Pair of Aces, good kicker check-raise "situation".... river???

bet the flop

So you're never check-raising here?

Let's say same scenario, instead I bet the flop, get called. Bet bigger on the turn and get called. You are still coming out and betting the river 1/2 pot?

Yep. No reason to think you are beat. Depends on player type -- if he's passive, bet the river, if he's aggressive, check to him on the river and let him bet.

That min check/raise on the flop is awful, it builds the pot with a well-defined medium strength hand out of position and gives him odds to call with just about anything.
