Head is initially huge, frothy, off-white, mostly lasting. Body is hazy dark yellow, bottle conditioned. Aroma is lightly malty (toasted grain), moderately yeasty (barnyard, horseblanket, cobwebs), with notes of lemon, hay, flowers, wood. Flavor is moderately sweet, heavily acidic. Finish is lightly sweet, heavily acidic, lightly bitter. Medium body, velvety texture, lively to fizzy carbonation. Great appearance, and a very funky aroma...very good, but not among the top five I’ve had. Much thanks to Nick for sharing a sample of this ultra-rare brew!

Aug 18, 2008 RBSG 2008. Another amazing treat, big thanks to who brought these. Earthy gueuze, cheese and citrus in the nose. Soft leather, barny-funktastic, dry with a mellow sourness and acidity. These age so well, just mellow and delicious.

Aug 8, 2008 RBSG ’08: Huge thanks to the guy who brought this. I never thought I would get this one and it was sure worth the wait. Poured a hazy yellow color with a small white head. The aroma is all of why I love the style. Tart citrus and tart leather. Yum yum. The flavor was sour and acidic but crisp on the finish. Nice yeaty leather funk. Refill please.

Aug 7, 2008 RBSG ’08. Sampled at the Grand Tasting at Pizza Port Carlsbad. This was another awesome standout of the tasting. Murky yellow color with a ring of white head. Nice acidic aroma with some grain. Very smooth. Great flavor with a satisfying tart finish. Really easy to drink with a touch of oak. Great!

Aug 5, 2008 Courtesy of Dunk at RBSG. Huge thanks to Steve for sharing this rare gem! Pours a cloudy gold orange color, with a swirly and foamy white head. Smells of sweet tannic fruits, lots of 3 Fonteinen sourness Ive known to grow and love, and acidity. The flavor was, of course, much the same. The acidity wasnt as sharp as osme of their beers, but it was definitely there. Still quite sour, and not chowing any signs of dying down due to age at all. Tannic fruits line the edge ofthe tongue as the cheeks pucker. Pretty brilliant brew.
