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.
