Very attractive restaurant. Limited menu - somewhat expensive.

Belgian White (brewed 9/15, tapped 10/1): Small head but still gently bubbling. Cloudy pale color. Somewhat stale aroma. Quite fruity on initial taste but fruite goes somewhat overripe on finish. Far from disgusting, but not well-balanced. 7.6

Virginia Red Ale (brewed 11/5, tapped 11/20): Not much of a head. Coppery red color. Light in body. Quite drinkable - hoppy but it doesn't hide the malt. The finish is consistent with the rest of the drink. Very nicely balanced. 8.3
