Draft @ Brewpub: Yellow hazy, light head and lacing. Nose of belgian yeast and spicy herbs, moderate hops and malt. Thin flavor though, not much in the yeast areas in the tail. Meh.

3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Draught glass at the brewpub, RBSG Minneapolis pub crawl, June 22 2007. Cloudy, bright gold-amber body with a small lasting white head, bit of lace....aroma of pears, lots of sweet and funky Belgian yeast, light earthy English hops; doesn’t meld perfectly but stays interesting....quite hoppy on the tongue, full-bodied, fairly juicy and fruity, lightly tart and a bit dry to finish.... to me it seemed more Belgian than English, but just barely so....a fascinating, reasonably successful experiment.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Pours hazy light orange to yellow with a white head. Fruity spicy aroma. Flavour is slight chemical and going into a mild bubblegum sensation. Mild bitter finish. Yeasty bubblegum flavoured beers I really don’t get, well brewed, but I just don’t like it.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
RBSG 2007 Pub Crawl: Pours a clear gold in color with a white head. Aroma, bubble gum, yeast, and spice. Flavor, yeasty, lemon, spice, some cloyingness, and some pepper. Tasty beverage.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
RBSG 2007 pub crawl. Nice thick head. Smelled spicey, tasted grassy with bananas. Smooth drink and finish.
4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
RBSG 07weekendl. Pours a nice hazy golden with a fluffy lasting white head- and decent carbonation (when I came back the following day for the pub crawl , this beer seemed to have less carbonation). Aroma is spicy yet clean belgian ale yeast- tons of herbal an dgrassy hops- hoppy saison-like. Very hoppy flavor with some spicy phenols, grass, herbal and flowery with a nice tacky almost harsh bitterness which I loved. Smooth body and mouthfeel.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
RBSG 2007 at Barley John’s. The beer is a hazy pale straw colored body with a creamy white head. The aroma is fruity yeasty Belgian ale mixed with an English hop. The flavor is fruity with light oranges and hay with Belgian yeasts. Drying palate with a nice bitterness and texture.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
One of the better beers from BJ’s. It has a light Belgian yeast aroma that includes hops. Flavor is quite dry, lightly spiced. Cloudy yellow with a nice head. More of a saison than a Belgian ale.
