hazy gold, fine white head, lots of scattered lace, bready malt aroma with a candy sweetness, light sweet malt flavor, light lasting bitterness, simple but very nice and drinkable for a 3.5% beer

While not a big bitter fan, I did thouroughly enjoy this version. Slightly brighter bitter bite than expected...well supported by a bready caramel maltiness and spritzy carbonation. Tad thin-bodied but not detracting at all. This was a very good example of an Americanized version of the style.

clear off orange pour w/ a thick off white rocky head and great lacing. Light aroma touch of toffee and a very light piney aroma. avg pal. Dry piney flavor very light, very plain.. likely very true to the style.. a touch of bitterness in the finish.

Draft. Clear amber/orange. Lite beer in so many ways. Pale malt and caramel in the taste, with no ’bite’ anywhere. Light body; thin texture.

On tap RBSG 07. A golden amber pour with a mostly malt aroma. A full malt flavor as well with a good bittering finish. A tad thin on the palate but a solid drinker.

Light yellow in color, moderate head. Bready, light toast body with a touch of hop flavor. I could drink a lot of these.

Draft... RBSG 07... Clear, very light golden ale with a mid-sized, frothy, white head. Incredible retention. Odd smelling for a bitter, but I like it. Earthy, woodsy aroma with undercurrents of spent mash and delicately toasted barley. Restrained bitter-sweet flavors of caramel, English-American hybrid hops and boiled grain. Light-bodied and fizzy. Short, crisp, mildly bitter finish.

RBSG 2007 Pub Crawl – Orange, egg shell white creamy head. Nose held delicate toasty notes of earth and wood, and just a slight hint of citrus. Well balanced citric earthy bitterness that sits upon a soft woodsy undertone. Light to medium bodied, fizzy carbonation, crisp, soft bitter finish. Sessionable all the way as it is what it is...
