River Horse Summer Blonde

Brewed by River Horse Brewing Company
Style: Golden Ale/Blond Ale
Lambertville, New Jersey USA

This was pretty refreshing served very cold. As it warms it deteriates a bit as the light malt character turns a bit sweet. Just swig this one from the bottle.

Bottle: If only there were no word limits, because one word sums this beer up: boring. The appearence is standard and boring. Golden in color wome laces of carbonation. The aroma wasn’t really boring, more nonexistant. The flavor was also boring, good, but boring.

Clear yellow, white head, sweet aroma, lightly sweet flavor, hint of hops, mellow. Nice as a thirst quencher.

Bottle sampled with Stegosaurus. Pours golden with no head. Aroma is sweet and grainy. Flavor is sweet, grainy, and cornlike. Yet i found it to be drinkable.

Bottle at the Hagerstown Suns Beer Tasting... Mostly clear yellow ale with a small, fizzy white head. Both the aroma and flavor are sweet and grainy with specks of hay, orange blossom honey and herbal hops. Light-bodied with a creamy mouthfeel and less-than-medium carbonation. Sweet finish.

Bottle sampled with Beerded_one. Pours pale golden with head that resembled spit. Aroma of sweet malts, grain, and slight hops. Flavor is sweet, weak, no presence of hops, tastes like corn flavored sugar water. Thin body, horrible brew.

Pours a light golden yellow. Aromas of grains/corn?/some hops. Flavor is crisp and dry. Has some hop bitterness.

We found it odd that this seasonal summer ale showed up in our sampler 12-pack, but drank and reviewed it nevertheless. This ale pours a medium yellow color with a clear body. A small fizzy white head forms, but it doesn’t stick around for long. This beer has very little aroma, although we did detect a slight, light malt scent. Taste was at first acetic and finished both lightly sweet and moderately bitter. This offering finished light and watery, with lively carbonation.
