Ormond Brewing Company Reviews

Kleg	4.5 Ormond Oktoberfest Oktoberfest in spring! 12 oz. can from Total Wine - Daytona Beach. Pours a crystal clear bronze color with a khaki head and good retention. Good lacing too. Light caramel malt aroma. Sweet caramel malt flavor and a sweet finish. No bitterness. Good carbonation. Medium body. A great American Oktoberfest beer. Smooth and clean. I could drink this all day long. Prost! Tuesday, March 29, 2022
andrewje41	3.6 Ormond Tr-Hop-Ical Draft pour pint at Daytona Taproom. Clean, clear golden appearance. Active carb, rocky foam head. Clean flavor, subtle pine, juicy citrus. Aroma is more on the piney side. Grassy and dank. Citrus peel bitterness. Cool and refreshing finish. Friday, February 18, 2022
Jow	3.1 Ormond Crabbys IPA Draft at the beach bar. Light yellow pour and small head. Nose is faint citrus and pine. Tastes the same, pine, lemon, herbal. Thin bodied medium bitterness. Generic old school Friday, December 31, 2021
Kleg	3.3 Ormond Donut Stout Draft at the brewery. Pitch black with zero head or lacing. Dark and sweet with a little light coffee flavor and some other background flavor I can't identify. Okay, but I was hoping for better. Sunday, February 7, 2021
Kleg	3 Ormond Dark Star Draft at the brewery. Pitch black with a small beige head. Looks like motor oil and the flavor isn't far off either. All the flavors are muddied together into a black mess leaving nothing but alcohol flavor. Yes, there is a sweetness lost somewhere in there. Heavy body. Thick mouthfeel. Overdone. I guess it's too complex for me. Sunday, February 7, 2021
Kleg	3 Ormond 80 Shilling Draft at the brewery. Only 5.4% ABV. Opaque very dark brown color with zero head or lacing. Very generic flavor overall. It's supposed to have a butterscotch and toffee taste but I'm not picking it up. It is clean and smooth with a hint of caramel, but overall there's not enough substance here. No bad flavors, but no real Scottish ale flavor either. Sunday, February 7, 2021
Kleg	3.5 Ormond Livin' The Dreamsicle Draft at the source. Dirty gold color with a small white head. Citrus and pineapple aroma. Tastes like a fruity blonde ale. Goes down smooth and easy. The 6.7% ABV is invisible. No hops or bitterness noted in the taste either. I'm not an IPA guy, so I'm surprised how much I like this. Sunday, February 7, 2021

shawnmurphy	2.3 Ormond Bee Hoppy Sampled in a flight at the Sanford Brewing Company brewpub while traveling on vacation in Florida. Pours crystal clear pale golden yellow with zero head or lacing. Aroma: cider vinegar, honey (both super faint). Flavor: sickly sweet honey, cider vinegar, sub-par white wine, a tiny bit of bitterness at the finish, yet there's a cloying Juicy Fruit gum taste that lingers. Mouthfeel: medium-bodied, oily finish. Wednesday, April 3, 2019

UnicornBrewing	2.9 Ormond Ponce Inlet Blonde Quiet foam, 10/11/2017 on bottom. Like early am waves gently rolling onto the undisturbed sand. A bit sour as a salty old sailor who has grown lean from years at sea, light, no body fat, sun bleached blonde hair and tan skin stuck to bones ala Iggy Pop or a seagull. Not a lot of fruitiness, tart backbone standing tall on a crisp morning. If this is your last beer of the night, i understand, perhaps stashed in the crisper. Cleans mouth a bit so not brushing is not end of world. Would go well with fruit, kiwi, berries, apple in a bowl for breakfast outside. Overall, something I’d keep in backyard and not show off too much. Tuesday, January 16, 2018
UnicornBrewing	3.8 Ormond Tr-Hop-Ical Tri-Hop-Ical IPA - Ormond Brewing - fruit floating on a light sea breeze, blowing through mangroves of blossoming flowering trees, Keeps the holiday season warm from your nose to your spirit w a candy dish of fruity hops and a stocking stuffed w malt. I’ll take sand and a can of this for christmas. Thick as a knit stocking you would hang from the mantle as soon as wear it on the coldest day of the year. Cheery aftertaste like a thank you card from holiday vacation visitors. http://ormondbrewing.com/our-brews/ #ormondbrewing @ormondbrewing #tri-hop-ical Thursday, January 4, 2018

Dal9000	4 Ormond Ponce Inlet Blonde At High tides at Snack Jack. Pours creamy golden wood. Tastes lighter than it looks. Creamy with a hint of orange. And any cold draft beer at a beach bar on the ocean is better. ---Rated via Beer Buddy Monday, April 24, 2017
Shag	3.6 Ormond Tr-Hop-Ical This poured an amber color with a white head not what I expected. The aroma also not what I expected a huge nose full of caramel and some citrus. The flavor is not very bitter and quite malty with some caramel, oranges, and grapefruit. The name may be a little misleading that you are getting a Tropical IPA when you are actually getting an East Coast IPA. The finish is slightly bitter and sweet. Overall a good beer though. Saturday, April 1, 2017
Shag	3.7 Ormond Breakfast Brown Ale A brown to black color with a beige head. The aroma contains some coffee, nutmeg, toffee, and caramel. The flavor is somewhat dry and a little sweet with a ton of roasted almonds, caramel, and some bitter coffee flavors. The aftertaste is slightly bitter. Overall this is a brown ale worthy of breakfast you know unless you have to be somewhere. Saturday, April 1, 2017
hopscotch	3.8 Ormond Red Wheat Wine Draft... Pours clear and amber with burnt-orange sparkles and a small, wispy, white head. The aroma features toasted malts and fruity hops accompanied by a grainy malt bill. Full-bodied with adequate carbonation. The flavor is sweet and full-flavored with decent balance. Malty, modestly sweet, not-so-boozy finish. Friday, February 24, 2017
hopscotch	3.2 Ormond Liberation Ale Growler... Clear light-amber pour with a fleeting head. The aroma is reserved, but does offer subtle pale grains. Medium-bodied with stinging carbonation. The flavor is perfectly balanced and interesting. Just a rumor of acidity here, but no infection. Short, crisp, clean finale. Growler courtesy of burg326! Friday, February 17, 2017
Cybercat	4.1 Ormond Hot Kokomo Chocolate Imperial Stout Pours deep coffee brown with a thin light tan head. Aroma offers roast malt, chocolate and quality coffee notes with a hint of molasses.
