Jul 8, 2009 Very nice amber. Taste is smooth on the tounge, mostly malt with little hops drinkable but somewhat average.

Jun 23, 2009 Tap at the Boston location: Orange/copper with a tan film of head. Very simple caramel malt aroma- hardly any hop character (if any). Mildly carbonated with a sweet flavor. Very mildly hopped- should be hoppier with a buttery (diacetyl) note. Vacant, buttery, and not nearly bitter enough for the style.

May 4, 2008 On Cask at NERAX 2008 Somerville, MA. While the common RB northstar is a golden, drinkable, but light in flavor that I’ve had many times, this was an example on when an expert brewer (Jerry in Boston RB) hand crafts a small batch. Much darker and thicker appearance, much more flavor, much smoother palate, a bear that you could drink on and on...but sadly the cask was a one-time thing.

Mar 17, 2008 On draft at Boston location. Boring and a little watery like their other beers. Mostly caramel, toasted malt flavor, but there were a few hops in the taste. Brief finish. Slight bitterness.
