Review – Tater Ridge from Asheville & Sierra Nevada

The headline has been shortened Sierra Nevada did not collaborate with the entire city of Asheville.  The co-conspirator in this case is the Asheville Brewers Alliance and the sweet potato.

Tater Ridge pours a reddish hued brown with a nice amount of lacing on the glass.  I am not getting a heckuva lot of starchy aroma.  Just a hint of toast like malt on the nose.  The taste is a bit on the thin side for my liking.  And it is pretty one dimensional.  Slightly malty but there is no sweetness just a bit of something that I can’t quite put my finger on.  A certain earthiness with minerals that is not helping the cause.

This is probably the weakest of the bunch in my opinion.  I was expecting something stronger with a bigger flavor and it isn’t here.
