(Bottle) Pours a clear orange body with a large creamy off-white head. Aroma of mandarin orange, coriander, light toastiness, peach, and caramel. Flavor of orange and honey with a sweet and somewhat sticky finish.

22oz bottle acquired in trade with DarkElf (thanks!). Poured a medium golden color with an averaged sized white head. Aromas of orange peel and honey. Tastes of oranges, stronger honey, and some citrus. Definitely a honey presence to this beer (I’ve never really been a huge honey fan but if you are, you should try this one).

Draft… RBSG’08… Clear golden ale with orange highlights and a small, creamy, white head. Decent retention. Restrained nose of perfumy orange blossoms and cereal grains. Medium-bodied with a skim-milk mouthfeel and bristly carbonation. The flavor is perfectly balanced, but bland and boring. Crisp, mostly clean finish.

Bottle sampled on 8/10/07: Pours a transparent bright copper orange with an effervescent thin white head. Aroma of tart sour oranges with a touch of sweet light caramel malt. Starts with a light toasty malty sweetness with some tart orange balance toward a mildly bitter finish. An ok brew but almost has similar vinegar notes as some infected beers.

Draught Hazy amber beer, small whitish rim. Mushroom smell, mushroom sauce?? Sweet - faintly citrussy, some malts, just a bit of sweetness, and, warming up, honeyish. Light, some grist slickness. Very weird beer, nose is not really inviting.
