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.

Review based on the BJCP2021 guidelines (style 18B). Can 35.5 cl - Batch undeclared (BB undeclared - canned on 04/23/25). AROMA: medium-low to low citric hop aroma and medium oxidized hops (dried grass). soft medium-low neutral malt background with slight sweetness. APPEARANCE: pale yellow body and cristal clear. medium to medium-large white head, creamy, with style-average retention. TASTE: similar to the aroma with medium-low hops (slight citrus and dried grass). medium-low neutral, soft malt background. medium-high bitterness with an almost dry and slightly bitter finish that persists. MOUTHFEEL: medium-low body with medium-high carbonation. OVERALL: an American Pale Ale canned in April so it has some age related issues. To be retasted.

Pours black with a large head. Aroma is cocoa, shampoo and peppers. Flavour is dark chocolate, shampoo and burning habanero. Fun perhaps, but not very enjoyable.
