River Horse Lager: 9

Taste: 3 Finish: 2 Visual: 1 Aroma: 3
Total: 9

The color is a very pale straw and it's cloudy. Not what I was expecting from a lager. The aroma is mild and sweet.

The brew starts mildly sweet from the malt. It is slightly soapy in the middle. And there is a very mild bitterness at the end. There is certainly no complexity to the flavor. What would be a very average beer turns poor with the finish. This beer coats the tongue and wears you down over time. I could barely stand to open a 3rd. It's just very blunting.

I was unimpressed with River Horse's last beer, and I certainly don't want any more of the lager. This may be a local brew for me, but I'll pass quickly and move to something more satisfying.
