Dark amber color, small white head. Big C hop aroma with some lightly sweet malts. Flavor starts with a slight malty sweetness, plenty of grapefruity hop flavors. Finishes fairly bitter. Not bad at all.

Bottle, good nose, Pine and grapefruit. Brownish orange color. Bitter flavors Grapefruit/burnt kinda thing. Thinner body maybe a little creamy, Very tasty, surprised not to hear more about this one before now.

Tap @ Patty’s for RBSG 04’
Lightly amber, bronze color, white head, light lacing. The aroma is sweet with hops & citrus with pine. The flavor is lightly tangy, sweet with some very present hops & a good finished balance. Overall a good IPA, fresh PNW flavors, very creamy.

After 3 fairly malty drinks it is time for some hops.. prety nice looking in appearance, dark burnished orange..small frothy white head. the aroma is wonderful and fresh, piney,sherbety.hops hops hops. Taste though it starts with a small malty taste,,it becomes very bitter and zesty..till it subsides somewhat..but still a nice bitter aftertaste. pretty nice and adventurous on the palate. pretty drinkable very good IPA but not really top class.

Poured a deep, hazy amber color with a huge 4-finger frothy head. Citris, pine, and fruity smells. Nice bitter start and finish. Fruity flavor with a nice hoppy finish. Very good IPA

Nice IPA! Pours deep amber/copper with a huge ’had-to-run-to-the-sink’ kind of head which lasts a good long time. Aroma is sharply hoppy, very nice! The hops seem to settle out of it after a minute and it takes on a very sweet caramel malt aroma. Hops wallop (tee hee) your tongue, flavor wise, but the malt stands up quite well. It’s medium bodied, perfectly carbonated, and finishes dry with a pleasant lingering bitterness. I really enjoy this one.

Pours a cloudy copper color with floating particles throughout the beer. Strong grapefruit aromas combined with a hint of other citrusy fruits dominates the nose. Again, grapefruit reigns over the citrusy flavors and the finish is a gentle hop bitterness that lingers long after the last sip. I don't think I'd consider this one a classic but it's highly recommended. I'll be seeking another one out real soon.

Coppery hued with a large frothy head that settles nicely and produces a good lace. The aroma hints of pine, grapefruit, apple, biscuit and bready malts, floral, and dusty yeast esters. The taste starts citrusy and bitter but not overpowering, sublime really with good malty background. The finish is smooth and mildly bitter, again good balance shown. The mouthfeel is a tad watery, lively, and smooth. This is a darn solid IPA, with good enough bitterness for hopheads yet isn't overblown, outstanding balance. Recommended. Thanks loweredsixth for the bottle.
