Aug 22, 2007 Hazy light brown body, just a few bubbles to greet the edge of the glass with some life. The aroma is moderately sweet and fruit dominated, with notes of grapefruit, orange, grapeskins, backing notes of caramel and a sheery wood foray. The flavor is very sweet, rich and caramel focused, fruit notes wringing out mild acidity and light hoppy bitterness. The finish is medium-full, lengthy and smooth, caramel, fruit and nuts lingering. Alcohol warmth is generous in the mouthfeel and finish. The palate is medium-full bodied, lightly carbonated and smooth, light graininess. Sugars throughout add to complexity but also give this a feeling of mild underattenuation. Very tasty.

Aug 2, 2007 RBSG 07. A hzed orange pour with a light tan head. An aroma of not sour not sweet a pleasantly odd aroma for me. A high abv flavor that is semi sweet. Mouthfeel and carbonation are good as well. A very warm offering. If all lagers were like this one it would change my opinion of the style I’m sure.
