Bone dry, with firm grainy pale malt middle lines with grass and floral notes and a firm flowery bitterness on the back end. Crisp and drinkable.

Pounder from my Appalachian local. A touch high for a basic beer with novelty, $4.12. Lo-Ball glass at home.
Dark black tea, amber highlights. Something of a cascade, lingering froth.
Smells of watery ginger, more potent lime & bitter peel, a touch Malta & white sugar.
Major cola & twangy lime upfront, mild dark barley note in the middle, lingering lime pith bitterness that goes slightly sour. Finish has a touch of sweetness but overall leaning bitter.
Thin, medium acidity, medium+ tartness, a note of festive booziness.
Kinda okay if you want a beer cocktail.

Single via Appalachian for a reasonable $2.66. Sounds like a clearance number. Pint glass at home. 11/23/25 batch.
Clear, copper, very sticky & lingering head.
Hard Chinook nose. Itchy, earthy pine. Soft, red ale sweetness. A dab of menthol.
Bright, acidic, pine-y hops.A twang of medicinal alongside some irritating red grapefruit pith. Earthy, quit astringent, but also very thin. Strong acid, medium-low abv feels. Very dry & leafy.
This is a more sloshable Celebration knock-off or a decently made clone, minus the heavy resin. Good. Enjoying it with a paprika heavy turkey.

Pale yellow with large white head. Cherry, raspberry, lime, biscuit malt, and straw aroma. Lightly sweet cherry, lime, raspberry, biscuit malt, and very mildly bitter straw flavor. Okay body. Light and not very sweet - pleasant light beer.

Draft at The Club ATL. Pours an orange-gold color with a creamy off-white head and good retention. Great lacing. Light hops aroma. The taste is much hoppier than the aroma, with a moderate bitter finish. Light juicy notes hidden by the dank hops. The 6.7% ABV is very well hidden. Medium body, medium carbonation, and medium bitterness. Just too hoppy for me.

Pours pale yellow with a small very quickly fading head. Smells of mint and lime. The flavor is minty and light with mild lime and malt. Very mild tartness. Very light bodied. It’s certainly minty. Refreshing though it’s also blander than I’d prefer.
