Description
The Virginia Beer Company is a brewery + taproom + beer garden in Williamsburg, VA. The brewery was founded in 2016 by two graduates of nearby William & Mary, who were joined by a brewmaster out of SweetWater Brewing in Atlanta. Four year-round beers are complemented by a boundary-pushing rotation of limited edition beers including Experimental IPA's, Barrel-Fermented Brett Saisons, and Barrel-Aged Imperial Stouts, among many other diverse styles.

Can from Home Bazargains, Bridge of Don. It pours cloudy deep orangey - gold with a medium fluffy white head. The aroma is sweet, sappy, bright tropical fruit character, mango, orange marmalade, fanta, five alive fruit juice and Starburst. The taste is dry/bitter upfront, then it sweetens and gets rather fruity, tropical fruit punch, mango, nectarine, peach cobbler, orange peel, kumquat, touch green-weedy, floury bread and nip of spice with a drying, prickly finish. Medium body and moderate, prickly carbonation. Nice hit of tropical fruits. Fairly hearty for this kind of abv, but it works well.

[12oz can from Home Bargains, Bracknell.] A hazy pale amber pour with a fast fading white head; wheaty aroma; weak orange taste with a wheaty body; and some orange zest to finish. Not the best orange wheat beer I've tried.

355ml can from Home Bargains, BB 9th May 2024. Drank on 18th August 2023 while in Devon. Mini haze to the golden body, lively white head. Orange/citrusy nose and initial taste, mild piney notes arrive as the beer warms, decent enough, but not really exciting or 'interesting'.

355ml can on 18th August 2023: BB 28th April 2024, obtained from a local Home Bargains store. Hazed yellow body, lively white head; citrus front to the nose and taste, lemon like lead, softer citrus fruits calm down the brew.

Can from Home Bargains, Byfleet. Aroma has citrus and soft vanilla porridge. Hazy medium orange. Thick foamy white head. Medium bitter. Light resin combined with relatively juicy citrus (the latter a tad muted). A softness to the flava. Medium bodied. Slick to creamy. Flat-average carbonation. Long finish. Nice enough but passed its best.

355ml can from Home Bargains, Shrewsbury. Drunk by the river inbetween bursts of rain. Misty gold appearance, small white head. Orangey hop aroma, continuing to form a orange-led hop profile, some marmalade, mild resin and citrus, soft bitterness. Not bad really.

Can from Home Bargains, Rochdale. Very lightly hazed golden colour with a small bubbly head. Slightly dry wheat with its citrus infusion pleasant, although not overly flavoursome.
