Country Ride
RAR Brewing (Real Ale Revival)

 

 

Having this one on draft.
Not as much farmhouse, grassy flavors as I recall having it at the brewery. The aroma light and citrusy.
The palate is dominated by resin and citrus, with a citrusy aftertaste. A good pale ale.

Pale gold body under a large off white head that left good lacing. Aroma gives up a hefty dose of citrus. Might be able to argue there is a bit of tropical fruit lurking in the background, although it is more pronounced in the flavor. Taste stays focused on the hop bill with modest support from biscuity malts. Rounded, medium bodied mouthfeel. Country Ride is widely distributed in this area; just can't figure out why it took me so long to rate it,

 

 

This is another selection from BeerNV from last year. Was going to so many Tahoe concerts and hitting this place up to pregame, can't remember the specific show this was before.

Pours a mixture of a light golden color with a hint of amber to it. 1/3" white head. The aroma was an improvement over the appearance, had a mix of both older school pine and rind with a light dallop of tropical sweetness.

The taste continued in the same vein, giving a varied hop input of both classical C and proprietary. The body is uneventful, which isn't to say there is something wrong, its just seemingly a classic 2 row pale malt combo that is a baseline essentially. This doesn't do anything unique, but it doesn't do anything wrong. Its reliable. Relatively balanced mouth feel. Appropriately carbonated.

Kane deserved a longer title reign. Avoid females working in mancamps whose history you don't know. Spitroast city. Online degree. Both father and motherless behavior.

Since Monument Brewery has unfortunately retired the wonderful Pagoda Ale, I have once again started searching for a really good straight-up pale ale. This one definitely flunks! Very fizzy, the head disappears quickly, and it has a peculiar aftertaste. Not what I'm looking for! Gosh I can't imagine why people like this.

L: opaque copper with thin surface head. Nice carbonation release
S: balanced sweet malt with floral notes
T: bready maltiness with light pine resin.
F: enjoyable carbonation with smooth aftertaste
O: very good pale ale. Nice balance and finish. Drinks like an ale version of a maibock.

Pours a hazy golden color with a nice head and lacing
Aroma has lemon, tropical and citrus hints
Taste has lemon, tropical and citrus flavors
A medium bodied well carbonated beer
A decent Pale Ale (tastes more like a NEIPA…)

 

 

 

Semi-hazy gold appearance with a tight white head, good retention, and lacing. Fruity, malty, pine notes. Medium body, moderate carbonation, creamy mouthfeel.

Poured from a can into a can pint glass. Pours yellow orange with a fully white head. Smells of cereal grain and slight citrus hops. Tastes of sweet grain with citrus hop notes. Beer is light bodied and easy drinking, good carbonation. Overall, a very good beer.

Pours hazy brass with a decent white head out da can.
Tastes like lemon grapefruit and spruce.
Taste is ok, a bit thin but not bad. It is an average ok beer but nothing I'd try to impress anyone with.
I'd rather drink others.
To me it tastes like an AAL attempt at a pale ale.

 

12 oz can poured into a tumbler. Pours a cloudy burnt orange color with a fluffy white head. Nose is citrus rind with a floral, piney hop presence. Taste begins with a very mild toasted malt presence, then the hop flavors take over. Citrus and pine notes are prominent. Moderate carbonation helps it stay somewhat clean on the palate and easy to drink. It toes the line of IPA, just enough malt to keep it reigned in. Nice beer, looking forward to trying more from them.

 

Pours a nice cloudy gold with lots of foam. Smell is malts with some pine and citrus. Taste follows with some Light bitterness and a hint is sweetness. Goes down easy with light fizz. Well done.
