Since 1987, Lakefront Brewery, Inc., has been creating palatable ales. But, unlike Cabbage Patch Kids, the Rubik's Cube and my youthful dreams of being a Carebear, Lakefront has endured the test of time.
Surprisingly hoppy for a lager, Riverwest tastes immediately sweet to the tongue. A light consistency, only slightly thicker than water, becomes increasingly pleasant as the beer warms to room temperature. The sweetness becomes bitter, verging on sour, for a split second, leaving a sugary, dry aftertaste that never becomes excessive. Fortified with caramel malt and a dash of roasted barley, Riverfont urges ""just one more sip"" until you can see through the bottom of the bottle.
This lager is the entire beer package. Given this beer's all-around wonderful flavor, texture and price, if I could drown in a Riverwest, I'd die a happy man.
