Aug 29, 2003 15 Year Bitter. Poured a rich amber color with little, but persistent, head. The aroma has a nice malty fruit character with nice hops in the finish. The flavor is also quite enjoyable. Dominated by caramel and fruity malt, it has a nice balancing hop finish. Flavorful and easy drinking, this is a nice session ale.

Jun 29, 2003 On tap - Garnet red with almost no head or lacing, medium-bodied. Earthy, tart (grapefruit) aroma, nice. Taste hinted of pine and wood, some grainy undertones. Hoppy finish, soft and warming mouthfeel. Above average ESB.

Jul 18, 2003 Cedar coloured, very persistent off-white head. Wonderful aroma -> pine, hops, a bit of lemon rind, a good amount of sweet malt to balance. . . Adequate flavour - a good representation of the style and a very nice session ale.

Jul 1, 2003 tap-Goose Island Clybourn-RBSG-6/29/03. Aroma was very hoppy. Appearance was ruby red with a slight rocky head. Palate was full bodied and smooth. Flavor was full of earthy british hops, and a nice malt backbone. of the 3 beers i had at GI, this was the best.

Jun 30, 2003 Tap @ GIBC, RBSG2003. Seemed to have a bit of West-Coasty hops, but doesn't. Has some of a sweet Maris touch without the hi alch I usually associate with that malting. Graprefruit. Nice red color. No lingering head. Not as good as I had hoped.

Jul 9, 2003 Berry pepper sprinkled on earth and loads of hops...In a thin body like this, this hoppy overhaul kind of buries the fact that it's not that complex...A grand Marnier-like alcohol appears, although this is not strong at all in alcohol...A puzzling wine of a bitter that should probably be billed otherwise...

Jun 8, 2003 Dark ruby red with a very light grassy aroma. Extra Special Watery (ESW) and light on all levels. Some faint grassy hops at the end preceeded by light tasting malts that do not offer much sweetness (caramel, etc).
