Clear auburn. Fizzy head reduces to nothing. Miniscule carbonation. Aroma of hay, grass and light caramel. Fizzy, grassy and dry with hints of toffee. Bitter but not much hop flavor. Even at room temperature it’s kind of bland and lifeless. Filling and gaseous. Finishes with a mown hay wrapped in sugarless toffee flavor and a redeeming hint of chocolate. Redeeming for the sake of saving this from macro swill status.

Probably the best Riverhorse brew that I have sampled. Very clean and refreshinging, not to heavy.

Yuck! I had this on tap in a small Baltimore bar and they may have dirty hoses or something, but this beer really was a travesty. Brown, murky, disgusting with notes of rotten fish.

Dominant coffee flavor in aroma and first sip. High carbonation at first - I felt the bubbles dancing on my tongue , but it settled down after a while. A very nice brew.

Average brown ale, deep red color, thin bubbly head, nothing too special in the flavors or aftertaste to mention

Not bad, good malt front, and nice slightly bitter hop finish. Drinkable.
