Nov 20, 2007 Growler RBSG 07. Murky orange pour with a white head. Aroma of appl skin, light cherry, toasted malt, vinous and sour notes. Flavors of dry white wine, sour, and apple skin. Light body, sour throughout with a super dry finish. Nice way to start the evening.

Nov 18, 2007 Growler at the RBSG grand tasting on 6/23/07: Pours a hazy golden bronze with a spotty-lacing white head. Aroma of lightly sweet toasty pale malt and some tart mildly funky balance. Body starts very tart and acidic with a hint of sweet pale malt and cherrty fruitiness. Finishes drier and puckering. An ok Berliner Weiss, but a little too tart for the style.

Oct 5, 2007 RBSG 07 Minneapolis Grand Tasting: Murky orange/brown, light head and lacing. Nose of underripe banana, funky wheat and sweet ginger. The flavor is tart, umami, tart, roasty. Nice and sour, dry, just like the style dictates. Hmmm, nice.

Jul 24, 2007 RBSG 2007 Grand Tasting. Cloudy gold with a white head. Sour, astringent nose, funky and spicy, sour green apple and something like sour wheat. Excellent, sharply sour flavors, sour green apple, very tart, some lemony flavors. This will pucker you up for sure! Dry sour finish, almost powdery. Medium full mouthfeel, the carbonation bounces the otherwise heavy beer off the tongue. Loved it!
