Pours clear yellow orange. No nose. Palate is very light, a mild hop. Not offensive, just no real flavor. This is a training bra craft beer.

Draft. Pours gold with a thin white head. Light floral hoppy aroma with some grainy malty notes. The flavor had a light grainy sweet base with light floral hoppy notes. Not bad.

Draught at the Hamilton Place location. Pours golden with lacy white head. the aroma is sweet cookies, almond, trail mix, some dried fruit, and a hint of sweet pie spice. The flavor is doughy pilsner malt and slight almond. Herbal hops and a hint of tea come in, too. There is a bit of astringency in the finish, and after a few sips the aftertaste develops a harsh detergent bitterness.

Clear golden with a fizzy white head. Grain and vanilla aroma and taste with citrus notes to the finish.

Draught) Pours a clear golden body with a small white head. Nearly nonexistent aroma; light butter and grain. Flavor of malt with slightly skunky hops.

Appearance: Pours a deep gold body with a disappointingly small, quickly diminishing, white head. Smell: Pils malt aroma, a touch grainy, maybe even a touch corny with a pervasive background floral note. Taste: Sweetish pale and pils malt taste, with a very fine hint of grain and corn. Floral hops with just a slight tingle of spice. Very restrained bitterness. Still finishes on the sweet side with a lingering floral taste. Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied (but just barely!). Medium carbonation. Drinkability: Fairly basic; not as rich or complex as some of its brethren, but it gets the job done.

Sample at the Brewpub downtown Chattanooga. Light pour with a thin head that does not last. Grassy dry hardly any taste. I do like beer, really! But this round of Big River Samples is not doing it for me. Ok back to the rateing. A hint of bitterness and could use more. God I hope the wings I ordered are good. Moving on!

Draft at Chattanooga Downtown location. Pale in the glass with a creamy white head that left a thin layer lasting and light lace. Bready aroma with some light spice. Biscuit flavor with hints of lemon and spice. Light body, crisp, tingly carbonation.

Draft at BRG. Poured clear copper color with an average frothy white head that mostly lasted with excellent lacing. Medium Euro hop aroma. Medium body with a smooth texture and soft carbonation. Medium sweet flavor with a medium tingly sweet finish of moderate duration. I would recommend this to a freind.

Pale golden, thin white head. Light bready and grassy aroma. Taste is more bready malt, clean grassiness.
