Slight chill haze in an apple juice pour with a thin, mostly diminishing off-white head. Faint aroma o toasted grains, lavender notes, sweet lemon peel, light hops, not much else. The flavor is mildly hoppy with light bitterness. Apple juice(odd coincidence) notes are introduced with the first sip. Acidity is high, lemony with lime twist notes and overruns the whole taste. Sweetness is medium to medium-high. the taste as a whole resembles a blend of apples, lemonade and floor cleaner. Finishes acidic, lemony, lightly hoppy and sweet. The mouthfeel is fizzy, light bodied with a touch of syrup, but at least it’s refreshing feeling and pretty easy to imbibe. Not offensive, not good.

#666!!! Pours a slightly yeasty pale gold color with a small white head. Smells of some grain, a little citrus fruit. Apple juice comes to mind. Very citrusy flavor. I get alot of crisp lemon flavor throughout. Pretty easy drinking and is sort of refreshing. The citrus flavor coats the palate and leaves a sharp little swetness on the tongue. kind of like you took a sip of some light lemon aid. Not bad for this style.

This is probably the best beer River Horse makes. That being said, there’s no head, no lacing, and not one bit of hop presence, although the malt flavor itself is quite sour. The latter seems to be a River Horse trademark. I guess it’s drinkable in a totally flat sort of way? Does anyone at River Horse know what the word carbonation means?

Eh, this isn’t a special lager, but its not a band one, not a big lager fan but I can appreciate a good one when I taste one. Try Paulaner Lager, that’s a good one.

Crapola. Pours a boring yellow with no head. Aroma is a bit sweet and tinny. Flavor is metallic and stale.

Light malt and some honey in the aroma. Clear golden color with a medium palate. Taste is the same as the aroma with a faint bitterness. Easy to drink.
