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.

Can at CLT. Tried to get this rated on the mobile app but couldn't get the old or new version to post anything but a score and couldn't be bothered to retype things again... Decent APA with citrus and pine. Nothing special to call out.

Pour is a very pale hazy yellow with a medium white head. Aroma is a some sweet grainy malt. Flavor is again sweet grain and very watery. Good for what it is but still not very good. This also has a super soft mouthfeel, almost like you are drinking air.

2 month old pint can > IPA A: Pours crystal clear pale gold with 1.5" of frothy white foam. Big bubbles, good retention and patchy lace. Some very fine sediment at the end of the pour. S: Tropical and tangerine scent with a hint of honey. T: Bitter hop notes of grapefruit pith and underripe orange. Crisp cracker underneath. Oats and green citrus finish. M: Crisply carbonated and smooth textured with light thin body. O: Tasty if sort of one dimensional in flavor. Worthwhile but there are better, cheaper, more widely available options in the style.

Pour is a lemonade lookalike with a large white head. Aroma is a nice pine hop with sme citrus and melon. Flavor is a little less hoppy but more bitter. This is way thin and maybe even a little plastic comes out toward the end. It seems they change the recipe for this beer quite often. Right now this is a 4.9% abv session ale. I think thy made this one a bit too light in all categories.

Crisp copper coloured body with a nice two to three centimetre tall tan head. Aroma of bright tropical fruits and resinous, dank hops along with some mild sugars, a pleasant malt backbone and some subdued herbal and grassy notes near the end. Medium-bodied; Assertive tropical fruits and resinous hops with a nice bitter bite near the beginning, showing some mild sugars, a light bit of grass and herbal flavours and finishing with a smooth and balanced malt backbone. Aftertaste shows more of the hop characteristics with a lot of passionfruit, guava and bitter resin flavours, but also some light sweetness and a dry grassy finish which balances this out quite well. Overall, a very well-balanced IPA that shows a hop-centric character with the tropical fruits and resinous qualities the strongest, but the balance is just right and the bitterness keeps going to the very end. Definitely worth trying to find if you like IPAs and live anywhere close to the south! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from GrapeVine in Fort Mill, South Carolina on 21-August-2017 after watching the eclipse in South Carolina for US$3,40 sampled at home in Washington on 05-October-2017. This can was made on 14-July-2017 with the hashtag #ShowYourCans. Canned: 14-July-2017 // Purchased: 21-August-2017 // Sampled: 05-October-2017
