Bottled: Light amber coloured. Unclear. Beige head. Has this spruce needle aroma you find in many of these hoppy american beers. Not that it by any meens is unpleasent, but beers tend to be very similar. Oh well. Herbs, some fruity and loads of malts in the aroma. Flavour is herbal and malty with some vague choco notes. Is light fruity with a bitter touch in the end.

Cloudy amber color with off-white head. Aroma dominated by malts. So is the taste. Hops jump in behind the malt to bitter-up the flavor, though the bitterness doesn’t linger long. Leans toward the sweet side, but avoids a syrupy mouthfeel. Medium to thin body, clean sipping. A nice, refreshing bitter.

Bottled. RBESG -05. Amber colour. Rich hop aroma and flavour, though not on the citrusy side. Dry mouthfeel.

Amber coloured with a thick white head. Hoppy, flowery orange nose with a small alcoholic hint. Dry mouthfeel. Sweet, refreshing hoppy flavour. Slight fruity. Flavour fades away quickly though.....too bad, since it´s wonderful. Great bitter finish.

Bottle 12 oz. Brown color with full off-white head that diminished slowly. Roasted malt aroma. Medium body. Well balanced malt flavor with a medium pleasing bitter finish. Very enjoyable drinkable brew.

I liked everything about this beer: the bottle, the logo, the name - to say nothing of the attractive amber colour and frothy off-white head and lacing, the glorious floral aroma, the malty taste with citrus and other fruits and the satisfying bitter finish. Class act.
