Commercial Description:
Here's further proof that a drinkable beer can also be an interesting beer. Our Zig Zag River Lager is smooth, mellow and aromatic, with an inviting flavor that strikes a balance between maltiness and hop bitterness. Zig Zag gets its name from the picturesque river that gathers icy snow-melt from the slopes of Mount Hood and carries it westward to the Willamette Valley.

All i can say is that zig zag aint not supposed to mean beer if ya know what im sayin. Anyway this was a great and i mean great lager. No exceptional flavors, but thats what a lager should taste like, solid, not overstated and not understated. Good ol beer. the name though, please, zig zag should be used on a hemp beer.

Like a bad romance novel, too much sweetness, coupled with a bitter end, ruins what could have been a great thing.

Delicious lager. I usually hate lagers. But I was quite taken by this beer. Fruity aroma. Lacey, frothy head. Very refreshing beer!

Smooth lager, subtle sweetness, but not quite enough hop. Will do the job on a hot day.

Not a bad lager. Rather hoppy; sort of a lager-meets-pale-ale beer. Refreshing on hotter days.
