On tap at the brewpub. Amber/gold with a ring of a white head. Well balanced nose, mildly sweet, light grapefruit, biscuit and mild caramel. Grapefruit comes closer to the fore in the flavor. Decent, if somewhat boring beer.

Clear copper with a head that laces nicely. Light toasted bread and a faint bit of caramel. Moderate hop bite in finish. Good session beer. Quality, but won’t wear out the palate or its welcome.

Draft - This was served on draught at the brewery. Much too cold. Small head with a copper color. The flavor was sweet with a moderate amount of hops. I think their bottle beer is much better than what you get on draft at the pub.

Cloudy goldish brown body with a light white head. Very heavy caramel and buttersotch aroma, frankly a bit too much butter for my tastes. Bland body with not much in the way of taste, some very lite hops are evident. Cool ending that again has way too much in the way of butter.

Draught at the brewpub. Clear light orange color with a thin white head. Very similar to the golden ale in that there is a sprucy hop nose and cereal grain malt flavor. However, the hops are more prominent and bring with them a bitterness that balances nicely with the touch of sweetness.

The Richbrau name is one that harkens back to my youth. It was the name of an old brewery in Richmond, Va. This was a three pack of Old Nick, Old Nasty and Griffin. There was an article in the Times Dispatch that tweaked my curiosity to try these beer. I tried the Pale Ale first. The head fomation was modest and white. The color was an amber with a slight haze. The taste was of a mild pale ale. The hoppiness is present but not as smooth as others that I have had. The aftertaste has the bitterness of pale ales.
