Description
Set in the scenic Blue Ridge Mountains of Central Virginia, Blue Mountain opened in 2007 as the region’s first rural brewery. Founders Taylor and Mandi Smack and Matt Nucci had a vision to bring the brewery experience out of the normal hustle and bustle of an urban environment. Today, we’re still focused on making an inspired range of the highest-quality beers that can be enjoyed at our two locations in beautiful Nelson County, or in bottles and cans throughout Virginia and beyond.

Clear golden and copper coloured body with a (get this) peach glow and a super thin pure white head, of less than a centimetre. Aroma of peaches (surprisingly!), caster sugar, funk, yeast, bread, citrus and a bunch of cardboardie malts. Light-bodied; Strong peachie flavour with some light grasses and dry notes coupled with a good deal of residual caster sugar flavour along with some malt, bread, yeast, curacao and pure oranges. Aftertaste is dry and light with the faintest hit of salt at first, but more of a pale mellow malt note, with a lot of peaches, even more fruitiness and a good mellow sweetness ending with a bit of tartness and even sour qualities - nice and complex throughout the sample. I sampled this thirty-two ounce growler fill on draught from Total Wine in Alexandria, Virginia for (should have been) US$7,49/thirty two ounces on 31-May-2017 sampled a day later at home in Washington on 01-June-2017.
