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.

Review for this cloudy beer are pretty solid for a lager, and I simply loved it! It's flat out sweet and very malty. It gets even more flavorful as it warms. Oddly, it has hints of oranges (I swear!). It's Achilles heel is that it's a tad overcarbonated.

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

Probably the best I have had from this brewery. Nice frothy head. Medium bodied with a pleasant hop finish. Very good lager.

Typical fairly clear amber, uneven foamy head. Cool colors on the label. Interesting hoppiness in the smell. One of the better lagers I’ve had, interesting complexity. Hints of chocolate, decent aftertaste. Drinkable and good.

Medium gold color, medium head. A medium malted lager, medium hopped. Full flavor, medium bodied. Nice smooth taste. Mouthfeel is full and smooth. Finish is clean. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.

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