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 to KAggie97 for the trade. Almost clear, thin white head. Pretty much a typical Pale Ale - not that that is a bad thing. Some fruity, toasty notes, and a nice citrusy, hoppy flavor. A bit a toasty malt to balance things out. Tasty session ale.

12oz bottle best by December. Pours a golden color with a small white head. Aroma is beery, malty and grainy. Not entirely pleasant. Taste is slightly malty, balanced, inoffensive. This doesn’t smell too great and it certainly doesn’t taste great but it isn’t bad. My least favorite of the Real Ale beers I’ve tried. Not bad though just a little boring.

Thanks to mhewes for this one Bottle poured into a standard pint glass produced a thin white head that went to lace, on a slightly hazy light copper body. Aromas of bread and a light hoppiness as well filled my nose Flavors of the brew are nice mild malts and hops; mouthfeel is light and crisp as well Easy to drink it was a chore not to kick it back and guzzle. I had better pales even from Texas at that .Not to much of a pale ale in my mind a very average brew

2008. Bottle. A run-of-the-mill American Pale Ale. Smells of light hops and malt. Taste somewhat herbal due to a light spiciness to the hops. Aftertaste of malt and light alcohol. Not much to freak out about, generally good.

Thought the beer was stale at first, but bubbles appear as if by magic to form a small, white, head. There is a hint of carmel, perhaps from the Czech hops. It is bitter, but does not leave an aftertaste.
