Draft… RBSG 2010… Cloudy burnt orange ale with a mid-sized, creamy, off-white head. Great retention. The nose is malty, but understated – some caramel. Full-bodied and velvety with laid-back carbonation. Well-balanced brew – leans just a touch toward the bitter but presents plenty of malt flavor. Finishes malty, rich and mildly bitter.

On tap at TJ’s. Clear cola with a fluffy beige head. Nose is grape, blueberry and caramel. Medium body with a buzz. Taste is brown sugar and boysenberry with just a touch of coffee bitterness. I didn’t pick up on the floral and herbal additions. Maybe that’s where i got the berry flavors.
