Natty Greene's (http://www.nattygreenes.com) is a brewery based out of Greensboro, NC. They expanded to Raleigh as well. Some of their varieties are offered at the PNC Arena (formerly RBC Center). It was here that I decided to pay for an overpriced beer and help myself to some Buckshot.
I'm a big fan of amber ale. There aren't a lot of amber ales that I don't like. That said, I don't remember Buckshot to be overly memorable. Reaching back into my memory banks, Buckshot was more hoppy than some other amber ales and had a somewhat off-putting taste. Based on what I paid, I knew I needed to man up and drink the whole thing. I probably need to give it another try, see if my underdeveloped palette at the time just couldn't handle it.
I went to Natty Greene's brewpub earlier this week and tried some of their other stuff, so I know they can be hit and miss. (Of course, I have a loooong way to go before I get to those entries!)
Grade: C-
Price paid: $9.00 (20 oz draught)
