    Probably my favorite beer right now. Best when served on tap, but bottles will do in a pinch. Very drinkable with a nice hop flavor.

    I drink this at local bars in Atlanta when the only other options are Bud, Miller, etc. It’s a nice alternative, good in the summer, but not a mind-blowing microbrew.

    Great session beer. If around Atlanta area, hit up Sweetwater’s happy hour and kick back

    Hoppy but still seems light. Enjoyable to drink but moderately forgettable. No hesitations to drink if it’s available but wouldn’t go to the store specifically for it often.

    Drank this while it was available in Richmond. Left the area for some reason. VERY bitter to start with but after a couple it mellows out.

    Excellent Pale Ale from Sweetwater. Pours light golden with a medium head and some lacing. Starts out bitter and hoppy finishes crisp and clean. All around good beer from a Southeastern brewer.

    Characteristics: bitter crisp hoppy
