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.

Bottle. Pours tan-orange and slightly hazy with thin white head and some lacing. Aroma of floral and citrus hops with buttery malt. Flavor of smooth hops that grow more bitter on the aftertaste, with biscuity malt also on the finish. Creamy medium body mouthfeel, characteristic of the Real Ale beers in my experience. Very nice and refreshing.

Pours a very light pale color with a light bubbly head that goes away fast. The hop character was way too subtle for me...(being and American pale ale) But it had a nice spicy lingering aftertaste.

12 oz. bottle courtesy of Bockyhorsey - Pours a hazy amber color with a 3/4 finger thick off white head. Nice lacing. Aroma is light floral and herbal hops. Flavor is light toasted malt and some lightly spiced hops. Medium body. No major flaws or unpleasant aftertastes. Worth a try. Thanks Bill.

Smells grassy, with a hint of hops. Pours a slight orange/copper color with a small white head, fades fast. Tastes of hops and slight alcohol bitterness that is not unpleasant. Crisp and refreshing.

Copper colored with an off white head. Taste is light, hops, malts, sort of watery. Smell is hops, malts. Ok balance. Not bad. Some bitterness. Need something more.
