Apr 15, 2005 I liked it, but it did not blow my socks off. It was a bit hoppy, which was much nicer than most of the ambers out there. I enjoyed the balance in the beer. If you are an amber fan, this is definitely one of the better one’s out there.

Mar 29, 2005 Draft. Dark amber color with a medium white head that diminished slowly. Aroma was complex hops and a roasted tone. Flavor was medium hops and malt with medium sweet finish with a small citrus tone. Very drinkable.

Jan 10, 2005 Hint of hops in the nose. Some sweet malt evident as well. Promising. Nice amber/red color. Nice lace. Hops! Now I know why it’s the 2nd highest rated Big River brew and the 11th highest in the state of TN. Still, there could be more flavor here. Needs to be sweeter to balance the Cascades.

Oct 24, 2004 Updated: Sep 4, 2006Disney Boardwalk. On Tap. Everything a red should be, this is smooth silky version with ample hops (perhaps more than usual for the style) and a nice spicy quality. Malt is slightly sweet but backs off quickly towards the finish. The nose is full of caramel malt. Great with a burger.

May 19, 2004 Updated: Jul 5, 2005Wow I found me some lost beer notes so here it goes... A dark amber color with a large head. Flavor is quite hoppy especially for a beer labeled an amber ale. A nice malt profile that makes this a very well balanced beer. Overall a good beer and it’s what a good session ale should taste like.
Earlier Rating: 8/24/2003 Total Score: 3.6
Appearance is amber as you would expect. Aroma is somewhat hoppy with a load of malt. Flavor is fairly complex with the malt and hop flavor balancing out well. Refreshing out in the 100 degree heat. Another good beer from Big River.

May 16, 2004 On tap at Boardwalk in Disneyworld. A nice, mildly hoppy ale. Good balance between malt/hops. A little thin mouthfeel, carbonation was very light.
Good session beer.

Mar 10, 2004 Tap, EPCOT, 3/04. Cloudy amber/red with foamy head that lasted nicely. Good looking beer. Strong cascade aromas, mild, but pungent. Nice malt front and hop back that balances well. Melons and underripe pears, caramel. Yum! Crisp, smooth, slightly astringent finish, too.
