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.

Can (154-21, so 6/2/21?) pour from 1897 Market, Charlotte Airport. It's a hazy straw yellow with nice sparkle, finger-width white tight foamy head with fair retention and no lacing. Aroma is moderate tart fruit and wheat. Taste mirrors aroma. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with smooth texture, soft carbonation and wheat cracker finish. Overall, only getting a tart fruit vs. coriander or orange. Pretty ho hum.
