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 a nice warm honey color with an eggshell color head that disappears slowly leaving a nice blanket over the beer as you drink. Aroma was filled with hops, citrus, and pine. Taste was nice, light malty sweetness up front and clean hoppyness in the finish. Mouthfeel was good, medium body with a slight tang caused by the carbonation. A middle of the road pale ale, I could have a couple of more of these if I ever make if back down to Texas.

Pours a hazy amber with a light offwhite head. Smell is strong of hops as well as the taste. This beer is lacking something though. Have another? Eh.

Picked this up at Speck’s in Houston. Pretty smooth, fruity pale ale. Yeah, this is one of the best things in texas. In fact, after the scorching, 100 degree heat, it’s pretty refreshing to reach for one of these.

Bottle courtesy of mar. Pours hazy orange-amber with a very small white head. Aromas of citrus notes, hops and a little doughy. Flavors of toasty malts at the front and finishes with citrus/fruits and a bit of hops. This is a very easy drinking Pale ale. I enjoyed it very much.

Pours cloudy, orange-brown, with a fine, moderate, white head. Aroma is is grainy with a hoppy presence. Moderate mouth feel. Flavor is grainy with a fair balance of hop bitterness. Not bad.
