Rivertown Brewery & Barrel House

Had it at the brewery just now, not sure why it says retired. Very nice taste.

From the 12 oz can in a snifter. This mighty fine brew pours a
nice lightly murky amber tinged golden color with a head of
white quickly dissipating foam that subsides to a thin ring and
light clumping layer with subtle lacing. Nose of subtle salt and
lager funk with a touch of herbal and citrus notes. Flavors follow
but surpass by presentation with a soft grain and lager note
mingling with light honey malts and mild citrus elements
that marry quite well with floral hop notes. Nice mouth feel;
medium light body, medium high carbonation that is lively and
effervescent, and a lightly dry and subtly sweet and a touch
dry finish.

Overall a solid little brew from a brewery that has at times
been hit or miss, that said this would be a GREAT brew for
summer as well as one to session with while BBQ'ing!

Cheers

 

 

 

A hazy pilsner with taste. A hazy lemony-looking pilsner. The smell is of citrus and floral. The taste is tart, lemon-like to me, the citrus flavors coming through. It pours with a foamy head with those citrus-floral favors emanating. The feel is lasting, with the flavors lingering over the palate. The after-affect is a warm feeling but not overly warm. I found this brew to be tasty, flavorful and it goes well with chicken and/or fish.
