Pleasant. Virgin Islands Brewing Co is the best and only Micro in the Virgin Islands. A good middle of the road brown ale.

Pretty astringent for amber with some residual sourness at the end. Pours amber. Not much hops or anything. Looks ok for style though. Bottle from store in St. John.

Hazy amber with a small off-white head. Aroma of caramel, dark sugar and rum with dried fruit and vanilla notes. Sweet, but thin caramel flavour with vanilla and raw oak.

Bottled.
Courtesy of Mika H & Family, bought from US Virgin Island, thanks for a new country! Dark copper brown - red color, small off-white head. Grassy, berryish aroma (not the most freshiest bottle?). Watery palate. Light caramel, malts, grassy hops, red currant, harsh finish. Boring, not very fresh.

Bottled. Amber colour, mediumsized beige head. Aroma is cookies, quite crisp wooden notes as well as mild caramelly notes. Flavour is rather grassy, caramel, some mild dry wooden notes as well. Semidry palate.

Location: On the beach, St. Thomas Late December '08.
Overall Impression: This was a great beach beer. I might be rating it too high (but c'mon it's hard not to enjoy something on a 90 degree day in December on a beach!), but it was perfect for the setting.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Courtesy of faroeviking. Pours a clear, dark amber with an off-white head. Sweetish aroma of caramel and overripe fruit. Medium body, lightly sweet caramel and overripe fruit. Discreet bitterness. A very standard American style Amber. 171207
