20th Anniversary IPA

20th Anniversary IPA

22 oz bottle, third in the 20th Anniversary series that I've seen (American Saison and Scotch Ale so far for me) - I kind of like the idea of a multiple beers marking of such an occasion. Mid-amber pour. Looks good. Nice, sticky, rocky head, if...

20th Anniversary American Saison Ale

20th Anniversary American Saison Ale

Head is disappointing. Very weak in terms of all aspects. Bad sign. Color is also a little dubious. Too dark for me. Nose has a touch of soapy fruit. A little paper and little spice, but it's a bit muddy to be honest. Tastes are a little better...

20th Anniversary Scotch Ale

20th Anniversary Scotch Ale

22 oz bottle, $7.99. First in an apparent series of multiple anniversary brews (according to the label) The type of beer that Highland generally does very well so I enter with some confidence and it made me comfortable to take a punt on this. Pour...

Highland Cattail Peak Wheat

Highland Cattail Peak Wheat

12 oz single from Hop City, Atlanta, GA, USA. Last time I drank this it was directly from the tank, at the brewery, on a trip to Asheville, NC back in April of this year. Obviously nothing could be fresher than THAT, but I'm curious to see how this...

Highland Big Butte Smoked Porter

$4.99 for the 22oz bomber from Asheville Wine Market on the Brewgrass trip. 2009 Highland Cup Winner, look out for this in the GABF Pro-Am competition. Poured into the Brewgrass sampler glass in small doses. Solid if unspectacular mahogany body...

The Shining Rock Lager

12 oz single from Green's on Ponce, Atlanta, GA, USA. $1.50. Superb color on the pour which I would describe as a deep burned orange color. Head is initially high but fades to not much. Lace is decent. If the head had lingered more I would have...

Highland Cattail Peak Wheat

Highland Imperial Kashmir IPA

Shared with Dave and a few others at The Brick Store, Decatur, GA, USA. Standard DIPA pour from the bottle, with a good head, retention and lace. Body is a little murky. Good balance in the nose and taste with plenty of solid malt backbone to hold...

Highland Cattail Peak Wheat

Highland Black Mocha Stout

22oz Bomber. Opaque black body excpet for the bottom half inch of the glass where there is a detectable ruby red highlight package. Head is large and frothy but disappointingly short lived and no lace is apparent. Medium body with very little...

Highland Cattail Peak Wheat

Highland Kashmir IPA

Attractive colored label on the 12oz bottle. Very, very light golden color with some lager-like, high carbonation with fine lines of bubbles rising to add to the head. This is pretty persistent. The head is large and fluffy but not dense, and has a...

Highland Tasgall Ale

22oz bomber, $4.99 Green's on Buford, Atlanta, GA, USA. If I had to describe this beer in simple terms, I would describe it as an alcoholic brown ale. Deep garnet pour with a nice initial head but this fades pretty quickly. No lacing. Very rich...

Highland Cattail Peak Wheat

Highland Gaelic Ale

One of the better examples of a style that I usually find rather uninteresting. The key here is a malt sweetness and a hop edge in balance. It's a pretty simple beer, but the gentle combination makes it a drinkable, if somewhat unspectacular brew....

Highland St. Terese’s Pale Ale

Pale orange with some chill haze. Some small bubbles of carbonation keep rising to produce some half decent film and some patchy, but nice lacing. Sweet malts dominate initially, but this is followed quickly by some fruity bitterness. The fruity...

Highland Cold Mountain Winter Ale

Highland Cold Mountain Winter Ale

Updated Review 11/07 2007 Vintage. Bought this at GSO Wine Warehouse on a recent trip to Greensboro, NC, USA. $4.49 for the 22 oz bottle, purchased on the day of release. I resisted the temptation to buy the larger, flip top growler type bottle...

Highland Oatmeal Porter

Disappointed. The body had a lot of red highlights and was quite transparent around the edges - I like to see a fuller body. It was poured for me with virtually no head, so subsequently there was no lacing, but I am sure this beer, if poured...
