Recently arrived in GA, I must admit that I really wasn’t too excited to try this – I thought that it had too much potential just to be “another Pale Ale” taking up shelf space. In the end it was much better than expected.
On-tap at the Brockett Pub, Clarkston, GA and subsequently at Taco Mac, Marietta.
Nice looking reddish/brown pour, but served waay too cold. When it warmed a little it revealed a solid malt backbone that really was pretty sweet. I really enjoyed the deep malts. I would imagine that this would be a little too sweet for some, but it fit my taste profile really well. Brown sugar notes, and a refreshing carbonation that I found very appealing and tasty.
It reminded me of something that I just cannot place for now, but it will come back to me.
