Rio Grande Desert Pils

Formerly brewed at Rio Grande Brewing Co.
Style: Classic German Pilsener
Alburquerque, New Mexico USA

This beer would be great and easy to drink, but instead it has this awful vegetal herbal aroma and taste that just makes it undrinkable. Could be a bad bottle, regardless....just bad

Clear golden with little carbonation or head, yet some air adhered to the glass. It has the aroma of a vegetable basket, very earthy. This is a smooth drinker, but flat. It’s pungent without any bitterness. An odd malt-sweet blend. My old experiences with Rio Grande was inconsistency.

I don’t know what beer Hoss and Shag were drinking but I thought this was decent. Pours a very thin yellow with a wisp of head. Fragrant aroma- lightly fruity and flowery. Body is thin but crisp and refreshing with hints of honey and apples. Decent

A BMC want to be. I got through half the bottle and thought what a waste. Simply NO flavor, not crisp, NOT hoppy

Aroma is of......nothing! Appearance is a cloudy yellow with a small head. Flavor is crisp with little else going on. A slightly creamy aftertaste. Very much a lawnmower beer bringing very little to the table. Standard lager.

Draught. Soapy head and straw colored body. Fragrance of floral hops and hints of melon, citrus, and honey. Grassy hop flavor plus a non-hop bitterness oddly suggestive of citrus peels. The palate is crisp and bitter. Decent beer.

A nice refreshing German style pilsner. Crisp and clean with a mild hop bite. Flavor was quite complex with some maltiness coming through. Quite refreshing.
