Pours a clear amber with a good off-white head. The aroma is of some sweet malt, caramel, and fruity hops. The taste is clean. Lots of bitterness up front, but balanced with a good amount of malt. This has pleanty of piney, fruity, caramel, and bready notes. This is a good medium-full body beer with a crisp bitter finish. This is well balanced and a very nice drinker. Well done Elysian.

RBSG09 on tap at the Rogue Publick House in SF. Pours golden amber with a thin off-white head. Floral apple juice aroma and some earthiness and bread. Flavor is lightly doughy with floral hops, apples, light grapefruit. Too sweet, needs more earthy hops. Pretty drinkable. Dry on the palate.
