Draft at Revolution Pizza and Ale House, 1/7/15
It is a darker orange-brown in color. I thought this was a solid, on-style Pumpkin beer. It wasn't a favorite for me in the style, something fell a little short of that, but it's decent enough.

Location: Draft at the brewery, Asheville, 1/1/15
Aroma: It has a fairly mild aroma, light hops, orange/citrus, and a bit of bread
Appearance: It has a clear orange color with a small white head and some decent lace
Flavor: The flavor is along the same lines, with light malty sweetness and thin hops
Palate: The body of this one is light-medium, and it has a decent feel overall
Overall Impression: I actually preferred most of the other, less common, Catawba beers to their flagship IPA. It's a decent beer, but it's a little dull.

Location: Draft at the brewery, 1/1/15
Aroma: This one has a fairly light spice, wheat, and yeast aroma, mild citrus
Appearance: It pours a clear yellow color, with a small white head, and spotty lace
Flavor: The flavor is similar to the nose, spice, wheat, yeast, a little more character than the nose
Palate: This one has a clean feel and average carbonation, and it is pretty easy drinking
Overall Impression: I thought this was a decent wit. Nothing amazing here, but you could do worse than to sip on a few of these.

Location: Cask at the brewery, Asheville, 1/1/15
Aroma: The aroma is on the lighter side, with some light spice and malty notes
Appearance: It pours a murky brown color, with a slight orange hue to it
Flavor: The taste is along the same lines, fairly light, with some spice and malt notes to it
Palate: The body is light, not super watery, but a little thin, with a mild overall feel
Overall Impression: This one isn't too bad, but I just felt it was light overall on flavor. Not bad, not great. This was on the lower end for me of the Catawba beers I tried.
