The color of hay with no lacing or head, but it does put on a good display of bubbles. Aroma of malt, corn, and burnt sugars. Tastes like it was aged in whiskey barrels. Thick texture. Aftertaste creates a little pucker with is sourness.

Clear gold with a large frothy head. Slightly floral aroma. The flavor has a pleasing hop bite that avoids harshness. Nice and dry. Very refreshing. Good complement to the puled pork.

Deep gold, good head. A hoppy and bready nose. Nicely full bodied with grainy malts, nicely bitter hop finish. A bit of earthiness as well. A tad clumsy, but exuberant.

UPDATED: JUN 4, 2006 This was my first at the resturant in Southside Richmod. All beers tasted were thin in body almost watery. The pilsenser was one of the best It was designed like an European Pils. The color was golden with a light head. It had more of the hops flavors than any of the others except for the American Ale. There was sourness detected. It was thin.

Golden yellow with creamy white head and lace. Perfumy aroma dominates. Sweet perfumy maltiness. Thick rich medium bodied beer. Unusual at best but drinkable.

Growler from the brewery. These guys were absolutely freaking clueless about filling a growler so we’ll see how this goies. Pours a very clear copper color with a medium head. Decent head retention and lacing. Aroma is sweet caramel malts with muted citrus hops. Taste is caramel, toffee and faint leafy hops. Light bitterness in the finish. Medium bodied. A little all over the place but decent.

Dark gold body with a light frothy white head. Minimal aroma some very light grain however. Sweet taste, though nice spices. Clean bitter ending.
