A vienna style lager, with a fresh, flowery nose and a malty palate. Produced with AC/DC in the speakers at the brewery to ensure the perfect quality.

Changed from 5.2 to 5.5% spring 2012.

New York goes Stockholm i denna india pale lager. Premium pilsner och IPA i kombination – en populär trend där vi har banat väg. East River Lager är en av Sigtuna Brygghus största framgångar. Inspirationen till både recept och förpackning är hämtad från US craft beer, där trenden för kvalitetsöl på burk är starkt uppåtgående.Lager bryggs med pilsnermalt och ljus karamellmalt tillsam­mans med amerikansk och tysk humle – en blandning av modern och traditionell lagerstil som är vanlig bland annat i New York och Boston.

33cl bottle from trade with SaintMatty, tried @ hotelroom. Clear golden color, full sized rough white head that lasts for quite awhile and leaves fair lacing in the glass. Smell malts, grains and hay. Taste malts, grains, cardboard and lightly bitter hints. Low body, low to medium carbo.

0.5l bottle shared with The Tasting Crew. This is a light blurry peach-orange beer, some unfiltered particles and a small sidesticking off-white head. Light zest-yeasty on the head with a good sweetness, some melon and hay. Not extreme. It's average carbonated and it has a soft oily texture. Flavors are dry, bitter. Light soapy with some clear fruits, and it ends really mouthdrying. A bit to mouthdrying, somewhat disturbing. 16.06.2012

Bottle at home in London. I sourced this fella from some Systembolaget in Stockholm. The beer pours clear gold with a medium, bubbly-foamy white head. Nose is lots of biscuity, doughy malts with nips of toast and light hay. Flavor is light to medium sweet, with some melon fruit tones, mild tangy lemon and orange, lightly toasted pale malts, faint pine needles. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Fairly sweet to finish with restrained bitterness, some faintly toasted pale malts, light citrusy hops, light citrus rind, mild grass linger. A very nice lager. Definitely not a vienna in my book. Decently balanced overall. Not overly sweet, with some nice, lasting hop character. Solid beer.

500ml bottle carried home from Vikapolet in Oslo. A slight haze to an amber-gold body. Caramel malts to the nose. Ditto taste profile accomplished by dusty hops. Distant fruit bitterness to the ending. Food friendly (Tromsø, 08.04.2012).

En god lager då den har en betydande beska. Bärstensfärgad med en blommig doft. Maltig och lite knäckig smak.

En bra lager med välavvägd balans mellan en brödig kropp med en liten sötma som växer när ölet blir varmare, en rejäl beska som stramar upp och gör ölet relativt torrt och fruktiga och kådiga humlearomer som lyfter smaken. Bra gjort Sigtuna.

330 ml bottle bought @ Systembolaget. Pours clear golden with a very small white head that dissipates almost immediately without leaving much trace on the glass. Smell is sweet, floral and slightly hoppy with bread, butterscotch, lemon peal and pineapple. Taste is malty sweet and slightly bitter with caramel, bread, orange zest and hints of tropical fruits and butterscotch. Mouthfeel is thin to medium bodied with high carbonation. Finish is bitter with grass and orange zest. --- Beer merged from original tick of East River Lager on 29 Apr 2015 at 16:23 - Score: 7. Original review text: And so it begins! #cbc-cation
