COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This is our flagship beer. Medium body, beautiful golden colour, good mouth feel and a refreshing hop finish. We use six selected malts and five different kinds of premium hops. This recipe is secret, but the Pale Ale is very tasty and hoppy.

Clear golden body with a thin white head. Mild aroma and flavor of hops and caramel. Light to medium body with a creamy texture and low carbonation. Unremarkable.

12oz bottle acquired in trade with BlankBoy (thanks!). Poured a medium amber color with a small sized white head. Aromas of mainly grain with light caramel. Tastes was reversed, mainly caramel with some grain and maybe some citrus in there as well. Thinner body.

I hate it when you get an APA and the aroma is hoppy and then you taste it and you are overwhelmed with malt. Completely unbalanced and not complex in the least. Very overcarbonated, with a golden appearance and a quickly fading soda like head. Finish is akin to pine-sol.

Bottle, RBESG 07. Very subdued beer, it has a nice dry finish. But the body is missing!

Tried this on tap at the 2008 Pepperwood Bistro Beer Festival. Good plain pale ale but nothing much different about it.

Golden yellow with no head. Malty aroma with slight floral aroma. Very nutty adn bitter. Lingering bitterness

Bottle thanks to HogTownHarry! Poured a clear medium golden with a short cap of creamy white head. Nose picked up floral hops, hay, toffee, grain, and light veggies... really did not appeal to me. The primary flavor characteristic was sharp bitter veggies.... corn husk, lemon zest, and cardboard were also in there. Lighter-bodied and sharper on the palate. I didn’t much care for this one.
