Location: Draft at Little Rock Brewpub, 8/23/11, as Downtown Brown
Aroma: This one has a nose that is roasty, nutty and caramel malts
Appearance: It pours a clear copper-brown color with a small beige head and minimal lace
Flavor: The taste is medium sweet and light bitter, with mostly roast and toast malts
Palate: The body is light-medium with a somewhat smooth mouthfeel and a soft carbonation
Overall Impression: This one is on style fine enough, but that's about it. It's not a particularly exciting offering, but it isn't bad either.

Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 6.5
Location: Draft at Little Rock Brewpub, 8/23/11
Aroma: The nose has some citrus and pine hops plus some caramel malts
Appearance: The pour is caramel in color with a medium amount of lace
Flavor: The taste is what you would expect, light sweet with a bigger hop profile/bitterness
Palate: The body is light-medium with a slightly metalic mouthfee, fairly easy drinking stuff
Overall Impression: This one had a fairly standard (read: to be expected) hop profile. There was a nice bitterness there, but no complexity. Just call this one an alright IPA that is hardly memorable.

Location: Draft at the Brewpub, 8/23/11
Aroma: The aroma has roasted, chocolate, and caramel malts, plus earthy notes
Appearance: This one pours a dark brown-black color, with no head or lace
Flavor: The taste is light roast and matly, it is fairly sweet with minimal bitterness to it
Palate: This one has a medium body and a somewhat creamy mouthfeel
Overall Impression: Overall, I thought this was a pretty good sweet stout. It is fairly sweet, but not in such a way that it hurts the beer. It has a good sweetish finish to it. The flavor comes through on end palate. Up-front, it isn't quite as flavorful. Solid stuff though.

Aroma: It has a fairly subtle fruity nose with some floral and grass notes too
Appearance: This one pours a clear gold color with no head or lace
Flavor: The flavor is light sweet, similar to the nose, no funk present
Palate: The body is fairly light, with a clean and crisp mouthfeel
Overall Impression: This beer was alright, but I found it to be kind of lacking overall. It was kind of simple and light and just didn't really do that much for me.

Flavor: This one has a solid hop presence, its lightly sweet and medium bitter
Palate: The mouthfeel is fairly clean, with a fairly soft carbonation, and light-medium body

Aroma: It has a rather faint aroma of malt and corn and not too much else
Appearance: This one pours a clear gold color with no head and no lace
Flavor: The flavor is fairly dull like the nose, slightly sweet, with minimal bitterness
Palate: It has a light-medium body, with plus carbonation, and a somewhat watery mouthfeel
Overall Impression: The official beer of the Travs! Even if you are a HUGE minor league baseball fan, that's about as far as the excitement can go on this beer, becuase it just isn't good. This is basically just a light beer with a faint aroma, flavor, and body. Sadly, it isn't too much more then just a better Bud Light.

Aroma: The aroma is mostly caramel, with some citrus and spice, a solid nose overall
Appearance: The pour is a hazy gold color with a white head and moderate lace
Flavor: The taste is a combination of yeast and malt flavors that is mid sweet and lightly bitter
Palate: This one has and average amount of carbonation to it, with a decently crisp mouthfeel
Overall Impression: Since this one counts as Tennessee (even though I got it at the Arkansas version of the Brewpub), this will count as state #40. I sure do enjoy knocking off these random milestones. As for the beer, I found it to be a solid German style brew that exceeded my expectations (granted they weren't that high).
