hapjydeuce (558), Carlsbad, California, USA Jun 15, 2008 On cask at the Real Ale Festival at Pizza Port Carlsbad. Hazy yellow color with a classic foamy cask appearance. Sweet orange and grapefruit citrus aroma. Nice sessionable flavor with medium bitterness. Simcoe hops come into play in the finish with a peppery and piny palate. Kind of lacking depth, but pretty tasty.
JMFG (1086), Florida, USA Aug 16, 2008 On tap @ O’Briens. Dark straw color, nice looking layer of dense white head. Interesting strong hop aroma - some citrus, but real grassy also, with a skunky cat piss aroma that wasn’t entirely bad. Real hoppy start to the taste - pepper and pine with a sweet backing. I liked it. hopscotch (4433), Vero Beach, Florida, USA Aug 15, 2008 Growler… RBSG’08… Clear golden ale with a small, creamy, white head. Great retention. Earthy pine and grapefruit aroma. Medium-bodied with ticklish carbonation. Pleasant, numbing hop bitterness… not overbearing. Low sweetness with the tiniest pinch of salt. Finishes moderately bitter, and then dry. gotbeach (121), San Diego, California, USA Aug 13, 2008 RBSG tap at O’Brian’s. Nice clear yellow color with dim head. Fresh hop and citrus aroma with a clean, crisp, and light finish. DA (2376), Portland, Oregon City, Oregon, USA Aug 11, 2008 RBSG at Obrien’s. I took Christians advice and tried this out, good thing, it was a really nice beer. Well balanced, very floral hops that give a pine and apricot note. Crisp palate with lingering spicy hop note into the finish. maniac (1949), Richmond, Virginia, USA Aug 9, 2008 On tap At O’Brien’s in San Diego on 08/01/2008 on the RBSG Friday Pub Crawl. Clear golden amber body with a small white head. Very grassy hop aroma. Grassy and citrus hop flavor with light honey. Medium body with moderate carbonation.
