Description
Half Barrel Beer Project is a concept brought to life over beers and brewing. We are a craft beer bar, self- serve bottle shop, and brewpub. The name Half Barrel represents our half barrel system (a pilot system) that will allow us to constantly change our beer line up by making them in small batches, and come up with some innovative recipes. In addition, Half Barrel encourages local home brewers and the community to brew with us and voice what you want to drink. At project taproom, we offer a unique combination of carefully selected craft beers from across Florida and the Country, as well as local wine from Orlando’s own Quantum Leap Winery.

Running out of options at Half Barrel. Jellied but not quite hazy, medium gold with tons of lingering lace. Earthy, weak dank, faint citrus rind nose. Bittersweet, leaning rindy bitter with a bit of Aspirin. Slight apple, hidden acidity. Frothy, consistent, kinda okay.

Dark cola, mostly black, lacy pour at the source. Cookie dough, earthy sweet cola nose. Mellow but constant coconut, sweet roast, plum note, a little acidy but no tartness. Low lingering bitterness. Thin. Easy drinker.

Hazy, pink candy, lacy yogurt pour at the source. Smell is a mix of cherry & orange starburst. Eerie. Taste is more like strawberry & cherry starburst together. Medium crispy, oily smoothy. A touch of very thin malt itch, a sprinkle of salt, a little oily, but there's no semblance to beer. Nothing terrible to report, just contemplating why.

On tap at Half Barrel. Pretty nice brown here. Leaning on the English side. A bit dry, bitter late. Nutty grain. With a touch of braady and cocoa character. Smooth finish. Easy drinking and flavorful for its lighter ABV. Solid brown ale that deserves its flagship status here.

Dense, almost smoothie like pour at Half Barrel. Orlando. Sticky lacing. Lots of mixed berries here. Blueberry and tart nose. Flavor is a smoothie texture, with a sweet and sour berry mix. That's about it here. Berry sour. Sour. Berry. Not bad. Interesting paired with other sours here.
