Big River Grille Seven States Pilsener

Brewed by Big River Grille & Brewing Works Chattanooga (Gordon Biersch)
Style: Pilsener
Chattanooga, Tennessee USA

On tap at Big River – Chattanooga. Poured clear bright yellow with a short cap of off-white head. The aroma was very light with some lighter fruits and honey.. pleasant enough. The flavor had honey and bready notes at the core supporting almost sour bread and odd, tacky vegetal notes.. not very good. Light-bodied with higher carbonation.. sharp and ugly in all the wrong places.

Draught in Chattanooga location. This one pours a crystal clear golden color. there was a small white head on mine. The aroma is milder, with some grass and floral notes. It is a lighter body beer. It’s taste is somewhat dry, and a touch biter. Nothing impressive about it, but nothing bad either.

Draught at the brewpub during Noogfest. Clear gold with a thin white head. Slightly floral hop aroma with a bit of fruitness. Clean dry finish. Servicable brew, perhaps some stylistic flaws, but they don’t weigh much here. Not bad for a simple Pils.

Pours a golden yellow color with a white head. Aroma is light malts, and peppery hops. Flavor is light malts, grainy, and a peppery hop finish.

Enjoyed at NoogFest III. Clear golden lager with a lice looking slow carbonation. Almost no aroma to speak of…maybe some grain?? Light grain flavor with a bit of spicy hops. Nothing really off in this on but pretty plain.

Used as a palate cleanser at Noogfest, and it served it’s purpose well. Clean and crisp, no off or otherwise wrong flavors. Mildly hoppier than I was expecting, I guess.

Draught. Pours a light, light gold with a faint hay aroma. This is watery with notes of corn and a distinct sugary sweetness. A mild sour, papery sting shows up in the finish. This sounds absolutely nauseating, but it works out to be almost quaffable. Let me just sum this up in one sentence with which I think most people will agree: This is slightly better than the Southern Flyer Light.
