I am a slight fan of the
Lager beer style but not all lagers are equal. Rivertowne Brewing Co. in export
Pennsylvania outside of Pittsburg, brews RT Lager, 5.5% ABV. This is more of an
Amber Lager brewed with seven different malt varieties with additions of
Cascade hops. RT Lager pours a copper orange color with a bright one finger
white head that is fizzy and fades into a terrible looking white ring. The
aroma is sweet with malt in a bad candy way. The taste of RT Lager is a bit
overwhelmingly sweet with malt flavor that overshadow the hops. There is a cloying
taste of something metallic and sweet that sticks to the tip of your tongue
after each sip. The mouth feel is high on the medium side with a manufactured finish
that is pretty much the same on RT Lagers finish. I found RT Lager to get worse
as you get to the bottom of the beer. I give Rivertowne Brewing Co. RT Lager an
F. It is a fake sweetness that is too thick and too much flavor that takes all goodness
out of this beer. It reminded me bit like medicine. I don’t think anyone should
try this beer, and I will be doing the same. Cheers! Please enjoy responsibly!
