River Horse Tripel Horse

I picked up a six-pack of River Horse Tripel Horse the last time I was in New Jersey. I have enjoyed every River Horse beer I have had to date, and was really excited to try the tripel. The beer pours a golden color with a foamy cream colored head. The aroma is full of banana with hints of pepper and candisugar. The taste is full of banana and heavy on the alcohol flavor and has an undertone of candisugar and rock candy. The pepper does not hit until the finish, but is a very pleasant accent. The alcohol content is 10.0% ABV. This was a very rounded tripel. It may have a decent alcohol bite, but the banana and pepper flavors are very enticing in the mouth.

River Horse Summer Blonde Ale

Continuing the Fourth of July drinking, I tried a glass of River Horse Summer Blonde Ale. This summer seasonal is light and opaque in color, with a warm citrus aroma. I thought the taste was sweet with a decent hint of citrus. The after taste was very clean and fresh. The alcohol content is 4.0% ABV. This is a very nice summer beer, especially with burgers on the grill. I recommend trying this one this summer if you get the chance.

River Horse Double Wit

Another beer I tried during my holiday festivities was the River Horse Double Wit. The beer pours a white opaque color with a sweet citrus aroma. The taste had a significant amount of citrus flavor that was very sweet. I thought the beer had a nice hop bite in the after taste, complimenting the entire experience. The alcohol content is 7.0% ABV. I thoroughly enjoyed the Double Wit and plan on drinking more in the future.

River Horse Special Ale

At the holiday picnic, I opened a bottle of River Horse Special Ale. The special ale is an Extra Special Bitter, or ESB. I'm not always a fan of ESBs, but I thought I would give it a chance. The beer pours an opaque dark amber without much aroma. I thought it had a very clean taste but the only flavor I could come up with is the malt, and there wasn't any flavor accents. However, the beer was very smooth and refreshing. The alcohol content is 4.5% ABV.
