4/10 — Appearance 4 Aroma 4 Flavor 4 Texture 4 Overall 4
On draught at the brewpub. This is your typical light brewpub offering. Pale gold and effervescent with a thin white head. No lacing. Aroma of light hops. Light and crisp with a faint hops flavor kind of washed away by the bubbles. Crisp finish. Not a lot going on here.

6.4/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 6 Texture 4 Overall 6.5
On draught at Fox & Hound in Winston-Salem, NC. I am assuming this is a Schwarz, although I cannot be sure. It had some qualities of a Porter. According to the brewer when I asked at a visit to the brewpub it is a Dark Lager so I will go with that. The beer is black and a little bubbly with a medium beige head. Slow lacing. The aroma consists of roasted malt and a little chocolate. It has a medium body and was kind of slippery. Flavors of malt, chocolate and a tiny but of hops. The finish is kind of sticky sweet malt. Not bad.

Amber Lager from Red Oak Brewery

4.9/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 5 Flavor 5 Texture 4 Overall 4.5
On draught at the Cherry St. Bar (Adam's Mark hotel) in Winston-Salem, NC. The beer is a solid amber color with a medium light beige head. Thin lacing. The aroma is mostly caramel and vinegar. Medium body, and I had trouble making my way through the entire glass because of the sour aspect. I am not sure if it was an old sample or what. If so they should do a better job of making sure establishments selling their beers have fresh ones, as it appears this is an ongoing issue. There was some malt in the flavor thankfully saving this from being a drain pour. The finish was malty and still a little sour. This should have been better.
