Unfiltered, unpasteurized, and uninhibited, Hardywood Singel is sunshine golden with a fluffy white head and a veil of Belgian ale yeast. A delicate body ushers tropical fruit esters into perfect balance with spicy hop aromatics. Singel’s mellow, dry finish culminates a truly ethereal experience.

Location: Draft at Capital Ale-Innsbrook, 11/21/12
Aroma: , The nose is what you would expect, it has lots of spice Belgian yeast, clove, and fruit
Appearance: This one pours in a glass a cloudy gold color with a white head and medium lace
Flavor: The taste is really nice, right on for what you want from this style with spice/yeast, and sweetness
Palate: The body is medium, it has a nice, creamy feel, an average carbonation, and a good finish
Overall Impression: I just have to say again, that as a native of Richmond (or as they say now RVA, which still doesn't sound right to me) I am extremely excited to see a new brewery this good show up in my Hometown. This was a really good example of a Belgian Singel, it is the type of beer that appeals to everyone, and probably one of the best American examples that I can remember trying.

Two 16oz pours at Can Can Brasserie in Richmond. Pours a hazy, orangey gold with some cloudy white head. Nose was mild, floral, honey, some white pepper, lightly grassy, some cheese cloth. Flavor was similar, sweet, orange blossom honey, light lemon, yeasty, white pepper. Medium bodied, soft, lightly chalky finish.

22oz bottle purchased directly from brewery. Poured a cloudy dark yellow color with a medium sized white head. Aroma was light citrus, mostly malt character with plenty of bready yeast notes. Very drinkable on some of these very hot days.

Funk, rice, and honey nose, some fusel alcohol. Crystal clear amber, thin head. Much drier flavor of dandelion, with a funky undercurrent. Brief appearance of honey. Mouthfeel is thin. Nice funk, with some subtle nuances. It’s a bit milquetoast when chilled, but becomes more enjoyable closer to ambient temperature.

Sampled a couple of times at the brewery. Pours a hazy amber color with a creamy white head. Good head retention. Aroma of bread, caramel and a fruity finish. The taste is bread, caramel, butter, plum, peach and a hoppy finish. Medium bodied. Nice beer. It should appeal to many, a good one to choose for their flagship.
