Can @ Patricks. Black body with a nice, creamy beige head. Nice aroma with dark, light roasted malt, coffee and dark chocolate. Pleasant and smooth in taste, mild roasted dark malt, some coffee and chocolate. Not very complex, but tasty and super smooth. Nice body and medium aftertaste. Nice and easy drinkable summer stout.

3/6/2020. Sample courtesy of the SHIG, cheers! Pours hazy pale orange gold with a moderate foamy cream white head. Aroma of citrus, grapefruit, light tropical fruits and a touch of pine. Medium plus orange cordial sweetness, low bitterness. Moderate body, soft carbonation. Aroma was nice but was a little artificially sweet.

Virginia Beer Liquid Escape 4.4% Tart Ale This seems to be a take on a gose, it’s got a soft dusty pale malt aroma with tart toejam, a salty minerality and light sourness. Pretty smooth and unobtrusive flavor but quenchable. I’d say this some to be a summer six-pack beer for the beach or backyard.

Can from Beer52. Hazy yellow-gold with a thin white head. Nice peach and tropical fruit whiff. More peach plus orange and grape skins in the flavour. Very nice and more-ish at first, but did get a little dull by the end. Decent overall though.

[12oz can from the Beer52 Virginia box.] A hazy pale amber pour with a loose white head; aroma of peach and apricot; fresh sweet fruity taste at first then nicely cut through by a bitterness like the fruit kernels. A very drinkable IPA.

Can: Poured a hazy copper color with a fluffy white head. Aroma is light hops, juicy. Taste is a nice soft hops, juicy fruit, nothing distinctive but very refreshing.
