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.

12 oz. bottle, thanks to Tim! Pours a clear, straw color, with a small, white head. The aroma is lime zest, light nectarine, water crackers, and hay. Sweet and sugary, with a light tartness. Light, crisp, and effervescent. Bright and refreshing.

Pint can from Total Wine Gainesville VA, 7/19/22. Black, thin dark brown head, good retention. Aroma of roast, coconut, cinnamon, vanilla. Taste is coconut, vanilla, brownie batter, booze, cinammon. Not really getting any spice. Full bodied, booze pretty well hidden. Sweet but well balanced. Very nice.

Gold pour. Thick foam. Peach nose. Sweet flavor of peach with vanilla notes. A little hop and wheat finish. Decent and a good beer on a summer day.

Orange and lilly nose. Clear amber, medium head, minimal lace. Orange, grain, grass, bread crust. Medium body, easy carbonation. King of misses the mark for the New England substyle, but it's a solid IPA

Tap at Whiskey Jar. Hazy gold. Perfume nose as well as floral and citrus. Flavor is the same with some black tea and pineapple. Quite nice.

Tap at South Street. Hazy orange with lots of bubbles. Nose is full-on canned pineapple - there is nothing else here. It's like popping open a can of pineapple. Seriously. Also, flavor is the same. Canned ass pineapple, A hint of green leaf. This is sweetened pineapple juice with a hint of booze in it. Is this beer?

A 750 ml bottle of Isabel sent along by rare beer, I am informed to enjoy by 5/22. With caged and corked beers becoming more scarce, it is nice to have this one to sample. A snifter in hand, the pour is jade black with a credible head of straw colored foam. I have a smell, chocolate, vanilla and alcohol. A drink follows, more of the chocolate, cereal, some orange zest coming through and plenty of malt. Not as hefty a mouth feel as I had hoped but definitely a substantial bitterness at the end. Decent.
