MacTarnahans Zig Zag River Lager

Had this beer on 6/11/1999. Color is a deep bright gold with very good carbonation and a light head. Aroma is a light malt scent. Taste is light with a faint hop flavor on the end that reminds me of Coors Extra Gold. Starts with a medium light body and a bubbly feel. As it goes down a light malt flavor begins and grows as the finish comes on which is followed by a nice hop flavor and well balanced hop bitterness. Nice beer to drink.

Pours a clear golden yellow color. Aromas of grass, cheerios, and a touch of flowers. Flavor is kinda sweet to start, citrusy finish with some hop notes.

Sampled at the taproom. Light pale yellow in color, with a foamy white head. Faint flowery aroma that’s refreshingly clean smelling. Mild maltiness with a light hop flavor. Somewhat dry at the end. This was ok, just not a brew I would seek out.

At the Portland tap room. Dark golden with a thin head. Another very malty beer, sweet and grainy. Tart appley finish. Not bad.

Pours a dark yellow with good head, and left a nice lace. Light citrus aroma. Fairly small fruit flavor. Nice clean palate. Nice for a lager but nothing really shines.

Tastes like a lager, but not too bad. It's not very flavorsome but has some very nice subtleties in the flavor. A very floral hop presence is there but without the bitterness of the boiled hops. Very clean and crisp with an average body.

Very nice easy drinking lager with a good amount of malt and flavor. A very good product. Just when I thought I hated all Lagers. This beer blew me away.

nice fruity aroma, clear dark yellow color. very small carbonation bubbles with weak head and watery lace. the flavor is full and rich with a nice balanced hop finish. very drinkable.
