Rerate: OOps! Rated the wrong beer the 1st time. This one was good too, though. Nice golden color, interesting aroma and slightly sweet flavor. Very good stuff. Orig. rating (wrong beer): Pretty good. Reminds me of Red Hook Blonde Ale. Has a sweet aroma and flavor, but not too sweet. I also like the color, it's a bit darker than I expected.

River Horse Lager ABV: 5.5% Calories: estimated at 150C Volume: 12 oz Glass: tulip Purchased at: Sampler at Glendale Liquors Price per fl oz: $14.99 / 144 fl oz = $0.10 per fl oz Consumed at: Home sensory first impression: Nice head, nice aroma, simple, but beautiful color. Taste is simple, but deep. Warm, enjoyable, rich. Color is bright and fiery. A very nice example of a lager, and not typical. Aroma/Olfactory: Malt flavor is: caramel, sweet, almondine, toasted, and a bit peppery. Hop flavor is: floral, airy, and herbaceous. Leafy greens come to mind. Yeast flavor is: dust, moldy, dirty, dry Other flavors include: ginger, maltiness and sugar, grapes, pine. Visuals/Appearance: Color is: bright, golden, yellow, fiery. Sunlight. Liquid is: clear, sparkling, pretty. Head and lace are: minimal head with no lace. White to off white. Taste/Flavor: Maltiness or Sweetness level is: medium Hoppiness or Bitterness level is: medium Sour level is: light Palate/Tactile: Body or Mouthfeel is: medium Texture is: gritty, sandpapery. Something to hold on to, definitely. Carbonation is: lively, active. Finish is: middle to long, and darkly sweet. Overall experience: I really enjoyed this beer, and I’m not usually a fan of lagers, but this one has some depth. I liked the sweetness, the hoppy balance, the malt depth, and the color. I did not like the lack of head and lacing, but a small price to pay.

Super snappy in so many ways. The malting is very nice (aroma is so strong of Munich pale), the hops are certainly strong enough to make this a very crisp beer. Had it with luch and it went down soooooo easy! Delicious. Dank U, u.

Very clear and light with little aroma. Clean and light with just a hint of hearty character. Not much to this beer, I suppose, but it's well brewed to appeal to the common man.

Bottle. Pours a semi-cloudy orange with a small white head. Aroma of sweet floral hops, lagery carboardy malt. Flavor is sweet initially with citrus and light fruits and a malty finish. Pretty decent beer and great for a pale lager. Very refreshing. 7/4/7/4/14 Ɠ.6/5)

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.
