-white head.
S- Light malt aroma with some citrus/tropic fruit notes. Fresh grass/straw also in the nose.
T- Malt is in balance with the fruity taste, somewhat of an apricot flavor.
M- Smooth creamy body with good carbonation.
O- Very good representation of the style with a lot of springtime flavors.'
