Draft sample at Knoxville Brew Jam. Poured a clear amber color with an average frothy white head that mostly diminished with fair lacing. Moderate toasted malt aroma. Medium body with a slick texture. Medium bittersweet flavor with a medium bitter finish of short duration. Flavorful pale ale.

On tap at Barley’s Taphouse in Asheville. Amber in color. Very weak head. Low carbonation. Medium hop level. Slightly metal tasting. Not my favorite of the Catawba beers.

Reddish copper, with no head. Bready, sweetish aroma - nice, if fairly non-descript. Clean and crisp, with a nice spicy, gingerbread note. Subtle, crisp citrusy hop bite at the end. On tap at Barley’s, Asheville.

Cereal, red malt aroma. Very bright, clear, red. Tangy, astringent, some vinegar, some unidentifiable vegetable - some kind of pepper - almost chipotle without the burn. Medium light sweetness. Good with the pizza at the Mellow Mushroom - on tap, Asheville.

KBjam. Nice rich amber pour with white head and lace. Aroma of medium roasted malt and light hops. Flavor of semi sweet malt and a complimentary pleasant bitter finish. A pretty easy drinking amber.

Knoxville Brewers’ Jam 2006. Pours copper with a beige head. The aroma is biscuit and bread with some raisin. The flavor has a nice American hop quality to it, backed by some toast and charcoal. The finish is slightly smoky. Generic, but tasty.
