R.J. King Wingwalker Lager is a light gold, lightly carbonated American lager whose frail white head quickly collapses to become a sparse film on the surface of the beer. The bouquet displays some malty sweetness and hops…not really. There is a hint of alcohol, but perhaps that is the hop resin making its presence known in a disguise, as Wingwalker Lager is only 4.5% ABV. This medium-bodied lager is sweetish with some minor hop notes in the form of a mild and pleasant bitterness. It’s a thirst-quencher, and better than your Buds and Millers by a bit. Interestingly, the Wingwalker Lager that I review now is contract brewed by Genesee. A few years ago I tried it and it was made by City Brewery in LaCrosse, WI and it was not so good.
