[Cask at the Wharf Rat, Baltimore] A hazy orange beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet and rather hoppy. The flavor has a delicious fresh light citrus note on a crisp malt background, leading to an end with a good bitterness, but the body is a bit thin.

(Cask) Pours a clear amber body with a medium-sized creamy off-white head. Creamy and malty with a bitter finish. Excellent example of a English bitter.

Draft... RBSG2006... Clear amber ale with a small, creamy, off-white head. Faint aroma of toffee. Malty, fruity flavor. Delicately sweet, but decently bittered. Honey and toffee. Medium-bodied with soft carbonation. Lightly bitter, dry finish.

Draught @ The Wharf Rat in Baltimore Golden amber color, nice head and lacing. Nose of fruity musky rot, bright hops and a bit of sweet caramel. The flavor is fairly bland, typical hoppy bitterness and malt. Finishes tinny, a bit more funky. Infected?

On-tap at the downtown brewpub, enjoyed with Todd1. A bit cheesy aroma. Grapefruit colour with a lot of white head. Clean taste, British bitterness and it is significant. Medium mouthfeel.Smooth drinker, with understated carbonation, and served at appropriate temperature despite the heat of the outside.

Sample at the brewpub. This beer pours a copper/amber color with a thin off-white head that recedes steadily. Thin rings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of sweet malt and floral hops. Medium, smooth body with flavors of sweet malt, caramel and citrusy hops. The finish is malty with a lingering citrus aftertaste. Decent Bitter overall.
