Grassy, feety, aroma of thistle. Amber color, medium off white head. More grainy than hoppy. A good beer, but suspect IPA credentials. Sufficiently bitter, but not really derived from the hops. Ash and lemon grass fiinish. Wanting in citrus flavors, but enjoyabkle. On a side note, I have now sampled all but one of this brewer’s offerings and just this week realized they are only about 5 miniutes from my house. I’m going to see if they are hiring. I hope they don’t hold any poor ratings against me.

Bottle from Norms. I swore I rated this quite some time ago. Never the less, this beer was very good. Redish hue when poured. It’s pretty easy to drink, but that’s about it. Easily forgettable, but worthwhile to get if you have the option.

Blalanced dandelion and rye bouquet. Dingy copper color, medium yellowish head. Watery mouthfeel. Mushroomy and little else. Weak bitter grass finish. Not a good offering from a good brewer.

Chocolate, caramel, and raisin bouquet, of decent strength. Mahogany color, thin tan head, nice lacing. Dry charred oak taste with a short sour kiss at midpalate. Lemon grass and coffee taste lingers for a good while, perhaps too long. It doesn’t warm particularly well.

Nice deep hazy golden coloured body with an orange glow and a very small off-white head with trillions of bubbles rising from the bottom of the bottle. Aroma of strong hops, a nice malty touch, light lemons and a citrus twang that sticks up well. Medium to Full-bodied; A hoppy first sip with definite malt to back it up. Lemons and lingering metallic bitterness follows on the palate. Aftertaste shows a good maltiness, but the hoppiness (which everyone should be drinking this one for) shows stronger - very nice. Overall, a good beer that really took me off-guard. I do like a lot of St. George’s beers, but this was really good in my opinion. I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from Kevin at Grape & Gourmet in Virginia Beach, Virginia on 25-September-2007.

Shockoe festival Richmond VA-Draft: Bready, nutty, and a little meaty aroma. Cloudy light ochre pour, thick yellow head. Taste is sweet caramel and walnut. There’s a faint hint of bubblegum on the palate. Chewy mouthfeel.

I received this as a gift at RBSG 07, but I’m embarrassed to say I can’t remember from who. There is no other explanation for the low scores besides general dislike of pilsners, no matter how high the quality. And as someone who likes pilsners, this one is excellent. Full aroma with saaz hops, sweet malt, and yeast. Flavor is lightly bitter an fairly well hopped, but there is also malt and considerable yeast. Some very light grass and a little salt. Well carbonated, and a copper color. Outstanding.
