With the fam in neutral territory, halfway between Asheville & Brevard.
Hazy, iced tea, frothy pour.
Cheesy dank, slightly lemony nose. Batch too fresh perhaps?
Sticky, bittersweet, itchy pith, long earthy tone, not all that tasty.
Froth, harsh abv, creeping acid.
Very meh.

This was my wife's choice while visiting. Initially intrigued.
Translucent, peach tea, lingering froth. Not dark at all for currants.
Sour, steel, industrial nose.
Soapy twang, grape skin, cider vinegar, not super currant-y.
Wifey thought it wasn't bad, so I went & got something else for myself.
Nah.

At the source with family.
House brews are $4 today, didn't see this till I was three deep.
Very light haze, honey gold, lingering froth.
Crackers & cheese wiz, weed whacking veg nose. Too fresh?
Bitter earth, breakfast cereal, quite bitter white grapefruit, twigs & stems. Lacks anything interesting.
Frothy, super astringent, oily & lingering medicinal bitterness. Thankfully thin. Punchy abv.
Okay-ish ipa self hate for $4 a pint.

Bottle from the newer spot down the road from Sierra Nevada. Shared at George & Sam's tasting in Chapel Hill.
Clear caramel, still.
Serious caramel, coconut, lemon, aperitif edge on the nose.
Taste is citrus with a lovely citrus honey edge, toasty, nutty, incredibly floral, lingering bright citrus.
Thin, low to no carb, creamy, slight tact, acidity is too high, kinda easy though.
Good.
