Walking around the beer fridge you see all the normal beers, but they just will not do. You are in the mood to try something new, maybe get lucky and find the one great beer that has been going under the radar. There is a decent variety, but you want to stick to a style you know so you are looking at the lagers and you see an enticing label called R.J. King WingWalker. Let’s face it, advertising is everything and the label and name is different then what you might see on any other beer. You make up your mind and decide to try it. Hoping that the uniqueness of labeling would correspond with the taste of the beer, however, you discover that the beer is plain. Drinking this beer I was trying to figure out how to describe it and normal was the best I could do. In fact when normal came to mind I thought of Jon Lajoie and his song “Regular Everyday Normal Guy”. A funny and unique song describing the most basic and everyday average life, like the beer appearing different but the substance is not saying much. The beer is not great, but it is not bad either, nothing that you will go out of your way to get, but if put in front of you, you can drink it. Name: R.J. King WingWalker Lager
Brewery: R.J. King WingWalker, Rochester, NY
Style: American Pale Lager
ABV: 4.5%
Taste Like: A bitter and highly carbonated apple/wheat drink. The taste doesn’t last very long. It is just average, not really distinctive in flavor.
Goes Well With: It goes well with pretty much anything. It is very drinkable, and does not have an overpowering taste. The only problem is the amount of carbonation may affect your body, but that is depending on the individual.
Budget: $$- It, like many other unique brands, goes for a little more than your name brand beers but it will not put a whole in your wallet. It is worth giving a try, but not worth going back for more. I will say the other beer in the WingWalker line are better than this one and deserve a try as well. Grade: C (74)
Overall: Buzzin
