Commercial Description:
Deep golden and malty, with a spicy hop flavor and a subtle, well-balanced hop bitterness, Rio Blanco is a uniquely Texan interpretation of an English-style pale ale. The addition of Czech hops gives the ale a refreshing crispness and flavor that will satisfy you under the hottest Texas sun.

Thanks lb4lb. Hazy dark copper medium white head. Aroma is bready and muted. Flavor is pale malt, a subtle touch of caramel and grapefruit hops. Hop bitterness is there but is lacking in flavor and aroma. Medium bodied and lots of carbonation and not a bad tasting beer just nothing really going on.

Slight grassy hop aroma. Pours amber with just a dusting of white head. Nice crisp hoppy bite, almost a touch of coriander noticeable. Moderate mouthfeel. Decent session beer.

12 oz bottle courtesy of zinister. pours a copper color with a white head that dissipates fast. The aroma is light with peppery spice and some mild malts. The flavor was washed-out malts with a touch of spice. The mouthfeel was medium-light with good carbonation. The finish was short with a bit of lingering pepper. Overall: An average sessionable pale ale. Might be very good on a hot summer day.

The pour was a slightly turbid swirl of copper and brown. A fizzy, compact white head emerged quickly and then vanished again in a flash. No lacing. The aroma was malt, light spice and thin citrus. The flavor was light malt, some iced tea and even a bit of citrus. Overall it was kind of bland. Average mouthfeel.
