Brewed by River Horse Brewing Company
Style: Pale Lager
Lambertville, New Jersey USA

Serve in Dimpled mug, English pint, Lager glass, Shaker

Pours a transparent deep golden with a small froth of white head. Lightly sweet and pale malty nose has a touch of noble hops and some cashew nutty character. Body starts fully carbonated and foamy with a mild sweetness and earthy bittering noble hoppy character. Finishes mild and quite drinkable. A surprisingly good pale lager and the only thing I’d really change is the amount of carbonation.

12oz bottle from a River Horse Variety 12pk. Cellar Stored - Slow Fermentation. Deep Golden, light orange color. White foamy head. Light aromas of: Dough, pear, and slight coriander/herbs. Flavor is of medium cereal, and a light floral. Light-Medium bodied. Very refreshing + Super easy drinking. Overall: Brewed to perfection.

UPDATED: NOV 8, 2007 Explosive Bottles. Slightly hazy and very bubbly gold pour with a foamy/moussy white head. Peculiar aroma like carbonated apple cider or even cheap champagne above sweet light cereal malts. Tart flavors of green apple and lemon. Has some underlying wet grass notes. Too tart to pick up any subtler malts or hops. Fizzy body. Too fizzy. Is this beer?

Very clear looking, light, nice smell that doesn’t pay off. Seriously needs some hops, and otherwise too weak and if anything a bit winey.

Bottle. Lightly sweet aroma of pale malt. Clear golden pour (looks like apple juice) with no head. Taste a savory, slightly fruity malty with a bready finish. No hops noticed. Not particularly effervescent or crisp, but still a fun mf. Medium body. Simple, plain, and boring, but one of the best and most quaffable weeny lagers I’ve had. Very refreshing.

Slight chill haze in an apple juice pour with a thin, mostly diminishing off-white head. Faint aroma o toasted grains, lavender notes, sweet lemon peel, light hops, not much else. The flavor is mildly hoppy with light bitterness. Apple juice(odd coincidence) notes are introduced with the first sip. Acidity is high, lemony with lime twist notes and overruns the whole taste. Sweetness is medium to medium-high. the taste as a whole resembles a blend of apples, lemonade and floor cleaner. Finishes acidic, lemony, lightly hoppy and sweet. The mouthfeel is fizzy, light bodied with a touch of syrup, but at least it’s refreshing feeling and pretty easy to imbibe. Not offensive, not good.

#666!!! Pours a slightly yeasty pale gold color with a small white head. Smells of some grain, a little citrus fruit. Apple juice comes to mind. Very citrusy flavor. I get alot of crisp lemon flavor throughout. Pretty easy drinking and is sort of refreshing. The citrus flavor coats the palate and leaves a sharp little swetness on the tongue. kind of like you took a sip of some light lemon aid. Not bad for this style.

Bottle. Pours a cloudy pale golden body with thin head. Aroma is grainy, lemony. Flavor is bitter, grainy citrus. Light mouthfeel.
