Sep 5, 2008 Draft... RBSG ‘08... Clear, light yellow ale with small, creamy, white head. Excellent retention. Acidic, grainy nose. Medium to full-bodied and syrupy with lively carbonation. Well-balanced, mildly tart flavor with a nice hop bite. Lengthy, crisp, mildly sweet finish.

Sep 3, 2008 Draft at Brouwers.
If this mess is a nod to Orval I hope I never do anything to merit a nod from New Belgium. Yeah, it’s a Belgian-style ale, and yeah, with a bit of imagination you can taste some brett in there. But Orval? Get the hell out of here. This sweet, grainy, basically a half-arsed attempt at a light Belgian from an American microbrewery. No aroma save for a bit of apple juice. Not undrinkable by any means -- just not anything special in the least.

Sep 2, 2008 Draft@ Brouwer’s. Light amber with a tight head. Mild nose is a little bit of cheese with bready malts and spice. Medium body. Lightly sweet grainy pale malt flavor with some spicy yeast. The bar keep called this a sour ale; not even close.

Aug 30, 2008 On tap at Papago. Light, hazy golden color pour with a foamy white head. Light sweet fruit, malt and yeast aroma. Flavor is almost the same, but with a touch of spice and tartness on the finish. Very light and refreshing on the palate, but maybe a bit too light. Good, but nothing memorable.
