Thanks to Tom for this one. Clear golden body, a light white head. Aroma is very sweet and buttery. Flavor is sweet, lots of fruit, mostly strawberry. Not enjoyable.

Bottle. Good sweet muscat grape nose. Golden amber color with a bit fizz. Very sweet entry with some dried fruit mids and a late dry finish. A bit watery but the flavor that does come through is very pleasant.

Tap at the brewery. Poured a orange/yellow color, with a nice white head. Not much of a smell to it, slight orange. Tasted really good, slight tang to it , very good.

Draft… RBSG’08… Clear golden ale with orange highlights and a small, creamy, white head. Decent retention. Restrained nose of perfumy orange blossoms and cereal grains. Medium-bodied with a skim-milk mouthfeel and bristly carbonation. The flavor is perfectly balanced, but bland and boring. Crisp, mostly clean finish.

Clear light amber with a tight head. Faint fruity aroma with tart wheat. Light/medium body. Flavor is lightly sweet tart wheat grain with a decent citrusy mandarin essence. Nice on a hot day.

Light copper color...small but persistent head with slight lace. Aroma of malt, straw, orange. Flavorful, significant mandarin orange, lemon, straw, grains, slight sweetness, some bitter notes, light overall but decent as a summer session beer or first brew of the evening.
