On tap at the Disney Boardwalk loction. Pours a medium to dark copper color - decent white head. Fresh, floral aroma with hints of citrus, perhaps a bit of malt in there. Flavor has a touch of caramel and chocolate, some sublte citrus notes - very good balance. Overall a decent brewpub amber and the best of my latest vist to Big River.

Nashville. Hazy orange brown in the glass with an off white head that mostly lasted and left behind some lacing. Faint hoppy aroma. The flavor reminded me of a weak IPA. Nice citrus, some pine, and a light bitterness. Light to medium body that was enjoyably smooth and left a slight bitter aftertaste.

On tap at the Disney World Boark Walk location. Poured a very dark orange color with a small sized off white head. Aromas of stronger citrus (mainly oranges) and some caramel. Tastes of lemons, grapefruit, and somewhat nutty. Lively body.

Deep copper red wtih about 1/2" of white head that goes away quickly, but maintains the slight moon ring down the glass until the end. Strong aroma of hops a beer that tasted alot like it smelled. It leaves a medium bittering on the back of your tongue. Not a bad brew at all I would be proud if I could clone it. I could drink it every day but couldn’t drink it all day.

Draft. Very dark amber with a nice light head. Rich tones of hops and a nice malted scent to it. Clean, sweet finish and a very drinkable beer. They should bottle this stuff.

Draught at the Charlotte, NC Rock Bottom location. Orange color with thin off white head. Malty molasses and citrus hop aromas with similar flavors that are accented by raisin and dried cherry undertones. Finish is slightly bitter.

Much hoppier profile than either their IPA or Pale Ale. Vivid red color, clinging white head. Whiff of grapefruit and body odor (in a good way). It’s good to let this sit to let the carbonation out a bit, as it is tingling too much at first. Significant malt balance, not exactly as caramel; stickiness with a grassy finish from the hops. (on tap, Rock Bottom Atlanta)

Draught in Nashville. Pours amber with a small frothy white head and spotty lacing. Fruity hop, pine and caramel malt aroma, medium roasted. Hoppy pine and citrus flavor, caramel malt with a medium acidity. Medium bodied and fizzy palate.
