Zero Gravity Craft Brewery began in May 2004 in Burlington, Vermont, inside a restaurant we called American Flatbread Burlington Heath. One of the distinguishing elements of our beers at Zero Gravity is adherence to the qualities of the classic beer styles that make those beers great.

Tap, at American Flatbread, Burlington, VT. Cloudy, vibrant gold. Thick, sticky, white head. Big, juicy, fruity orange and lemon hop. Sweet, toffee malts. Hint of pine. Hint of oily herb. Really fresh and lively. Taste is pithy, clean bitter. Licks of sweet. Smooth, clean, fresh palate. Lively, zingy bitter finish. Fantastic.

On tap at Vermont Tap House.
This was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance was a chilled/hazy burnt orange color with a bartender’s pour of a head. Barely any lacing, but I’m not worried.
The smell had the gourdish squash (semi-sweet) with a light bitter grassiness coming about. Malts lay underneath and come out as it warms.
The taste was moderately sweet through the squash and the malts. A decent blend leads into the aftertaste and leaves a sticky finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium in body with a fairly nice sessionable feel. Carbonation feels nice.
Overall, good beer that I was told was an Oktoberfest with squash to blend.

On tap at Vermont tap house in Williston, VT.
This was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance was a hazy burnt brown color with a bar pour’s kind of head that dissipated immediately.
The smell started off with a sliding sweet arrangement of sweet milk chocolate, nuts and coffee.
The taste was mainly sweet through the chocolate. The nuts amplify the sweetness but also lead into a semi-grainy to dry bitter coffee bean. There’s a nice light sweet aftertaste leading into a sweet nutty finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fairly decent sessionability about it. Carbonation runs fairly light and feels fairly smooth and creamy on my tongue.
Overall, I say this was a pretty good English Brown ale that I would have again.

On tap at Growler Garage, South Burlington, VT.
This was poured into a tulip (scratching my beard, not sure why we gotta do that, ugh, things that place needs to learn, I digress).
The appearance was a black color with a bar pour’s kind of slim white head. Barely any lacing, but I’m okay with that.
The smell started off with a big roasty coffee to sweet cocoa. Light black licorice enters in after a bit of warming.
The taste was moderately sweet with an ample amount of roastiness blending to balance nicely. A mostly sweet and subtly roasty aftertaste runs into the finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium in body with a decent sessionability about it. Carbonation hits just right for the style and for me. Nice smoothness allowing the roastiness to just prickle a bit but not go overboard.
Overall, I’d say its a nice American Porter, just wish people could get past this \"tulip\" thing and pour beers into correct glassware rather than stemware for every beer.

On tap at McGillicuddy’s, Williston, Vermont.
This was poured into a mini tulip.
The appearance was a hazy bronzed orange color with a slim finger’s worth of white foamy head that dissipated within less than a minute. Barely any lacing, but what was there dissipated immediately into the beer.
The smell had some sweet and bitter pine running into sweet and bitter citrus, seemed to blend somewhat nicely. Light rind-like qualities show the bitter aspect about it.
The taste was semi-sweet drawing a light bitterness from the rind-like qualities bleeding into the aftertaste and allowing a sly little bit of bitter to semi-sweet finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a nice sessionability about it. Carbonation runs fairly light allowing the bitterness of the IBU’s to be the bulk of the pounding on my tongue.
Overall, nice AIPA, hits everything of the marks of the qualities. I’d have again.

Growler thanks to Leighton. It pours lightly amber with a small white head. The nose is soft, juicy, melon, greengage, grass and some pine needles. The taste is crisp, bitter, grassy hops, melon, mellow sweetness and more melon towards the finish. Medium body and fine carbonation quite a lot of melon and not much else. Ho hum.

Growler shared in NH. Pours mostly clear gold with a creamy white head. Nice mellow tangerine aroma, pale bread. Medium sweet flavor with some sugary white bread, more tangerine, light oily pine. Medium bodied with average carbonation. More citrusy hops in the finish, slight grassy bitterness, bready pale malts. Not bad.
