12 oz bottle. Pours slightly hazy dark yellow body. Aroma is strange. Taste is light, smooth palate - maybe some cream in the finish.

Nothing much to speak of. A little below average for the season. Reminds me of an old style Piels or Ballantine.

This is basically a michelob lager. Not bad, but not worth it. Better off buying a cheap pale lager.

Pretty weak offering actually. Pours yellow, thin head, not much of an aroma to speak of. Unimaginative flavoring. Goes down easy though. Lots of carbonation.

I will make this rating short and sweet. This beer taste like Coors with a yellow Label on the bottle. I was not Impressed at all.

12 oz bottle from msiano. Pours a clear golden orange with a small fizzy white head. Aroma of grain, lemon grass, and a slight touch of soap. Crisp palate with a light to medium body and very noticable carbonation. Flavor of grain, and only a slight hint of fruit. If you need to bring something to a BBQ to drink out of the bottle this isn’t bad. If you ant something complex with lots of aromas and flavors to really sip then move along.

Appearance: Pours a hazy, golden body with an explosive, huge head. River Horse certainly doesn’t cheat in the carbonation department. Smell: Sugary-smelling aroma of crackers, a hint of pepper, and a slight pear-like fruitiness. Taste: Wheaty, crackery flavor with a medium level of sweetness. Citrusy. Light pear esters. Pinch of spice. Not much in the way of bitterness. Dry, zesty finish. Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Well carbonated. Drinkability: Y’know, it’s not so terrible once all of that damnable carbonation settles down.
