Mar 31, 2004 One hell of a red ale. This is one of my favorites from Catawba Valley. Excellent taste, perfect head and just hits the spot.

Nov 30, 2003 On tap at the Bier Garden in Asheville. Holy crap, what a damn fine amber! Deep red coloring with a nice white head and good lacing. Great hoppy flavor with some mellow malts thrown in there - reminiscent of orange. Smooth finish. Great beer! Probably my favorite CVBC offering that I've had.

Oct 24, 2007 On tap at Mellow Mushroom Asheville on 9/21/2007. Pours a reddish amber with no head and a little lace. Nose is slightly hoppy, good malt balance--pleasent enough. This is very traditional amber with nicely balanced malts and hops. No flaws noted and alcohol well hidden. I tend to like Catawba Valleys hoppier beers better.

Oct 27, 2006 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.
