3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Draught: Golden in color. There wasn't much head to it. There was a little bit of lacing down the side of the glass. Slight grapefruit nose of hops. There was a medium body of matls, with a semi-bitter finish. An OK session beer, but the "Imperial" in the name deceives you into feeling that there may be more to the beer.

Clear golden with a fizzy white head. Grain and citrus aroma and taste with a malty finish.

3 oz Sample at the brew works downtown. For an Imperial pale Ale this drops offs way short. 5.5 ABV? Does that even count as an Impeiral? Not in my book. But here it goes. Very dry light golden pour. Almost sour wheaty with a strong barley palet. I can pass on this one also. Big river has yet to impress.
2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Thin white head, pale golden body. Aroma is pale malt sweetness and little else. Taste is grassy, caramel, strange.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Cloudy orange, foamy, dense head. Cirtusy, grapefruit-like aroma. Very crisp palate at first, then some piney, resiny notes. Crisp finish. Nice session beer.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Malty with a caramel flavor and not much hops to speak about. Light orange color, seems english style and in my opinion it could definitely stand to have the hops kicked up about four notches. Not a bad beer just needs some hops dammit. I’m not sure why they call it imperial as it is nothing of the sort.

on tap-pours a dissipating off white head and copper color. Aroma is mild grain, some herbal hops. Taste is grain/medium malt-caramel, secondary spice hops. Borders on a Vienna Lager with some Tettnang/Hallertau. OK now I had the Vienna Lager which has a bit more malt and a bit less hops.

Draft at Downtown Chattanooga location
The winner of the 8 different ones I had, this was the one I could have drank all day. Nice citrus aroma, and the flavor was almost perfectly balanced between a great malt character and a crisp hoppiness. Nothing ground breaking but this particular pint was nice.

On tap at Hamilton Place. The body was deep gold with an off white head. The aroma was earthy and light with some grapefruit. There was also some fresh cut wood. The taste was grapefruit with some bread crust. Decent.

Draft. Light amber with a white head. Fruity hop aroma. Bitter on the tongue. Good American pale ale.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
on tap. Funny name for this puppy. Pours a clear copper with a small white head. The aroma is faintly citrusy, sweet, and clean. The palate is light, but not obnoxiously so. I liked the malt profile on it: smooth and semi-sweet. The hops provide a juicy, grassy, herbal bitterness but also some hints of soap. All in all, this is acceptable.
