  • Color: Pale Amber
  • A: Bold orange, amber with a touch of haze. Foam is full & thick, medium-sized bubbles, off-white in color.

    S: Aroma is the least inviting part of this brew. Almost seemed too common, but earthy and resiny hop do give it some personality...not not sufficently muti-layered.

    T: Maybe a hint of dried tree fruits, then big malt is very quickly dried out by massive hops that are not big in the flavor department. Medium -high mouthfeel, but never cloying with the hop driers running. Last tastes of bitterness and alocohol are balanced in.

    O: Malts and hops blend in the right proportions, and the beer is likeable enough. Just not sure it special enough to run with he bigger dogs. And older dogs, this I believe is a relatively new enterprise in it's home city of Asheville. If I lived nearby the brewery, I would be a frequent patron. Which would help me answer the question of how this beer ranks within the Wedge Brewing Company's lineup. As it was, I was sent a 64-oz growler just before NYE via 3-day Fedex, and it is super cool experience to get tap fresh beer from a cities we've never been to.
