Sugar Hill has a pleasant aroma and well-balanced taste. Its high-malty flavor and well-hopped character make Sugar Hill a refreshing complement to any meal or special occasion.

Bottled sample at the World Beer Festival Richmond, 6/12/10. Pours a clear golden color with a thin offwhite head. Good head retention and lacing. Aroma of nuts and grain with some faint honey notes. The honey is more pronounced in the taste with grainy and nutty notes and leafy hops. Medium bodied. Decent.

Location: 12 oz bottle from Gilly's, 11/10/09
Aroma: The aroma on this one is somewhat light with grainy and hop characteristics
Appearance: It pours a clear godlen color with a bubbly white head
Flavor: The flavor is mostly grain and corn with a light hop backing
Palate: This beer is fairly thin, but not overly so, with a decent mouthfeel compared with my expectation
Overall Impression: This beer is alright, I guess, fairly light, but it had more body then I expected. For the style, they didn't do a horrible job, it just doesn't go too far. I'd call this a highly average brew, nothing over the top, but better then the macros it might be competing against.

Really ugly murky mud-beige appearance. Vague strawlike malt aorma with lots of footy yeastiness. Somewheat astringent and a little spicy. Lots of old house dank yeast. If that’s what they are trying to accomplish, I’m at a loss as to speculate why.

Not sure how this made it down to City Beverage in Winston-Salem, but whatever. Pours a lightly hazy pale gold color with a medium thin bone white head. Lightly effervescent. The aroma is somewhat hoppy and a little metallic. Light-bodied and rather crisp with equal parts hops and sweet malt. The finish is on the bitter side. Overall this beer is barely above average and nothing memorable.

Hazy golden colour with orange highlights and a very quick diminishing white head. Decent aroma, some fruit, but mostly just malt and a small amount of hops. Light-bodied; Decent maltiness with adequate sweetness and even a hop taste. Aftertaste shows some of the sweetness and a tad of the malt, but doesn't leave the palate bitter nor bland. Overall, better than I thought it would be, and seriously not bad at all for the style! I bought this twelve ounce bottle at Beers of the World in Rochester, New York.
