Banded Peak Brewery Ride On – American Pale Lager at 5.2% ABV | 30 IBU (C$4.24 at Liquorville Legacy, 473 ml, packaged on 25-May-2021, acquired 30-Jun-2021, reviewed 2-Jul-2021)
Appearance: slightly hazy straw with two fingers of fluffy white head, good retention and moderate soapy lacing. (4/5) Aroma: grass, cereal grains, herbal, light citrus. (7/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate-low bitter. (7/10) Medium-light body, moderate carbonation, crisp short finish. (4/5)
I’m probably being a bit generous in the rating here, but it’s just such a clean interpretation of a classic. This very much is your father’s lager, but done right. Definitely very reminiscent of the beer garden at the Stampede. (15/20)
