Bottle at the charlotte airport. Looks like pale lager. Fairly refreshing aroma. Good tingly carbonation, as with most all carolina beers I’ve tasted. Hoppy but not too hoppy. Acceptable bitterness for a lager lover. Leaves a mild bitterness on the back of the throat. More acceptable to me compared to most other APA, its lower on the hop bitterness scale.

A bit of a surprise, from an outfit I thought I knew fairly well (well enough, for a cross-country fan of the brewery, that is!). Flying back from Norfolk yesterday, stopped in Charlotte for a quick lay-over. Found my usual bar (in the B Terminal, next to gate B8) was out of my ussual Endo IPA, but was sporting this tap handle (labled "Low Country Pale Ale", in case anyone is keeping track). The Endo IPA has waxed and waned over the years IMHO, but I still count myself a Cottonwood fan. So what's their American Pale Ale like?
Not a huge beer, by any means. Rather calm, cool, and collected, all told. Came across to me as something an one-for-one swap (hop-wise).... That is to say, an English Pale Ale's malt bill (and perhaps the slightly more estery yeast strain)..., but with an American Pale Ale hop bill.
And not a huge "hop-back upside the head!" hopping to this beer, either..., but rather, a very nice and refreshingly subdued complexity going on here.
Between the subtle slightly biscuity malt bill, the carefully controlled hopping, and the easy-but-not-boring mouthfeel, this made for a very nice drop of beer.
It's not going to shock the senses of folks not used to tasting hops in their beers (at an airport, or anywhere else for that matter). But, at the same time, it's not too boring for beer fans who know a thing or three about finely made fermented adult beverages. A nice compromise beer, that might be justly pigeon-holed into the "lawnmower" beer category. Or, in my case "airport beer". Worth a try, I'd say.
