shalloWMeans (143), Florence, Kentucky, USA Sep 22, 2008 This is one of Vermont’s smallest microbreweries, and the beer is only available around Burlington on tap. (I had it at an Irish pub called Ri Ra, and later at Nectar, both in downtown Burlington.) This is a lovely beer, excellently brewed and deliciously refreshing on tap. It has a hazy copper, cloudy amber appearance, and the aroma is very malty with full, fresh hop bitterness, oak, and vanilla. The taste is very fresh, enlivening, fruity, dry, and citrussy- full of leafy hop dryness and a rounded, toasty, caramel malt balance. This seems to be a closely guarded local favorite, and understandably so. Great beer!
WickerBrew (278), Chicago, Illinois, USA Sep 4, 2008 Cool that they are small and local and whatnot, but this comes up a little weak. Cloudy and kind of sweet, this needs a kick of hops or something. I am sure I will be back having it, i like to drink local when i travel. SoVTbeerman (1), East Dorset, Vermont, USA does not count Aug 30, 2008 Not an awesome beer, but enjoyable. I would recomend it. too bad its not available in bottles. daknole (833), Plantation, Florida, USA Aug 12, 2008 BORING. BORING. BORING. Amber color and a small head give way to very nondescript aroma. Some malt and light hops on the tongue. It is smooth, but I would never want this again. jmm635 (77), Wynnewood, Pennsylvania, USA Jul 15, 2008 Not a bad beer, but nothing remarkable to remember it by. I don’t think I would even recognize the beer if I sampled it again. No special flavors and nothing special about this beer at all. Just average.
