About
Microbrewery in Brandon Vermont.
Always experimenting and expanding
We brew in small batches in our 15 barrel brewery and we’re always experimenting with new recipes. Dan and Pat ,with previous experience from the wine world, get to marry the fascination with the natural world and the art and science of fermentation.
Dan keeps cooking up some good recipes and Patrick the builder keeps finding ways to add more tanks and increase our production.

Can from BD Castlegate. It pours hazy bright orange with a few floaters (even after pouring carefully) and a thick, white head. The aroma is bright, juicy, mango, papaya, peachy, fruit salad sweets, sponge cake, orange drizzle cake and just a hint if greenness. The taste is crisp, dry, touch of bitterness, green, grassy, weed, pithy, zesty, orange citrus, tangerine, peach, papaya, orange chewits, spice and a nip of alcohol. Finish is dry and zingy. Medium body and fine, prickly carbonation. Fruity and drinkable. Nice stuff.

473ml can. Cloudy, yellow-ish, deep golden colour with average, thick, creamy, moderately lasting and lacing, snow-white head. Intense, citrusy and piney, hoppy aroma, notes of pine, spruce, lemon. Taste is sweet-ish, wheaty and pale malty, minimally sugary, dry, citrusy and piney hoppy, notes of lemon, spruce, pine; lingering bitter hoppy finish with a minimally mineral touch and some subtle sweetness. Smooth and soft palate, excellent, gentle carbonation. Very clean, focussed, superbly crafted - very good!

Level 6 Bottleshare. Thanks to Cloin for the can. Hazy gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Smooth palate, semi dry, reasonable fine carbonation. Sweetish and slightly grainy malts. Spicy ripe fruits. Okay, quite ripe and a little tired tasting.
