Description
Opening its production and tap room doors in October of 2011, NoDa Brewing Company has since become one of the Charlotte area’s winningest breweries – with silver and gold medals from the Great American Beer Festival and the World Beer Cup.
With a collective passion for home brewing and exemplary craft beer, Suzie Ford (President & Co-Founder), Todd Ford (Vice President & Co-Founder), and Chad Henderson (Head Brewer & Co-Owner) teamed up to create a craft brewing identity that would connect to and grow alongside their beloved city of Charlotte. Since opening in the spring of 2011, NoDa Brewing Company received a warm welcome and has since expanded to three locations (The OG, NorthEnd, and the CLT airport) and continues to be one of the crown jewels of the Queen City.

Crowler thanks to Adam. Pours a cloudy yellow with small white head that lasts. The aroma is dough and lemon zest. Thin body, lemon, dough, acidic, good.

Thanks for the can Jason! Pours a clear orange gold with a finger of foam that lingers. Overripe orange and citrus zest on the nose with kind of old malt aromas. Bread and caramel dominate the palate with more overripe citrus.

Can at the July DC RB mini-tasting. Poured a clear yellow color with a medium sized white head. Aroma was light straw yellow color with a small off-white head. Aroma was light sweet malts, some bit of funky notes to be honest.

Deep dark brown coloured body with a thinnish, relatively fast-dying tan head that starts at a centimetre tall but fades quickly to just about nothing. Aroma of coffee, light coconuts and sugars (molasses, even) with a big hit of roasted malt and some grain in the mix. Medium-bodied; Assertive toasted and roasted malt flavours with a little bit of milk (perhaps up to 50% cacao) chocolate and a good dose of coffee notes right behind along with a very noticeable amount of coconut (toasted?) right behind and a touch of lactose at the end. Aftertaste shows quite a bit of bitterness from the malts with a little coconut and coffee flavouring, but the coffee and roasted notes are by far the strongest. Overall, a decent and powerful beer throughout, but somehow doesn't show much alcohol (which is a good thing), and the body is a touch thin (which is why i'm happy to see this categorised as a Porter). Nice to sample and a good option if you are looking for a coconut based dark beer or a porter in general and can find this! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can purchased from GrapeVine in Fort Mill, South Carolina on 21-August-2017 for US$2,98 a few hours after watching the Eclipse in South Carolina, but a few hours BEFORE leaving back for North Carolina & South Carolina on 24-May-2018 at home in Washington.

Mostly clear golden coloured body with a slight tint of copper, all without much head at all - a thin off-white head starts the beer but fades almost immediately. Aroma of grass, light grain, some subtle alcohol and sweet notes and very little else - mellow fruits that show the hops as well perhaps. Light to just about Medium-bodied; Strong grassy and herbal flavours of the hops at first with a dose of light citrus and more crisp, vibrant hop notes with a light bitterness from the hops, but the malt is very nice and incredibly clean - I wouldn't have known this was grits/cornmeal at ll, but it worked out nicely with these hops. Aftertaste is very crisp, clean and showcasing the hops much more than the malt, but in a good way with grassy and floral notes the strongest and a subdued but noticeable bitterness. Overall, a nice and enjoyable IPA that shows the characteristics of an IPA but a lightness and easy-to-drink profile of a Light IPA - nice and well worth trying to find if you like IPAs, prefer them a bit higher alcohol than a Light IPA and have to deal with the heat in the summertime down South at all! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can purchased from Good Bottle Company in Charlotte, North Carolina on 09-May-2018 for US$3,25 sampled at home in Washington on 22-May-2018.
