Velvet Glow is an homage to an old Grace Brother’s Brewing beer brewed right here in Santa Rosa! The Grace Brother’s brewery was around from 1933 to 1966, where they created many iconic beer brands including Velvet Glow and Happy Hops. This Helles style lager is a clean, crisp, and refreshing beer with a bright straw color, aromas and flavors of bread crust and biscuit. There is a very low bitterness with a mild hop aroma.

On tap at Brook Bar & Deck. Pours a clear pale gold with visible carbonation and a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a good amount of straw with a bit of sweet grains and a touch of biscuit underlying. Flavor has more sweet grains up front with growing straw and a hint of hay underlying.

Bottle. Pours a clear pale yellow hue with a small white head. A light grainy husky malt nose. Sweet honey touched malts, bready, fresh hops. Very clean of course. Lovely.

510ml bottle from Whole Food, Laguna Niguel. Drank at my daughters on 28th July 2023. Bottle on 9th May 2023. Clean pale golden body, weak white head. Slight malty nose and initial taste, some hop action arrives mid-sip, decent Helles all round.

Blond colour, clean. Nice aroma, grass, bread (7.5). Dry mouthfeel, the flavour is a bit too much towards hay than crispy bread, and it has some peppery and grassy hop note(7-); clean bitterness. Nice.

Very cool. Tribute to an old beer made locally to RR. Great bready malt graininess, slight sweetness, hint of lemon citrus brightness.

Draft pour to a dimpled mug at Brouwers Cafe. Long time no see to both parties. Clean and clear golden pour. Lasting head. Gentle grain and softer wax jote. Smooth taste with a refreshing finish. Slick, with no bites. Absolute crusher of a lager. Nicely put together.
