Bobsy (196), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Sep 19, 2007 Draught sample at the downtown Seattle location. Dry and bitter. Mildly hopped, despite the aroma. It was okay. Nate (2291), Indiana, Pennsylvania, USA Jul 30, 2007 Draught sample, Seattle. Nice hoppy aroma. Sweet malt and some grapefruit, bit of apricot and pear. Golden amber clear with thin off-white head. Mild body with medium carbonation. Starts hoppy with fresh grapefruit and apricot. Mild malt-grainy sweetness and bit of biscuit. Finish is crisp with apricot and bit of chalky bitterness. Fruity grassy after. bitbucket (1601), Kirkland, Washington, USA Oct 27, 2006 Draft at Rock Bottom Seattle. Pours a cloudy golden orange with a lacy white head. Pine and citrus arome. Medium body and carbonation. More malty backbone than most RB beers - they’re usually overly focused on ’brewhouse efficiency." Dry pine and grapefruit finish. RB dry hops this beer, and if I was was picking a style based on taste rather than the brewer’s description. I’d have to go with IPA. harrisoni (5474), Ashford, Kent, England Oct 18, 2006 On tap at Rock Bottom, Seattle. Copper with a bit of haze. Citrus aroma. Some hop, but this is awful too. Woody hop. No real character. Not great either. harlequinn (2746), Tacoma, Washington, USA Apr 5, 2006 Suprisinigly tasty! A little light, but has a very satisfying malt backbone, with a refreshingly dry and bitter finish.
