Aug 6, 2005 I’ve seen this brewery’s beers around Atlanta and never bought them because the labels look pretty stupid and gimmicky. This beer surprised me though. Nice malty backbone. Sweet, but not too sweet. The hops are fresh tasting and up front and aggressive, but a little on the harsh side, but not so harsh as to push it into the undrinkable area.

Aug 2, 2005 RBSG 05. Nice hoppy aroma, citrus some pine and very resiny. Lots of malt background in this beer. Finishes a bit warming but very nice. I really liked this one!

Jul 31, 2005 Bottle: Courtesy of DarkElf via trade. Lots of caramel, toffee, and banana bread in the aroma. Hops are present but the malts dominate the aroma. Pours a deep red with some transparency and a nice off-white head that becomes a small ring. Lots of caramel and banana bread up front. Big piney hop finish. Reminds me much more of the hoppy barley wines as opposed to an IIPA, which I don’t have a problem with.

Jul 30, 2005 Not sure how i havent rated this yet as i have had it many times. Its got a nice amberish sunset look to it and is fairly transparent. I get alot of graipfruits in the aroma and the body. Very big, with a wet feel to it. The best thing ive had from this brewery.

Jul 28, 2005 Clear darkish amber, honest off-white head. Complex hop aromatics in the nose are backed by a more than fair toasted malt molasses-cookie like. Sweaty and earthy, vibrant and evolutive. Good balance for the style, rich malt and rich hops, no mistakes and we avoid the traps of acidity. Straightforward perhaps, but enticing, rich hop flavors array, going from one citrus to the other with tangerine surprisingly winning. Ample bodied, fair soft carbonation.

Jul 28, 2005 Bottle poured a hazy copper with a huge tan head. Aromas of pine, citrus,carmel, and a hint of vinous. Palate is typical IPA smooth and a little resiny. Flavors of grapefruit rind, pine, some carmel, with an appropriatelly bitter finish.

Jul 24, 2005 Plain amber, creamy head, medium carbonation. Hoppy aroma at front with mat, butter underscore. Acidic, citric hop flavours. Hops are very intense here, palate killer.
