Rush River Scenic Pale Ale
Rush River Scenic Pale Ale. the first pale ale from these guys in, what, 11 years? Can it be true? Sure, they've had ambers, IPAs, double IPAs, etcetera, but not pale ale. Let' s drink one, now that they've corrected that.
Clouded, like all the unfiltered Rush River beers, bright golden colored, lush white head.
Bold, fruity aromatics. Brimming with tropical and citric notes, bursting with hoppiness. plenty of pine. Grapefruit meets pineapple, gloriously.
On the tongue and down the throat, it's fresh, zesty, and delicious. Clean, lean, and terrifically drinkable. One good swallow begs for another. It's a picnic beer, a boat beer, if only it came in cans. It's sitting by the pool beer, and passing time at the pub with pals beer. And if it's good beer and you can drink it, there ain't nothing wrong with that.
Drink this one. Don't expect to be blown away by strangeness and complexity, but drink it, and you'll be happy.
