Hello beer lovers and welcome to another edition of the
NorCal Beer Blog's brew review.
In keeping with the “beer I drank while in San Antonio, TX”
theme here’s the final review from the Lonestar State.
Tonight’s featured beer is Real Ale Brewing Company Rio
Blanco Pale Ale.
From the Real Ale Brewing Company
website:” Deep golden and
malty, with a spicy hop flavor and well balanced hop bitterness, Rio Blanco is
a uniquely Texan interpretation of an English-style pale ale. Czech Saaz hops
provide a crisp finish and delicate aroma.”
Appearance: Pours a dark golden color with a large fluffy
white head and some lacing left behind.
Aroma: Sweet malts dominate with citrus and pine scents in
the back.
Taste: Nice upfront malt flavors similar to an English Pale
with pine, floral and citrus hops to balance this beer out nicely.
Overall: So good! Real Ale Brewing Company’s Rio Blanco Pale Ale is an easy to drink and
very well made beer and at 5.3% ABV I could drink this one all evening
long. After having three of their offerings I would give them a HUGE thumbs up. I hope their beers make their way over to California. I'm a fan.
Cheers!
Mark Harvey
