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.

Pour is a hazy bright yellow with a small fizzy head. Aroma pretty much all mint and lime with some wheat malt. Flavor is a little less noticeable. Some lime and this is a bit spicy. This was ok. It is a refreshing summer beer but not much more than that.

Pour is a hazy yellow with a average white head. Aroma is a big grapefruit juice with some green onion. Flavor is a decent bitter grapefruit hop with very little malt presence and this is super dry. Finish leaves some of the citrus hops on the tongue along with some accompanying bitterness. This is my kind of IPA. Plenty of citrus hops and just enough malt to dry things out. This is almost like drinking grapefruit juice.

Ultra hazy golden coloured body with a large, four centimetre tall pure white head - very nice looking and the haze is great. Aroma of grass, light passionfruit and tropical fruits, a dose of citrus and ending with some resin and pine along with a very mild malt note and a touch of sugar as well. Light-bodied; Strong grassy and tropical fruit flavours with a touch of a sweetness, and some moderately bitter notes, but nothing horribly strong or pungent. Aftertaste shows more from the lighter side of things with a grassy, herbal and tropical fruit note and only a small dose of malt and no alcohol or bitterness/astringency to speak of. Overall, a very nice Light IPA with a great smell, an even better look and a solid taste and palate with the tropical fruits by far the strongest. Great to sample and well worth grabbing if you are anywhere down in the area, even if you have to fly back with it! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can purchased from Grapevine in Fort Mill, South Carolina on 21-August-2017 for US$2,76 after just watching the eclipse in South Carolina, sampled at home on the Eastern Shore of Virginia in Pungoteague, Virginia on 01-September-2017 just ten days later.

Can shared by Jack, thanks! Pours near black with a dark brown head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has earthy dark grains with a good amount of peanut butter and a hint of chocolate underlying. Flavor combines earthy dark grains, roasted malts and peanut butter with some dark chocolate backing.

Aroma has notes of sweet grains and bread with a touch of earthy tart fruit and wine barrels supporting. Flavor has more light tart fruits with a slight tropical note with a wine barrel note underlying.

10 day old pint can A: Clear tawny gold with short thick foam retaining well and leaving thick lace. S: Earthy and toasty malt aroma. Low key hops are earthy or leafy. T: Orange citrus pith and zest with pine and pronounced wood and toast malt notes. Tastes like Cascade though there's none. Well balanced leaning malty, sort of English-y. M: Light and crisp, finishing very clean and refreshing. O: Not bad. American hops and English malts strike a nice balance.
