Nice aroma. Sweet caramel malt. Pretty tasty. A nice balance of caramel and malt. Very easy drinking.

Nice malty aroma over a beautiful ruby color. Clean malty flavor with a light smattering of teh hoppy. Surprisingly good from a state with a 6% limit.

On tap in Asheville, NC. Nice deep red/amber color. Very nice mix of malt and hops. Subtle hint of fruit, not too sweet and the finish is smooth and very refreshing. This is a very nice brew. Keep up the great work Highlands!

Pours a dark translucent golden-brown with an average head. Aroma is hoppy with nutty and lemon undertones, very inviting. Flavor is strongly hoppy with a nutty hint, and the bitterness is in the background. Smooth finish is tingly and has a nip of citrus.

Tappy tap. Amber leaning toward brown, very few bubbles with a small but relatively dense white head. Aroma was citrusy and somehow metallic. The first thing to hit me was the fruit note: strawberry or perhaps raspberry. Nice malt hop balance. Mouth feel was just north of watery, solid. This was real, real good. I will most defiantly be getting this again.

Now this is a nice example of an amber ale. Concentrated flavors of malt and hops are evenly balanced with caramel malt winning at the end, as it should. Leaves a slight hop aftertaste. Pours a nice tan head that dwindles down the first or second gulp. Nice lacing. I’ll keep some of this around the house at all times. Glad to see it in Nashville. First experience with HGA was in Chapel Hill, NC on tap at Brixx. Frugal MacDougal Beer Store in Nashville carries this in bottles.

My girlfriend got me into this beer. A Very soft yet strong hoppy bite. Caramel and chocolate goodness. Very good beer to tryout.

I’m transferring ratings from another beer app to this one. My tasting notes wouldn’t be accurate at this point since they weren’t captured at the time.

I asked for a bitter beer, more bitter than arrogant bastard and this is what I got. Not bitter at all, the color was not nearly what I wanted, but I do have to say it smelled AMAZING. It was super easy to drink, that’s why I gave it an 8. Overall, not a bad beer, it’s prettu good, alch is still high, so that’s good for something right, at least I was told, took me still almost the whole six pack for feel something, almost a bomber of a stout that I recently tried though.

A really good Asheville brew. Sampled from bottle. Pours a amber color with a nice tan head. Toasted malt with sweetness and a small amount of bittering.
