Slightly murky gold colored. Good lacing all around the glass. Very hoppy nose, some pilsener-like crispness to the flavor, starchy and thick, creamy palate with a strong grapefruit presense. A lot of things rolled into one beer... doesn’t make it a masterpeice, but also it’s not a mess like you might think.

Light amber with an off-white head. Herbal citrus lemon aroma. Herbal lemon bitter flavor. Medium bodied and lightly dry finish. So-so.

(RBSG04) Hazy apple juice body with off-white head. Aroma is meidum sweet, lemon, herbal, apple. Taste is medium sweet, herbal, lemon, pretty bitter. Light-medium body, good crispness.

Pours an amber color with a white head that leaves good lacing. Citrus aroma with some malty backing. Taste started sour and fruityish with a bitterness at the end. The maltyness of this brew was so faint upfront, but the brew was fairly smooth .

Amber ruby color, sticky lacing, good head. The aroma is nicely malty, caramel & hops. The flavor is tangy again like most of their beers but a good sweet malt balance & a medium bodied finish. Solid malts. Finishes dry, tangy, more hop bitterness coming through. Eh.
