3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20This was a great IPA to find this weekend while in Nashville. There is only one placed that severed this in Nashville, the 2nd Fiddle and I spent most of my time there. Every place else just served domestic and the mass produced imports. This pale ale was smooth with just the right amount of hops. I would put his up against SN any day.

Lots of gummy yeast in the aroma that touches the ’too sweet’ side of things. Quickly dissipating head on a honey colored golden brew. Very, very barnyard - indeed, barn loft flavor that’s dominated by wheat-kissed hay. Mellow, but underhanded. Mouthfeel is lacking, though very smooth, maintaining somewhat bothersome residual sweetness. Overall, a decent brew, but far from something I personally would get excited about.

On tap at Brixx in Greenville, SC. Orange colored pour with a frothy off-white head. Aroma mostly of tangerine and pine. Good hop flavor of pine, tangerine, and wet grass blended with light toffee malts. A good pale ale.

Mild aroma... a hazy amber appearance.... a mild hop and herb flavoring... not a bad pa for a style I don’t always love

Very amber but light in features, nice herb aromas and quite good taste too. Good smooth one.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Very still clear copper with a fast disappearing head and rings of lace. The taste isn’t much, but it is clean and refreshing - sweet malt with carbonation and mild hop bittering. The hops, though lightweight, linger in the finish. Quite drinkable; probably great on a Georgia summer night.
2.6 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Aroma for this beer is light and hart to pick up. Cooper color with plenty of carbonation. It’s head is light, but does stick to the sides moderately. The taste is decent, nothing spectacular.

On tap a Cosmo’s on Cookeville, TN. Aroma seems to be missing for this one. What little I could get was cereal, maybe a little hay? It have a thin lingering head and the color was clear and slightly darker than golden. Taste is medium to heavy sweet with medium to light bitterness. Seem a little flat with a bitter finish. Overall not bad, but not the best by any means.

On tap at the hotel bar. I’ve learned one thing about buisness travel: different hotel bar, same set of assholes. Pours clear amber, silk head. Nose of some cereals, slight flowers. Taste follows in a chewy body. All in all a bland beer.

Draft at Bird's in Tally--copper color, no head, not much aroma. Malt dominates the taste with some hops on the end. Not bitter and a little flat on the finish.

Not much in terms of aroma but the taste is wonderful. Light, earthy texture. Hoppy with a little zing!
