Second trip here, but 1st real beer tasting and I am glad I went back. Last time it was lunch thing on the way back to Las Vegas. Located on inlet to lake Havasu and adjacent to THE London bridge, the views in & out are very appealing. Brewing system right behind bar for your viewing pleasure. Six standard beers on tap with all pretty good, but a specialty beer really stood out. Food and service were really good.

Blonde Ale - light almost clear, straw taste, crisp finish w/little hops

JennaGrace Hef - w/lemon wedge, very light, not as bad as I expect a hef to be & very drinkable, light yellow cloudy with very clean finish. Shocked, I like a wheat-based beer.

Freedom Bridge Amber Ale - light amber hue, nice toasted malt flavor with a clean finish, very drinkable.

Trippleberry Wheat - strong berry aroma with a yellow cloudy tint, big white head. Flavor is berry with banana note. Okay, but a wheat.

Kickstart Oatmeal Stout - dark brown w/nice tan head. Nice roasted aroma w/ strong roasted coffee notes, good balance of bitter & malt.

Bighorn IPA - bright deep yellow, slight hop aroma, sour note but a good hop punch. Clean finish with hop bitter linger.

Specialty beers: Framboise (but cabernet infused I was told), Santa Spiced Ale, & a Imperial Red, I went for the latter...

BIG RED - ~9%alc and beautiful, great read/amber hue, big khaki head, and nice balance of hops and warm malt flavor. Deceptively drinkable and served in 10oz glasses for a reason. This beer was worth the stop!!
