| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jan 12, 2009 Draft at San Diego Brewing Company. Some orange and caramel aromas off this reddish brown ale with a small head. Flavors were more orange and sweet malts. Somewhat of an amber ale finish. Just Okay.

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 17, 2008 On tap @ Hamilton’s Tavern. Pours a light straw yellow, with a small white head. Nose was lightly wheaty and slightly fruity. Not sure why this is in the ’’Fruit Beer’’ category. alexanderj (2269), Chino Hills, California, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Nov 2, 2008 Fruit Beer? Not really sure of that. On tap at Coronado. Poured a dull, ruddy gold. Aroma of malt/wheat?, with a bit of fruit and spice, but I might be being generous with a bit. Flavor was fine, but just boring. Malty with a slight citrus/orange/spice presence. Drinkable, but definitely not memorable. hopscotch (5501), Vero Beach, Florida, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Aug 22, 2008 Draft (served with an orange wedge)… RBSG ’08… Lightly hazed, straw-colored ale with a small, fizzy, white head. Sweet, fruity nose with a notation of orange blossom honey. Light to medium-bodied with tingly carbonation. The flavor is very well balanced and, much like the aroma, provides fruity notes with a touch of orange blossom honey. Lightly bitter finish. bsierra (213), Vista, California, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 15/20 | Jul 26, 2008 On tap at Newport Pizza and Ale house. Pours a rusty gold hue with a very quick diminishing white head. Nose is kinda a light lemon grass, grain. Flavor is very light with a decent malt presence but not a whole lot more to it. Seem like this would make for a pretty good session beer, but all and all it was just ok to me~ doubleo (1121), San Diego, California, USA
