Medium bodied and incredibly drinkable. A blend of Pale and Caramel malts provides a deep copper tint and subtle caramel sweetness, balanced by mild earthy finish from select Liberty hops.

This beer poured a reddish/brown color and had a sweet aroma. It was very smooth going down with no harshness at all. The taste sweet and fruity.

Nice dark amberish appearance. Had a nice sweet fruit aroma to it. Flavorwise is where it was at. Just had a nice overall taste to it and went down very smooth. I enjoyed this beer.

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.

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

On tap at the Braintree, MA location: Pours amber with a medium offwhite head. Mild earthy aroma with light coffee and hairspray. Flavor is earthy, light chocolate. Mild bitterness in the finish. Good.

Had this at the King of Prussia, Pa location. Cask version. Nice creamy amber. That was about it. Tasted like any other amber.

Deep amber color with a small amount of white head. Carmely malty aroma. Tastes much the same as it smells, though a little more watery than i would have liked. Overall though, not a bad beer.
