Draft. Pours gold with a thin head. Sweet malt aroma with herbal and floral hops. Balanced flavor with sweet malt and a solid floral hoppy finish. Decent.

Oh man was this beer terrible. Mild, uninteresting hops in both the aroma and flavor. Terrible palate

Tap at Rattle n Hum. Aroma of toasted caramel malt and earthy hops. Flavor the same basic components. Kind of hollow and certainly on the watery side. Meh.

On tap between flights at ATL, this was a surprisingly good taste, considering my other choices were bud & light. Hazy golden amber, decet white head and lacing. Lightly malty aroma, taste is of syrupy malt with a drying hoppy aftertaste. Not the greatest beer I’ve had, but I’d order another one.

I had this beer on draft at BWI airport. It had a clearer copper color with a medium white head with average retention. The aroma was a mixture of toasty caramel malt with some earthy hops for balance. A sweeter toasty beer with a slightly bitter, dry finish. The beer was wet initially, and had average carbonation. A great way to pass the time whlie waiting for a flight!

Draft at the Baltimore Airport location. Pours a translucent copper amber with an off white head. Faint aroma of aroma hops and crystal malt. Mouthfeel had somewhat of a commercial vibe to it. Flavor of caramel balanced by some spicy hops with a some subtle citrus undertones. Finish is bitter and semi dry, but had some astringency that I did not care for. Worth a try, but not mind blowing. Decent for an Amber and it does pair well with their food.

Tap at Phillips Atlantic City. Pours out a nice copper color with small remnants of a white head. Aroma of some citrus hops and caramel. Taste is a nice balance of dry citrus hops and caramel, went very well with their crab cake, which in an aside I believe to be simply the best.

Draft, Savannah and Charlotte airport restaurant locations. Clear, shiny copper-orange with a medium-sized and lasting head. Slight aroma of spicy caramel. Flavors of toasted nut and peppery spicy caramel. Great balance. Light-medium bodied and smooth with a dry tingle on the finish.
