Pours like a pilsner from the tap at the brewery. Mildly skunky in aroma with notes of carb apple and possibly pineapple in the flavor. Not bad.

Draft at the brewery. Pours a clear gold color, with a small light white head. Smells of some wet grains, light subtle hops, and a bit of malt. Smells like a lager. The flavor was crisp and simple. Had a small citrus and hop presence mixed, with a grainy undertone. Crisp, clean and easy to drink is really all I can say about it. Boring beer, for a boring style, but it drank ok.

On tap @ brewery, RBSG. Clear straw color, thin broken white head. Slight wet grain cast to the aroma, otherwise clean. Pretty straightforward malt character with a mildly bitter finish.

On tap @ Ballast Point brewing/brew mart. Poured as a light straw golden color with a minor sized head. The nose was mild and weak with small hints of grass or grain. Flavor was plain and bland with no real strong points besides it was a crisp lager with puny grained malt.

On tap at the brewery for RBSG 08. Pours gold. Very malty aroma. Taste is quite sharp, with a lot of malt. Lingering bitter malt flavors. Nice carbonation. Decent beer.
