Brew Review: River Horse 河马啤酒

The liquor stores near my home have a great selection of beer from breweries around the US. Sometimes it’s difficult to choose which one to try–there are the ones I’ve had before and enjoyed, but there are always new ones that intrigue me.

我家附近的一家酒行,他们有很多很好的美国酿造啤酒。有时候很难决定选哪一种尝试一下,虽然有很多啤酒是我曾经喝过,而且也很喜欢,但是总有一些新的啤酒种类,让我跃跃欲试的想要尝试一番。

I found this beer interesting for a number of reasons. The River Horse brewery is in my home state of New Jersey, and there aren’t a lot of beers made here. I laughed a little when I saw the name River Horse and thought of the Chinese translation being hippopotamus, which leads me to believe that the owners of the brewery know Chinese. And this particular beer from the brewery is something that they don’t usually sell–it’s a special beer for the winter.

我要介绍以下这个啤酒,有几个比较有趣的原因。首先,河马啤酒厂就在我家所在的新泽西州,而新泽西出产的啤酒是很少的。当我刚看到河马这个牌子的时候,我还觉得很搞笑,因为我以为是中式英文对河马的翻译,凭这一点让我认为这个啤酒厂的老板一定懂中文。除此之外,这种特别的啤酒他们平时很少卖,尤其是在冬天的时候。

This variety of beer is an oatmeal milk stout. Unlike beers like Tsingtao and Budweiser, this is a dark and smooth beer with a slightly bitter flavor. It’s a great beer to drink in winter because it’s more filling than light beers and the higher alcohol content makes you feel warmer. It’s a great beer to sip and enjoy while watching TV on a cold night.

这种啤酒是一种燕麦牛奶制作的烈性啤黑酒。这种啤酒和青岛还有百威啤酒完全不同,它是黑色的,口感很醇厚的啤酒,而且略带一些苦味。这种啤酒在冬天喝是一种享受,因为它比淡啤酒要口感更厚实一些,而且它的酒精含量也比较高,这会让你在寒冷的冬日觉得非常的暖和。这种啤酒很适合在寒冷的冬夜,一边看电视一边慢酌。
