Sep 21, 2008 1 L bottle: Pours a hazy copper bronze with a stringy-lacing white head. Aroma of sweet biscuity pale malts with a touch of clove and orange zest along with good Belgian yeastiness. Body starts fairly full and sweet with a good spice and bitter balance with a nice light fruity character before a bready yeasty finish. A pretty good and true to style tripel.

Sep 8, 2008 Bottle… RBSG ‘08… Murky, apple juice colored ale with a small, creamy, white head. Spicy, fruity aroma provides instances of clove, pear and banana. Full-bodied with nearly-dead carbonation. Sweet, fruity flavor. Lengthy, sweet, fruity finish with just a hint of bitterness in the aftermath.

Aug 18, 2008 RBSG 2008. Pours cloudy orange wtih a soft white head. Yeasty nose, lots of citrus and a soft estery scent. Boozy up front that seemed to take over the flavor of everything but the spices, which then stand out more. Should settle a bit with age.

Aug 16, 2008 Poured a nice orangish yellowish hue. Smells of sweet spice. Taste is a nice sweet and spciy mix with a minor malt and hop swallow. Very warming with a nice aftertate of sweet hops. Great job Scott.

Aug 11, 2008 Thanks to Larry for bringing this bottle by! Poured hazy peach with just a dusting of white head. The aroma picked up toasty paler malts surrounded by brighter, alcohol-infused pear-like sweetness.. aiight. The flavor was spicy and rather hot with pale malts and lighter fruits at the core.. dry black peppery spices surrounded.. finished with peppery alcohol. Medium-bodied and warm throughout the mouth.. lots of spicage.. just OK.
