Description
6 Bears & a Goat Brewing Co., LLC (6B&G) is named after its founders (and the mascots of their respective military services). The six Bears are 20-year retirees from the U.S. Coast Guard, and the Goat is a retiree from the U.S. Navy. Collectively, the 6 Bears & a Goat have served their country for over 140 years. While we are very serious about brewing beer, we want to have fun doing it, and our name is indicative of that…it is also indicative of the good-natured rivalry between the Navy and our Nation’s oldest continuous seagoing service, the United States Coast Guard.

$2.49 can from Total Wine in Gainesville. Pours amber with a ginormous head - way too big for how little I've poured - does not give me hope this is fresh. Aroma is sweet floral hops, caramel, light orange peel. Flavor is orange peel, floral hops, caramel, brown leaf, honey. Pretty tasty, and my worries about freshness were unfounded. This is good.

From a branch of Total wine in Sterling, Virginia. Deep amber in colour, with moderate carbonation. Light, citrus hops, rich, slightly toasty malts, red berry fruit sweetness, hint of caramel richness and lingering, dryish finish. Good.
