12oz bottle. Pale golden color with a very large rocky white head. Heavy spicy aromatics; coriander, citrus zest, bubblegum, and clove. Sharp spiciness upfront, melange of aroma characters. Grainy, wheaten flavor then asserts itself. Fruity esters and floral perfumey spice linger in the finish, with heavy residual wheat. Mouthfeel is a light medium, somewhat dry.

Bottle from hopdog. Thanks dude! Golden orange, nice fluffy head, some floaties. Spice, coriander, orange peel, wheat aromas. Acidic flavors of orange rinds, wheat, and spice. This might actually be kind of hoppy too. Lots of carbonation tickles the tongue. Tangy finish with a soft underlying wheat that softens it out a little.

Cloudy yellow like grapefruit with white bubbly head and a bit of lace. A bit astringent. OK beer. Spiciness, cloves and cardoman beneath the surface. Understated carbonation.

Bottle... Hazy straw-colored ale with a large, frothy, white head. Breadsy and spicy aroma with fruity esters (or actual fruit peels, I dunno). Medium-bodied and creamy with laid back carbonation. Spicy and sweet. Light acidity. Tangy, spicy finish.

The sentiments of RsteBeer’s member Heathen is right on the mark - finally a River horse that I liked. Pours a typical murky gold, lots of citrus and hop flavor yes some Belgian style banana in there as well. Not bad, not bad at all.

THOUGHTS: Nice. Finally something from River Horse that I liked. But not as much as I like Southampton’s Double White. TECHNICAL: On tap at Grey Lodge. Poured a cloudy golden with and average-sized white head that left nice lacing. The aroma was bubble gum, wheat and spice. The flavor was wheat, yeast and some banana. The light to medium body had a moderately astringent finish.

12 oz bottle-pours a big frothy off white head and cloudy yellow/gold color. Aroma is spice-coriander/clove, faint orange zest, grain. Taste is mostly dry spice-coriander/clove. Then banana/faint orange zest/pumpkin, grain/wheat with some sweetness. Pepper comes through at mid and after taste. OK carbonation. Thanks to Joe-jwc215 for picking this out.

One of the nicer RH’s i’ve sampled. Bottle poured out some small sediment. Aroma housed light spice, yeast, and citrus. Flavors were banana, orange, under a wheat backing.
