On tap at the Arbor Grill at the Biltmore Estate. Interesting that they had their own brew made for the estate. Has a nice light amber color with thin white head. Floral hop and slight malt aroma. A crisp light malt and hop taste, decent Pale Ale that taste great after walking around the Biltmore all day.

On tap at the Arbor Grill at the Biltmore Estate. Light caramel aroma, brown sugar, with mild carbonic gaseousness and some fruity character in the hops. Light sweetness and mild bitterness. Copper-brown clear with thin off-white lacing head. Medium body with medium-heavy carbonation, light fizzy burn. Starts with mild carbonic acidic bit, light crystal/caramel malt and beany sweetness. Hoppy bitter finish with dry nutty bitter after. Kind of harsh on the palate.
