Description
The brewery (location) is closed, beer is being brewed in Alabama @ Oyster City Brewing.

It all began with a Christmas gift in 1994. Billy Pyatt, a notoriously hard guy to buy presents for, fell in love with the carboys, pots, hydrometers, grains, hops, chemistry, and physics involved in brewing. His brother, Scott, fell right in with him. Their love became an obsession that could only be resolved by going pro – not an easy thing to do in 1999!

We have tasting Rooms in Asheville, Morganton and Charlotte NC. Our kegs & cans are distributed in TN, NC, SC, GA and AL.

From a can at mtb event at Draft House Hammersmith. Pours hazy gold with a solid white head. Aroma is lemon, sherbet, pine and mango. Taste is a nice Hoppy bitter hit which mellows with melon and mango. Good drinkable stuff.

Draft in Charlotte. Hazy golden yellow color white head. Aroma of peppery dusty abandoned wet blankets and overripe apricots. Taste is softly sour fruit, tannins, more pepper and dust. Very nice.

Can from BP Garage, Acton, North Carolina. Hazy paler golden with a small to thin head. Perhaps its the can, but the witbier character is lacking despite the fact its style is essentially there. There’s little flavour to it.

Draft in Charlotte. Both the server and the manager confirmed this as a different recipe than the Queen Winterkill, which is their winter seasonal hefeweizen. Hazy to cloudy golden yellow color. Light citrus aroma. Taste has lemon and subtle banana. A bit plain, very mellow.

Draft at the source. Cloudy golden yellow color, white head. Apricot aroma. Taste is sweet apricot jam. Saison characteristics pretty well hidden. Still pretty tasty.
