pours a hazy honey with a big fluffy off-white head, with a bunch of little floaters hanging out. big floral and citrus hops in the smell, with bubblegum turning to grapefruit turning into a big milkshakey malt smell. taste is big grapefruit and a lot of that same tasty malt from the nose. finishes with big but not harsh bitterness. fairly full bodied for an almost chewy mouthfeel. with a bit more alcohol and maybe a bit more hoppy bitterness, this would be a double ipa. very big beer and great for a regular american ipa. reminds me a lot of the summer yulesmith.

Aug 29, 2008 On tap at the brewery for RBSG 08. Pours a clear gold with a nice, white head. Big aroma of citrus and pine hops. Crisp, clear taste with a lot of hops. Lingering hoppy bitterness. Really great IPA.

Aug 25, 2008 22 oz bottle. Bright quarter inch head reduces to dense impenetrable blanket. Smells hoppy/piney.Any movement stains the side of the glass with gooey foam. Sharp and bitter, then fruity and sweet, then bitter again. Way bitter afterburn. Stronger than some doubles. Nice.

Aug 22, 2008 Updated: Aug 29, 2008Thanks to Kegbear for this brew. Pour is a very clean and clear medium golden with a fluffy off white head. Aroma is amazing with tons of fresh hops, light fruit, malt, pine, and much more. Flavors are all well blended together perfectly balanced. Flavors include mellow but dominant biterness, peach, light pine, and sweet delicious malt. Damn good brew, damn good.
