Description
At Steel String we are connoisseurs of that unassuming bit of land between the North Carolina mountains and the ocean known as the piedmont. Inspired by the agriculture bounty of this region, and the funky, free-spirited vibes of Carrboro, Steel String adopts modern American brewing styles and techniques into something that is uniquely North Carolinian. If its been done right, inside our beer is a part of the character and culture of this local community.

Bottle at the JimGreen tasting, Den Haag, December 2017. Poured a hazy orange amber with a bubbly round white head. The aroma is yeast, biscuit dough, light fruit. The flavour is moderate sour with a crisp fresh tart citrus, dry vinous palate. Medium to light bodied with average carbonation.

Pour is a hazy copper with almost no head at all. Aroma is sweet caramel malt a ok hop and some butterscotch. Flavor is malt, some sweet spruce and not much else. Looking at the other ratings I am sure I got a bad bottle. It is just flat and lifeless and very sweet with no standout hop. I’ll probably never get to try this beer again so it is what it is.

Draft at Salud’s 5th Anniversary Party, congrats! Cloudy yellow color, small white head. Herbal aroma, subtle citrus, subtle pine. Taste is resiny, herbal straw. Tasty and interesting. I like the low abv, but way to high to be a kvass.
