Draft… RBSG 2010… Clear yellow lager with a small, fizzy, white head. The aroma is very earthy, piney and cat pissy. Medium to full-bodied and pretty creamy with jazzy carbonation. The flavor mirrors the nose with lots of earthy, piney notes. Balance is good. Lengthy, moderately bitter finish. I could drink a boatload of this one.

Draft at Hopcat during RBSG. Pours a pale gold with a sticky white head. Hoppier nose than the IIPA I had at the same time, got lots of citrus and some light pine as well. On taste, a bit metallic at first with some clean honey and citrus coupled bitterness. Very easy drinking and refreshing. Nice fresh hop taste. Good stuff.

On tap at Hopcat. Poured crystal-clear lighter golden with a sticky white head. The aroma was fresh and bright with lemon zest over honeyed malts.. spicy fruit, earth, and pine joined in.. perfect balance with warm undertones. The flavor had a sweet honey and lesser bready base with lively hop bitterness around (pine, lemon, and dusty, dry, peppery earth).. tangy bitter and lemony finish. Crisp and refreshing on the palate, despite some warmth.. spicy, bitter, and engaging. Excellent stuff!

On tap at The Green Well. Crystal clear, straw-colored, long-lasting white head leaving terrific lacing. Citrusy and spicy aroma. Light-bodied, highly carbonated with a long-lasting finish. The flavor is dry with a spicy and citrusy finish that keeps giving after each swallow. A terrific session beer. Out of the ordinary.

Pours a pale yellow with a small but tight head and some lace. The aroma is floral and citrusy with plenty of hop character and a very clean maltiness. The flavor is nicely spicy and very hoppy with some good snappy hop bitterness and intensely clean (if such a thing exists) there are light mineral notes as well. This is damned delicious and I’d be happy to buy a good deal of it if it were on the shelves.

Bottle at Eccentric for RBSG. Pours a light golden with a small white head. Aroma is very clean and crisp, some cookie sweetness and and sharp earhty hoppiness that bites the nose nicely. Flavor is really nice and earthy while also providing a complex hop character that melds nicely with the classic pils taste while providing a nice American hop presence. Nice soft biscuit note with the fruit character. Medium body and a soft carbonation. Really nice beer
