Jul 26, 2005 RBSG ’05 - grassy hops and honey coming off a clear golden pour topped with a foamy white layer of head. a very nice transition from the grassy hops and some grapefruit and orange tones to a sweet malt backbone. the aftertaste was excellent, with the blends remaining intact to provide a pleasant lingering flavor. this was an excellent full flavored and medium bodied beer.

Jul 24, 2005 Slightly hazy gold ale with large bubbly head. Hop aroma with malt, not as refined as I ve seen with other similar beers .Flavour as expected was hoppy, positive surprise was good presence of decent malt. Very nice. Alcohol present but did not do much effect on final effect.

Jul 20, 2005 Pours hazy copper with a medium sized white head. Big pine/grapefruit hop nose that starts to thin out fairly quickly. Pretty run of the mill kind of stuff. Not balanced all that well. Far more hops than malt. Finish is fairly clean. Doesn’t spark a lot of interest from me.

Jul 17, 2005 Bright bronze colour. Chewy, piney hops with plenty of crystal malt in the aroma. Sweet & bitter flavour with piney hops. A simple imperial IPA two-step that I’ve seen a dozen times before.

A large head came from the pour that sat above a hazy amber body.
Flowery, resiny hop aroma. The flavor balance runs towards the bitter side, lots of hops here. Very nice solid IPA.

Jul 13, 2005 Sampled from 22 oz bottle at RBSG Montreal. Cloudy dull amber with a lasting bit of creamy head...smelly, spicy citrus-cedary nose...on the tongue, very sweet, moderately hoppy, lightly oaky, turning quite bitter and orangy...full, slightly rustic unfiltered and chewy mouthfeel. Nice, very nice.

Jul 13, 2005 RBSG 2005. Orange amber, small white head. Thanks to eyedrinkale for alerting me to the opening of the bottle. Moderate hoppy aroma, citrus. Flavour is quite hop dominant with not much malt registering on the radar. Lots of citrus and muddled hops - resin, leafy... hard to pull apart. Medium palate. Interesting. More please?

Jul 11, 2005 (660ml bottle) Sampled at the RBSG 2005 in Montreal. Pours a thin white, non-regenerating head with an amber body. Nose is very lactic yet hoppy. Piney flavour upon a milky candle wax. Too tart.
