On tap at the brewery. I drank this beer before I realized that I was done. Appearently very drinkable, but also very forgettable. Very little hop aroma or flavor. Stick with the ligher stuff from this place.

Jul 5, 2008 Draft at Calhoun’s in Gatlinburg, TN. Pour is clear and light orange with a fine white head - small but lasts and leaves good lacing. Aroma is very citrusy with a nice hops character. Flavor is bright and clean, grassy and just a bit bitter. Finishes quite dry with a little linger. Light carbonation with a touch of creaminess. Overall, a very drinkable and enjoyable beer, but nothing extraordinary.

Jul 2, 2008 Draft at Calhoun’s on the River. Orange-golden with a small, creamy and lasting head. Citrus, nut, and grass aroma. Flavor of toasted nut, citrus, and woody hops. Light-medium body is watery with a dry finish. Served way too cold, but improved with warming.

Jun 2, 2008 Copper pour, small white head. Aroma is floral hops. Flavor is crisp malts, caramel and citrus hops. Sticky and resiny but still fairly malty. Not bad., very drinkable.

does not count  Apr 19, 2008 With the departure of GABF multi-medal-winning Ron Downer and his Rocky River Brewing Company from the local scene a few years ago, the burden of good beermaking has fallen to Marty Velas of the Calhouns restaurant family. Marty is no slouch himself, and produces (with the help of some excellent assistant brewers) his own collection of world-class ales and lagers. The Appalachian is my personal favorite and regular quaff. Wonderful nose, aggressive hop character, but with a delicate malt balance. This is one of the three or four best pale ales I’ve ever tasted. Cheers!
