Bottle from Greenwood Gourmet Grocery in Greenwood near Crozet, VA. Bottling date October 4. Pours dark strawberry red (strawberry brown?) with a medium head. Big malt aroma (caramel, toffee) with a hint of spiciness. Taste is very much the same with some earthiness and dark fruits. Chocolate comes through in the finish. Pretty good..

12 oz bottle. Pours a light golden color. Aroma is yeasty, with notes of citrus, spice, malts. Flavor is citrus, with wheat, and a touch of spice. Overall this is a highly drinkable beer - but not a great representation of a great witbier.

Bottle: Poured a dark brown almost black with a carbonated bubbly appearance, the head was a off white to tan color, and medium cream constance. Aroma is a light raspberry with soft chocolate tones. The taste is malty and some chocolate with a raspberry hints. This was a pretty balanced fruit beer.

Pours with a largish, off-white, rocky head covering a hazy orange body with some small particles floating around. Good lacing and some retention left. Aroma is sweet, with a lot of nice floral hops (Centennial?). Taste is a bit on the thin side, with lingering bitterness.

Peachy colour. LIght haze. Big apricot nose makes me suspiscious of syrupy origins. Apricot extract taste is refreshing enough, the beer body is good enough background. But still, it’s a basic fruit beer 2-step, simple and ultimately uninteresting.

12 fl oz bottle. Pours hazy brown with a fully diminished tan head. Malty and light spiced but also a light bit oldish note in the aroma. Flavour is light chocolate smooth and with a light liqourice note. Ends with a light bitterness and light chocolate lingering finish.

On tap at the Oldsmar Tap House. Served up cold in the tumbler with clear deep copper body, tan head and spotty lacing. The aroma is faint (thanks to the serving temperature) with semi sweet roasted malts and little else. The taste is in stark contrast to the nose with big brash bold roasty. I get malt sweetness and rich malt roastiness meeting up with some fruity esters. A pine hop bitterness builds along with the roastiness masking some of the sharp pine flavor leaving an increasingly near vague hop bitterness into the finish. The beer is too heavy on the fruity esters with a nearly cherry cough syrup experience by mid glass consumption.
