(Savor, can) Crystal clear apple juice body with soft off-white head. Aroma is moderately sweet, pine, catty, some pineapple, grapefruit. Taste is medium sweet, pine/grapefruit, some cattiness. Medium body, some resin.

Canned pour into a frozen pint mug. Pour a nice cantalope like color, maybe more amber than that. Nice citrus aroma. Some good canned beers out lately and this is one of them. Great floral and citrus flavor. I’m very impressed.

RBSG 2008. Pretty nice IPA, lots of citrus hops, good balance to it all. Pretty solid this stuff comes in a can. Pours amber with a small white head. Enjoyable IPA, not over the top, but a good crisp floral personality.

Pours a dark amber in color. A very nice four inch of head forms on the pour. Took a couple seconds to make room in the glass to finish the pour. Smell is floral hops. Taste is creamy, well balanced hops. Not very assertive, over the top hops, but well put together. This is a very malty IPA. I’ve had several canned beers and this is the first one where I swear I get a metallic hint in the beer. Very good nonetheless.

Aromas of light hoppy florals and citrus. Some sweet pale and caramel malts. Clear golden pour with a thin head. Nice smooth maltiness upfront followed by a nice bitterness profile that consists of earthy floral hops and light citrus skins. Smooth medium carbonation renders this beer nicely drinkable. Some hoppy resins linger on the palate in the form of moderate dryness.

12oz. can. Dark gold color, nice white head that clings very well. Lots of piney, grassy hops in the nose. Nice hop bitterness, well balanced malts as well. Very good IPA.
