Formerly Snake River Lager

Snake River Lager is our most popular beer. This is an amber colored Vienna style lager. The rich, caramel flavor is balanced with the use of several hop varieties for a subtle hop note. An authentic German lager yeast strain adds to the true flavor of this beer. The malt forward profile of Snake River Lager makes it a fine complement to pizzas and red meat.

This beer pours a murky amber-orange color. The head is a firm inch of white foam that recedes slowly into sticky lacing. The aroma is of sweet malt with a strong floral hop presence. It isn't the most complex aroma I've experienced in a Vienna Lager, but it is nice nonetheless. The taste is a lot like the aroma. All the residual sugars make it almost hide all the the usual lager cleanness, and make it almost seem like and amber ale. What is there is nice, and quite interesting. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with a gritty texture, and moderate carbonation. Overall, this is a nice beer that I would surely drink again.

Pours amber translucent with a two inch head that dissipates quickly tastes grainy and warm with an alcohol finish honestly similar to natural ice in taste which is disappointing due to the hype of this beer but I'm not above a natty

Pours amber with a clear transparency. Head is two fingers of khaki foam. Aroma is crackers, wafers, and bread, with mild caramel behind. Malt centric on the nose. Flavor profile is also malt centric, driving notes of crackers, wafers, and bread. It's very dry. Minor caramel and toffee add some sweetness. Mouth feel is medium in thickness. It's crispy with a soft edge. Overall, very mild & dry, typical lager.

Draft in WY. Reviewed from notes.

Drinking this at home.
Poured from a twelve ounce can into a pint glass.
Looks amber, with a nice foamy white head that dropped quickly to a thin cap.
Smells lightly bready, spicy, floral.
Taste follows the nose nicely with plenty of floral hoppiness.
Mouth feel is medium plus for the style.
Overall a very nice Vienna style Lager that I would definitely order again.
Love to try this on tap.
Cheers!

My go to beer in Wyoming along with Melvin killer beers. Goes down smooth, great flavor and decent can design. I can drink a whole 6 pack in an hour no problem.
