Turned my head and the froth was gone. Flavor was good, but not too far and away from Dublin's own. I imagined a rougher mouth feel, like Sweet potato pie. But none to be found on this pour, which I EXPECT IS NOT REPRESENTATIVE. More like the coffee with which you'd wash back the pie. To be fair, she offered me a substitute. Don't know if there's trouble with the lines the glass or co2. 1 of these things made this s beer #meh here.

Sweetwater IPA at Broadway Brewhouse in Nashville
Beautiful froth, color and aroma on introduction. Citric notes without the clovey, wheat beer baggage. Almost floral, like good French milled soap. Very well balanced creamy malt to bright, bitter hops. This is an outstanding bitter beer for bitter men everywhere. Very nice "more than one" beer overall that's being produced in Atlamta, GA, poured well at Broadway Brewhouse in Nashville. They offer 60 beer on tap, including New Belgium's full lineup.
Yazzo, Jackalope and Hap and Harry's are the three local beers. Sweetwater's is worth the stretch to Atlamta.
Jackalope Thunder Ann Pale Ale
Nice froth, color and aroma. Full flavor, with well balance malt to hops makes this local Nashville production brewery well worth a try, and could very well be more than FAD ("fabulous", "amazing" and "delishyaous").
Green Monster Juice Crusader.
Spinach Parsley, chili pepper, Aloe Vera juice, Tamarin, Lemon, Kale, Apple and Blackcurrant juice. Wonderful fresh innard cleaning aroma, flavor and smooth mouth feel.
Here's to your health.

Yazoo Pale Ale, Bottled
Nice giant head, beautiful clear carmel color, dry hoppy aroma with a nice balanced sweet malt flavor against the bitter a "newly discovered" Amarillo hop their cooking in with the tasty malt. It's obvious that the very #meh Wheat beer I had on tap the other night was a bar room delivery system problem and not the brewer, which makes "FAD" beer (or "fine, 'amazing' and 'delicious'") here in nashville.
I might like one or more additional more hop flavors to round out the Amarillo, but that's what "black and tan" style beer mixing is for, right?

Yadzoo Hefeweizen at Broadway Brewhouse in Nashville
No froth or aroma, mild clove flavored malt which was wiped out but the lemon. Either a unrinsed glass or poor line management made this local Nashville Wheat Beer more #meh than not.
Beer Pumps for Cask Beer
Birreria serves 3 Cask fermented beers at any given time. In order to do so they use a beer pump delivery device, which is pretty impressive in and of itself. It's kind of hard to make "real beer" without this kind of old timey gizmo that was replaced by CO2.
