Bright amber colour. A bit strange - not distinctively gourdy, but at least a clean, crisp, moderately malty amber ale with toasty/caramelly accent. Hrm.

(2003): Sweet herbal aroma, with some candy sugar/bubblegum. Taste is sweet, light Tripelesque, herbal and mint. Different squash from last year, with a better taste. (2002): Cloudy golden in appearance, with a mild fruity aroma. I'd never guess the squash without being told -- the flavor is very fruity and mild, with hint of alcohol. No noticeable bitterness.

Poured a medium orange color with a very small sized heat. Aromas of yeast, earthy, citrus, spices, and squash. Tastes of spices, squash, and caramel. There was definitely squash in there that made this one different and interesting.

Sampled @ brewery, RBSG 2004. Clear light yellow. Spicy nose, some definite squash there, with some yeast and alcohol... spicy peach, very light and fresh tasting. Nice, even carbonation.

Tap @ Rose & Raindrop for RBSG 04
Hazy gold color, creamy head, light lacing. Aroma is lightly hoppy with potato notes & almost rusty spices present. The flavor is well balanced, a full body not derived from malt or alcohol with spicy hops, very tasty & drinkable.
