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.

Draft at Churchkey. Poured a lear golden yellow color with a very small white head. Aroma was a blast of grassy notes, with a decent amount of sweet grains. Flavor was light biscuit, malt is powerful, sweetness. Crisp finish to this one.

Bottle 50 cl. Pours a hazy yellow with hardly any head. Lovely, complex aroma with the tartness and the coriander blending in. Light in body, low in carbonation, a little funky and this citric/tart and very refreshing note. Some baking yeast comes late. And yes, salt - salt of course! 240915

Bottle 65 cl. Pours a hazy amber with a dense and lacing white head. Intense peachy hop aroma. Rich body, subtle caramel accents but the malt is just a vehicle for the arsenal of solid hops. Intense but never overdone. Nice one. 180815

7.5/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 6 Overall 8
Pours a hazy golden color with some sediment in the bottom of the glass. Medium off-white head that recedes steadily to a film. The aroma is fruity with yeast and malt notes. Medium body with flavors of mildly tart tropical fruit, funky yeast, hops and malt. The finish is vinous and mildly funky with a fruity aftertaste. Pretty good overall.

Bottle shared at a tasting, 5/15/15. Dark brown, large foamy tan head, good retention. Aroma of caramel and spicy infection notes. The taste is roasted malt and peppers. Medium bodied, high carbonation, strong infection has stripped out most of the flavor.
