3.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Sampled at the RBSG Summer Grand Tasting (Grand Rapids, MI). Pours orange golden pour, largely clear, small whitish head sits atoromas are dank weed, grass, florals, tropical fruit, lemon. Initial is mellow tropical, a bit underbodied. Tasty juicy fruit. Clean, underbodied. The aromas are it’s strength, no real haze at all almost makes it seem filtered. The body leads me to believe this as well. Started out good, but lacked any true bold and passionate flavors and palate stick. An ok IPA, underbodied and underhopped. I need to make it down to Brickstone and try and rate their wares from the tap
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Sample at RBSG Summer Grand Tasting 2010. Pours a clear golden orange in color with a small white head. The aroma was grassy, floral hops, tropical fruit, and lemony citrus. The flavor was moderately hoppy with an emphasis on tropical fruit and citrus. The malts were not pronounced. Only a mild bitterness in the finish. This lacks body and anything that really grabs me and says drink me again.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
RBSG 2010. Poured clear copper color with an average frothy white head that lasted with fair lacing. Moderate to heavy sour citrus hop aroma. Medium body with a slick texture and soft carbonation. Moderate to heavy bitter flavor with a moderate to heavy bitter finish of medium to long duration. My expectations where exceeded.
