It's an absolute miracle that I haven't made notes on Westbrook's White Thai before today. A quick check of untappd reveals that I am one of its "loyal drinkers", and that I have checked-in 31 times going all the way back to May 2011. In short, I...
Fantastic color, with a deep copper pour. Head isn't retained that well, but there's some good lace. Nose has some simply bready malts, but there's also a light hop note that one would expect from an American Amber. Tastes mostly reflect the nose....
Westbrook's Mexican Cake was a beer that made me fall in love with a beer that I didn't want to like, or at least I wasn't pre-disposed to like. It took me a while to warm to it, but once I got there I've loved it ever since, without really...
One of my favorite styles from a brewery that I have a checkered history with (some things I absolutely LOVE, some I hate, and I absolutely feel that they have lost their way of late). Anyway, happy to report that this is a lovely experience....
I have a pretty complicated relationship with Westbrook. Having met Ed Westbrook via a mutual acquaintance in a garage in Charleston, SC just prior to him opening Westbrook Brewing Co. back in 2010 (ish), I have a soft spot for the brewery. I also...
I love me a Maibock, and I love some Westbrook beers, so there's a lot of hope here. 16 oz can from Blue Ridge Beer Hub in Waynesville, NC. While I like the presentation, I'd like it better in a bottle. Humbug. Pour is a surprisingly, light=orange...
If the truth be known, I’ve been influenced by Westbrook’s Mexican Cake - a lot. I really love that beer, and as a result, a special release of something (probably) not dissimilar is likely to get my attention. 11th Anniversary did. Whenever I see...
Pale green attractive label on the 22 oz bottle. The usual Westbrook styling. Bottled on 3/7/16 and recommended consumed with 30 days, so about 2 months too late according to Westbrook. Reminds me of an old fashioned malt bomb IPA - yes. I KNOW...
Westbrook Brewing 5th Anniversary, Raspberry Imperial Stout Simple concept here. Imperial Stout with Raspberries, Vanilla and Cocoa Nibs. The two latter elements are a well-trodden path, the former is something that interests me, as do Westbrook...
12 oz can Love the packing , the powder blue is cool looking. Not a fan of rye beers in generally, and anyone that says the rye in this is muted is, I think, mistaken. Silly, wispy head that dies to leave massive bubbles. Deep orange body. Hazed....
Pretty, dense orange color. Cloudy with a nice head. Retention is less than average but nice collar. Very funky in the nose-surprisingly so. The beer is very nicely balanced. More depth than a typical BW with some significant fruit and great...
Everything about this beer says authentic. The light vinegar tartness with the sweet and sour combo, through to the slightly prickly carbonation, and on to the ABV and the drinkability. Each remind me of the best Flanders Reds. I'm tempted to go as...
Good, crisp version of the style. Quite bitter, Saaz-like noble finish. Very strange, green, hay-like nose - quite odd! Actually on closer aroma inspection it seems more like free, hop, pellets. Pale, lemony cloudiness as the hue; light lace....
22oz bottle, Gose with Yuzu juice added. Bottled 12/18/13. First to greet the senses is an extremely odd smell. I guess that's the juice?! Clouded yellow body. Nice frothy head. An obvious light ethanoic acid note in the nose as well. This tastes...
22 oz bottle, their 3rd Anniversary Chocolate Orange Stout. Typical, oily viscous pour. Head is impressive and bold. Nose offers the standard roast alcohol and not much else. I cannot pick up much orange per we, but what I do get it a burned...
Always happy to run into a new Westbrook beer, and an (apparent) combination of an Oatmeal and Milk Stout at 5.5% is more intriguing than most. Not sure if Ed is trying to christen a new style or just combining the best elements of both. Dark...
Westbrook? Märzen? Yes, you have my attention. Handwritten bottling date onthe label 9/17/13 The first thing that strikes me is that odd, slightly grassy, stinky malt aroma that comes with a genuine Märzen style. Nice and light in the mouth with...
Bottled 5/8/13. $9.99 form Growlers, Hilton Head Island, SC, USA. BF#3. Pilsner and Munich malts, with New Zealand Wakatu, Motueka and Pacific Gem hops. Single French Saison Yest Strain. Yeasty, thick looking orange pour with a soapy, thick head....
Pale orange color. Brewed in conjunction with CBX. Trying to imagine that I'm in my happy place on Hilton Head Island. Westbrook often takes me there, even though we've had Ed's beers in ATL for a long time now. Summit nose with some onions - yes I...
$9.99 for the 750 mL from Growlers, HHI, SC, USA. Bottled 03/29/13. Well this beer has been a long time coming. A few years ago, a few months before Westbrook had even opened, I had the pleasure of meeting Ed Westbrook at a party held in Charleston...
Two separate, approx. (what looked liked) 10-12 oz pours (in undersize Duvel glasses) at The Lodge, Hilton Head Island, SC. I had heard a little about Mexican Cake but would never have sought it out as such. Anyway, strolling into The Lodge at 4.00...
Modest head, retention and lace. Nothing to write home about. Some pale orange hues with very light haze. Lots of onion and a touch of garlic here especially in the nose. Tastes are slightly more restrained, but honestly not much. Light burn, the...
Growler from Growlers in Hilton Head, SC, USA. Aroma is very fragrant and floral as soonas the growler is popped. A slightly hazed, tremendous golden color with an nice head initially. Bone white with a little lace. The aroma is slightly rye based,...
