Description
Born in a Charlottesville music hall in 1999, Starr Hill is an independent, regional craft brewery founded out of a passion for great beer and live music. In response to the growing demand, Starr Hill moved in the summer of 2005 from to a larger facility in the town of Crozet. It was here where Starr Hill became the first production craft brewery in Virginia, focused on bottling and packaging beer to ship to around Virginia and beyond. The brewery and Tap Room are still based there today, nestled in the rolling foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Bottle. A pretty mellow beer for a lager. Light, but has a nice malty aroma. Flavors of malts, caramels, and a tinge of hops.

Bottle. Dark amber color. So bottle says Amber ale, but it felt a bit more like a Brown ale. Aroma is malts, with caramel. Overall not a bad brew, but certainly nothing special.

Poured a copper brown color with a creamy, nicely lacing white head. Aroma of malt and sugary candy. Flavor is malty and grainy but sweet. Very drinkable but simple.
