Peabodys Appalachian Ale

Brewed by Carolina Beer Company
Style: American Pale Ale
Mooresville, North Carolina USA

(12oz bottle, thanks chris_o) Small off-white head atop a clear apple juice body. Aroma is medium sweet, apple, some cantalope, cereal. Taste is medium sweet, cereal, some apple, light honey, grassy. Light body.

Bottle... RBSG2006... Clear yellow ale with a very small, fizzy, white head. The aroma is of fresh sweat and just the slightest trace of honey. The perfectly balanced flavor is pretty much "characteristic-free." It’s club soda. Less than medium-bodied and maybe lightly creamy with fizzy carbonation. Short, crisp, mildly bitter finish. No one’s feelings would be hurt if the grain bill for this beer were a little weightier.

Thanks to Ross for this one. It pours clear dark straw with 1-finger off-white head. Aroma of bready malt, some cirtus, hops, and apricotty fruit. Tastes crisp, fresh, with a fruity, citrusy, hoppy flavor with some honey at the finish. Medium bodied and refreshing. Methinks this one is underrated a bit.

Leftover bottle from RBSG 2006. Pours a faded amber with a small white head. Nose is lightly hopped with a touch of honey and sweet maltiness. Taste is light hops, sweet malts, and bordering on a typical pale ale. Somewhat lacking in anything distiguishing. Maybe light light grassiness in there as well, in spots. Body is light, slightly crisp and a bit fizzy. Finishes with more light bitter, hops, sweetish malts and a touch of honey. Meh...

12 oz bottle, given to me by the generous chris_o. Pours a clear dark yellow gold under a small fine bubbled white head that quickly faded. Aroma is fruity with some lightly piney hops and some toasted and sweet caramel malts. Rather husky and grainy smelling. Flavor is mostly husky and grainy malt up front with a very light drying bitterness on the finish. Pretty light in flavor. Mouthfeel is thinnish and very fizzy with some grainy harshness on the finish. Overall, this was pretty light all around and the mouthfeel was a little distracting.

Hazy golden out of the bottle with a short lived fizzy head. Light nose. Lots of grass and pine hops over a yeasty dough body. Thins as it warms. Better with food.

Bottle: Pours a clear gold with a white head. Aroma, grassy lemon notes, light bready and pale malts, some citrus. Flavor, citrus and grassy hops, some grains, pale malts, a slight metallic taste on the finish.

Pours light, mostly clear orange with a very small short lived white head. Smell is bright fresh, clean malt and faint simple grassy hops. Taste is rather simple malt, with some lemony character, and lightly bittering and flavored hops. Hint of a lemony tart twang, in a nice way in the finish. Pretty mild and easy drinking but not a lot of flavor. Still not bad at all.
