Big River Grille Southern Flyer Light Lager

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

Atlanta. On tap at Rock Bottom Restaurant and Brewery in Buckhead. Hmm...how to describe this? Corn. Corn, corn, and more corn. I can see an appeal to this beer, as it seems a bit tastier than most light beers. But then, it tastes like corn. Strongly of corn. A nice brew, it looks quite pale with not mcuh head and is better as it warms. If you like light brews, check this out. It’s not bad....just corny.

Disney Boardwalk. On Tap. I always find it hard to get excited for a lite beer, but the Florida heat on this day was oppresive, and something quenching and uncomplicated was on the menu. Light wheaty nose with subtle breadiness balanced the floral lightly hopped body. Thin and smooth with a slightly dry finish, this is a decent, if not exceptional beer. Certainly better then anything else you can get at Disney beer-wise.

-Aroma: Strong yeast smell with a hint of fruity -Appearance: Very pale even for a pale lager -Flavor: (see aroam) very yeasty -Palate: Simply smooth and refreshing. -Oveall Impression: Nothing out-of-this-world but still a clean, refreshing brew

on tap @ chattanooga. Light watery appearance, with a little bit of head. Musty damp cardboard aroma, with a flavor that I think if I may quote myself, just sucks. Bitter beer face alert.

On tap at the Chattanooga location. Light pale golden appearance, little to no head; bit of a wet paper bag aroma. Has a tad bit of a sweet honey flavor to it, otherwise typical lager flavor. About par for a brewpub light - brewed for the masses.
Earlier Rating: 10/7/2003 Total Score: 2.4 Combined on 1/16/07 Had on tap at the brewpub in Jacksonville. Had a very light golden, pale appearance with a light white head. Has that patented wet paper bag aroma. There is not a whole lot going on here - pretty waterery with a brief hint of hop bitterness in the aftertaste. Probably the least favorite of the sample.

Pale gold body. Straw aroma with a light, piney hint of hops. Lightly sweet flavor becomes a very-lightly bitter finish. Grainy finish. Lightly body, watery texture, fizzy carbonation. The bottom line is: at least I only had to drink 4 ounces of this stuff.

Not very impressed. Very light color same as vegetable oil. Aroma was weak. Taste was defintely light due to there really wasn't much taste at all.

Tap, EPCOT, 3/04. Why do brewpubs insist on making light beers? Unoffensive, very pale clear yellow. No aroma...well, maybe soggy white bread. Strong, raw barley flavor. Wet. Great lacing. I've certainly had worse, no flavor is better than bad flavor.
