Gorgeous
The Virginia Beer Company

 

 

Can. Pours an opaque orange with a dense white head.
Smells of green hops and distinct tangerine.
A peachy flavour with a light bitter finish.
Chewy feel. Soft carbonation.
No balancing malt discerned expected of an APA. More like an NEIPA and not to my liking.

On tap at Merroir Tasting Room in Topping, VA.

It has a velvety look to the opaque wheat gold beer. The head on mine was small and white.

It smells like I’m peeling a grapefruit and walking through a citrus orchard. There’s an herbal and floral layer, like orange blossoms. Soft and sweet.

Almost a creamsicle thing going on; the soft orange notes play with some rougher grapefruit. There’s herbal orange blossom that intensifies to some dankness in the finish. It takes the aroma and turns it up.

It’s soft and medium-light bodied, but is served here with medium plus carbonation helping it stay light and igniting the flavors.

I think this is one of the better hazy IPAs I’ve had and I always appreciate single hop brews.

If thick, dense and plush all bring a sparkle to your eye, then The Virginia Beer Company has a gorgeously hazy companion for you. Simply put together with Citra hops, their hazy IPA is the one you want by your side.

Pouring a turbid matte consistency that's built into a milky taupe hue, Georgeous soon builds a creamy and pillowy froth that plays host to a burst of citrus, tropical fruit and a light herbal complement. Sweet with its first sip, the creamy ale carries flavors of cereal, shortcake, honeysuckle and powdered sugar.

Not to be outdone, the hops spring to life once the beer carries across the middle palate. Branch ripe oranges, red grapefruit, and lighter lime flavors in a zesty tone. Apricot, mango and passionfruit bring up a secondary set of racy tropical flavors. Yet trending smoothly bitter, the late taste is softly herbal with fresh spruce, herbal grasses and light hemp.

Full bodied for IPA, Gorgeous finishes creamy, smooth and on the malty side of bittersweet. Although the ale lacks the dryness of a more refreshing IPA, its full flavors give a brighter and more intense fruit character with more balance than usual.

 

Deep copper in color with an off-orangish colored head. Head gives way to nice lacing, however the thin head left over clings to the glass. Nose is similar to an orange pushup, but not as strong. Taste is also slightly citrusy with a lingering orange flavor. Second drink gave me a hint of banana, can that be correct?
