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.

Pineapple, cherry, wheat malt, and straw aroma. Cloudy golden yellow with moderate head. Moderately sweet pineapple, cherry, wheat malt, and very lightly bitter straw flavor. Okay body.

I’m getting beer advice from a lady who’s eyebrows are both drawn on, and halfway up her forehead. This is the best vacation I’ve ever had.

Cheap can, less than 3$. Pours like a dirty pale pond water, frothy head pale ale. Light grapefruit nose. Lots of initial carbonation biting the tongue. I like that in a crisp IPA. Tho a solid IPA, the sizzling carbo-co2 makes a brightly hopped IPA even better. Such a refreshing palate directly out of the can, yum. Yes there is some bitterness but I can overlook the usually thick IPA hops impression with some foaming action across tongue and down the hole. Its like its washing away the hand soap hop flavor down into the tummy, leaving a clean fresh palate. It seems this is flavored; maybe that can account for likability of this pale ale. The added flavors are nice hiding and well balanced not to be in yer face. I usually use IPAs as a tick, but this session was not rude. There, you have it.

Light pink orange from a pounder can. Nose is light maraschino cherry. First taste is ale-ish with a backbone of cherry. Not quite maraschino, more like artificial cherry if you ask me. Not sure if I'd call this a radler or a shandy, maybe more like a fruit beer of sorts. Different, seems to remind me of cherry cough medicine for some reason. Nose goes a little veggie in the middle, very weird. Not sure what to think about this mess of a brew. Yea, hah, right on the can it says its artificial flavors, who would put that on the front of the can? Well, at least its not trying to fool anybody. Decent co2 keeps your mind of the artificial aspects. In the end this is just another artificially fruity beer. There, you have it. Did not care much for this one, tho acceptable for a tik. Keep in mind I'm not one much for maraschino cherries.

Second tick at the CLT Priority lounge. Free tick to dilute the cost the rest of year. Pint glass, medium pissy gold, barely registers a head but active. Sharp grain, industrial nose. Soft & grainy, lightly sweet, medium low acid, very faint tartness & premium lager notions. Slight toast & yeasty-ness on the tail. Syrupy feel in between inconsistent bubbles. Slightly better than a Bud. It's alright.

$3.57 pounder from Appalachian. Pint glass at home. Hazy, cascading honey gold pour with ample head. Candied cherry with a little orange & cola syrup nose. Very faint wheat. Hearty wheat base. Itchy & starchy. Noticable extra maraschino cherry juice, it's stronger than the added Cheerwine. It makes it more fruity & less medicinal. Boozy, full bubbles, medium sweet, leaning off-dry. Follow through is definitely more orange & ham spices. Itchy, dry-ish, plenty carbed finish. This is one of the better gimmicky beers I've had. Happy 4th, kiddos.
