COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Amber ale brewed with the spirit of the Anacostia Watershed Society, which continues the fight of restoring the Anacostia River to be a place that wild life can thrive again. Medium bodied with an upfront bitterness that leads to a toasted malt finish.

lamas (1469) - Washington DC, USA - APR 1, 2012
Draft on 03/31/12. Showed up to the table a slightly hazy deep copper color with a skim of a beige head. There was a fairly subtle aroma of lemony/grapefruity citrus, a touch of caramel, graininess, and hints of spice. Went down fairly thin and crisp. A light caramel maltiness was present upfront taste-wise. There was a well-balanced finish with some citrusy qualities. Slightly dry and bitter at the end. Kinda grainy throughout. Refreshing and sessionable, but pretty boring.
