On draught Feb 2005 at Calhoun’s (not the Bearden hill location, but the one right on the river). Hmm, this looks overated. It does have a good auburn-brown color, but the head quickly fizzles and it is terribly clear and kind of looks like it was water with food coloring splashed in. Smells of cheap sour-like yeast, cheap sticky sweet syrupy corn and cheap malt. No hops. The aroma can at least be smelled, but it sure isnt very pleasant. Gross corn syrup flavor, just foul tasting. Watery at the end. I was only able to drink half of my pint over the whole course of dinner. Barf.

Acquired via trade. Once again I am let down by a Smoky Mountain brew. I have tried different samples from different trades and so far they have all been sour/vinegary. Pours a weird amber/butterscotch color with a medium light beige head. Light lacing. Aroma is malt and vinegar. Flavor is really too harsh to enjoy at all, you can tell it wants to be malty and smooth but fails. The finish is again sour and fruity. A disappointment.
