Another (maybe) trivial hand. I've just moved up to these stakes, and trying to start out tight to get used to more dough involved.
At .1/.25 I probably would have fired again on the turn (but not positive on this). On the river it looks a lot like a value bet and I don't beat anything else than a bluff there imo. Comments on all streets welcome

I would call the river. It may be a value bet, but he doesn't know you have an ace, and lots of players seem to expect to get called lighter on the river than they really do. (Or they just don't think about what worse hands might actually call and instead think something more like, "I have aces up. Bet!"). Plus, people love to bet when the board pairs, although this does seem to be more of a turn phenomenon than a river phenomenon.

The rest looks fine to me.

U think he'll bet worse aces on this board?

I think it's possible. He's in a territory where it's not really a value bet and is more of a bluff, but it's hard to know how our unknown Villain looks at it.

Some stats or reads would be pretty helpful but if you check behind the turn I think you're committing to calling a reasonable bet on the river unless you know he's a nit.
