A companion to backyards, backwoods, and balconies alike. River Trip is a low-ABV, Belgian-style table beer with hop-forward grapefruit and stone fruit notes. It’s brewed with local grains and spiced with coriander for an extra hint of citrus. Dry hopping with Comet and Azacca contributes to the mix of melon and grapefruit notes in the beer’s aroma.

Hay and some earthy notes. Great balance, and easy drinking. Pours golden with good head and lacing. Light crisp finish. Tap at Churchkey.

Can at home in Hackney - thanks to Abby! Pours totally clear gold with a frothy, pure white head. Maybe I'm just really in the mood for something clean, dry and drinkable, but I think this beer is fantastic. Has some light dry wheat flakes, mellow Belgian yeast notes, lemon peel, nips of straw and grass. Light bodied with active, massaging carbonation. Balanced finish, super clean, refreshing. Awesome.

Draught @ Malt & Mold. Clear pale golden with foamy white head, malt aroma, low carbonation, lightly sweet malt taste with little grassy hops, thin watery body, medium finish. Not very exciting.

Can: pours golden with a white head. Aroma is yeasty, flowers, some fruitiness. Taste is lightly fruity, super yeasty, a tad spicy. Solid.

16 ounce can. Hazy pale gold pour. Thick, dense creamy white head. Yeasty malt nose has sulphury notes. Crisp biscuit malt flavor upfront. Spicy notes of coriander and fresh lemon. Easy drinking and refreshing with a modicum of complexity. Well done.

Grapefruit pith, mild herb, subtle juice character. Lower bitterness in a lighter body. I get a huge grapefruit character over anything else. Good.

Draft pour at The Salt Line, in DC. Poured a kind of golden color, perhaps with a little bit of an orange hue? Aroma was crisp, light grapefruit. Some bitterness, kind of a light floral character here too. Flavor was similar, with some bitter grapefruit peel and unsweetened grapefruit juice. Pretty nice, light and crisp finish.

500 ml can from Wegmans. Nose is hoppy, melon and citrus, plus some coriander. Hazy pale gold with a high head. Flavor is hoppy, bitter, fruity, crisp, some Belgian yeast notes and coriander. A bit too thin, but good for a low alcohol table beer.
