Mar 28, 2008 Pour is a nice red with a small but lasting light brown head. Nose is hops and that is about it. Mouthfeel is light with a little carbonation. Taste is mostly just smooth malt and a nice finishing bitterness. Nothing special and difficult to pick out specific tastes but a solid Highland ale.

Mar 23, 2008 Draught at Brick Store. Not too sure what to make of it. Not as solid as Bell’s Amber. An ok amber with a bit of musty taste. Not sure I would return to it.

Mar 8, 2008 Pours a deeper amber-gold with small white head. Nose is of biscuit malt, slight medicinal hops. More biscuit on the palate, with a slight toffee sweetness, more herbal hops in the finish. A simple session ale.

Feb 29, 2008 Thanks go out to ncvbc for being able to sample this one
Bottle poured into my pint glass produced a good two fingers worth of head that goes to a thick lace on top of a clear amber body
Aromas of sweet malts and light hops slight earthiness as well
Flavors of malts and delicate hops great balance on this one
Mouthfeel is great very easy to hammer this if you wanted to
A great drinking beer I’m going to go have a pizza with it right now will probable grab another one while I’m at it

Feb 28, 2008 Bottle: Courtesy of beerlando...thanks man. Dark amber pour with a fizzy, cream head. Caramel malt aroma with some molasses and pineapple notes. Floral and citrus hops come through as it warms. Fruity, candied sugar flavor initially yields to a dry malt finish with some floral hop notes. Medium-bodied. Good session brew.

Feb 27, 2008 I’m a big fan of this brew. Along with Duck Rabbit Baltic Porter, one of the beers that makes me proud to be from NC. Smells like it will be sweet, but malty and generously hoppy as well. Very easy to drink. If I’m in for a binge session, this is the one I’ll have around for the last 3 beers of the night....

Feb 23, 2008 Pours a clear amber caramel with a medium sized beige head. Aroma of tangy citrus, caramel and malt. Taste is tangy with notes of citrus, and malty caramel. Not bad.
