Pale yellow, slight head fades quickly, appropriately hazed. Aroma is lightly of grainy wheat and some dusty coriander. Flavor is a match, with the coriander spice note being the biggest player other than the light wheat notes. Did not pick up on the citrus characteristics at all unfortunately. A mildly refreshing beer, but nothing exciting here.

Aug 31, 2008 Draft at the brewery. Pours a lightly hazy straw gold, with a small white head. Smells of light bubblegum and banana wheat characters. Mild citrus presence. The flavor was also more on the banana and wheat flavors side, with not much of a citrus balance here. Just an average American version of a Belgian style. Not too bad, and certainly drinkable, but similar to many others Ive had in this style.

Aug 18, 2008 Draft… RBSG ‘08… Hazy, straw-colored ale with a small, creamy, white head. The nose is subtle, but displays spicy and grainy notes with a suggestion of citrus. Light-bodied and watery with tingly carbonation. Mostly nondescript flavor. Thin, watery finish.

Aug 17, 2008 On tap @ brewery, RBSG. Light murky straw color with a thin, short-lived off-white head. Lots of orange peel and chalky grain, hint of yeast on the nose. Slightly fruity sweetness, some spice, light grassy finish.

Aug 15, 2008 It looks like I got a much better bottle of this that most. Pours hazy light yellow with a smallish white head. The aroma has richness or wheat, dry orange / lemon zest with a hint of coriander. Medium body that is smoother than most wits with carbonation that has sharp and soft traits ~ it’s prickly, but gentle and spreads the flavor well. The flavor starts with wheat and light spice from the coriander along with some phenolic spice and citrus. The finish has a bit more spice and citrus. A good wit.

Aug 13, 2008 RBSG 2008, on tap at the brewery. Hazy gold body with a thin white head. Citrus floral nose, soft clove in the spiciness and coriander. Moderate wheat flavor to the body, with a crisp dry finish.
