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.

Draft at Mellow Mushroom, Charlottesville. Some collaboration with some restaurant and I’m not sure what they did but this is intensely fruity. Pours a dark brown color with a thin dark brown head. Good head retention. Aroma of roasted malts, chocolate, tobacco, mild fruits. The taste is chocolate, roasted malts, huge notes of citrus and dark fruits. Medium bodied, chewy.

Light haze on this amber beer, good pale cream coloured head. Palate is smooth with good fine carbonation. Smooth light malt, touch of spice. Mellow but flavoursome tropical fruit hops. Very nice vanilla and oak. Little bourbon tang.Light smooth finish. Comes together well, very flavoursome and light BA beer.

Bottle shared at CBC Clerkenwell in London - many thanks to Bruce for this one. Pours lightly hazy, bright gold with a creamy white head. Ripe fruits in the nose, marmalade, sticky malt sugars. Medium sweet flavor with tangy orange, liquified fruits, dry orange, tangy berries. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Oddly tangy finish, moderately dry, pretty sweet, with lightly leathery fruits, tannins, citrus. OK.

From the 12/2013 3R6P gathering +++ Sampled from a 750 ml corked brown bottle this beer poured a black color with a large foamy beige head that lingered and left good lacing. The aroma was bourbon, coconut and vanilla. The flavor was tart, sour and lactic with notes of dark fruits, red wine, coconut, chocolate and vanilla. Long tar t and sour finish with lingering red wine and coconut. Moderately full bodied. Interesting.
