22oz bottle. Nice orange/yellow color, white head with good lacing. Very nice floral aroma, fresh of course, grassy as well. Very well balanced with the malts, not over the top on the bitterness, very tasty and very well done.

22 ounce bottle courtesy of riversideAK. Thanks Alex! Shared with Alraomon. Poursa an orange-yellow color with a medium head. Low head retention and moderate lacing. Huge fresh and leafy hop aroma with a few malty notes. Strong pineapple/grapefruit hop taste. Full bodied. Very nice.

Bomber shared with Parksy and non-RB friends. Pours an orange-tinted golden with a dense cream-coloured head that displays remarkable retention and nice lacing. Big fresh fruity hop aromas (mango peel, citrus). This beer is all about the hops, but they are married to a nice sweet malt balance. Really nice.

So I think this would have been better fresh. It seemed the hop aroma and flavor had gone away some and the hop characteristics were pretty weak. Nonetheless, it was still a decent brew but almost no bitterness.

Tap at Hamilton’s. Pale golden straw coloured beer with a thin white head. Softly hoppy aroma. Light pine and a light lemony citrus as well.. Very lean pale malts and a soft zesty hoppiness as well. Less resinous than the aroma would suggest. Soft lemon balm flavour with a soft pale malt sweetness. Very light herbal bitterness. Fruity with just a touch of resinousness on the back. It’s a light brew, but a pretty decent one.

The aroma was fruity and slightly maltywith hints of peaches and grapefruits. The beer poured a clear, medium brown color with thin lasting head and lacing. The flavor was lightly malty with citrus, peach, and a slight hint of pine. The mouthfeel was light to medium bodied and good carbonation. A really good beer!
