RBSG 2004: Clear orange with a small mostly diminishing white head. Juicy grapefruit aroma, medium soft body, starts lightly bitter and then gets more bitter.

On tap at Portland location. Clear amber with a medium off-white head. Nice aroma of pine of and citrusy hops. Flavor has notes of grapefruit, pine, some light toastiness and a touch of caramel. Nicely balanced. Body is full and round with a smooth texture and lively carbonation. Good lacing and head retention. Nothing original, but a nice drinkin’ beer. Underrated IMO.

Pours a hazy copper with a thin ivory head but heavy lacing anyway. Smells of citrus and an assertive bitterness. Taste is alot of grapefruit. Lots of citrus in this one. hints of orange and lemon as well. Lightly sweet malt with a solid bitterness in the finish. A bit creamy in the mouth with a nice biting bitter aftertaste. Strikes me a bit like an ESB instead of an IPA but no matter. A very good beer, much better than I was expecting and so drinkable I had two.

Draught. Poured amber with a floral nose. Lekker hoppiness in the flavour with a malty backbone. Hopy finish. This was the best of the beers I tried today.

Very dark coloring for an IPA, almost like an amber. Has a full flavor and head to it, and the aroma is nice as well. The first I’ve had from these guys, and it’s a good start.
