Jan 11, 2009 (10/28/08) Draught sample at the brewpub in Santa Rosa. 6.1%. Clear golden. Aroma of rather citrusy hops (grapefruit and pomelo) and some background malt. A balanced flavor with some malt sweetness and a good dose of delicate hop bitterness. Medium-bodied.

Jan 5, 2009 Enjoyed this with friends at Issac Newton’s in Newtown, PA. On tap, served a chilled (sigh) shaker. Deep golden, brilliant, clear and delicious. Nice white head dissipates fairly quickly. Some lacing. All about the hops — delicious flowery aroma and bitter finish that is a little bit sour and sweet. Would be delicious with a Szechuan stir fry or with Vietnamese chile dumplings. Dark flavor, roasty, and an exemplar of the style. I really really want to try some of the bigger brews by RR.

Jan 2, 2009 Tap at the brewpub. The body was deep gold with a light haze. The aroma was grapefruit with some almonds and bread. The taste was fairly bitter with flowers. A good full mouthfeel. Some nuttiness in the finish.

Dec 8, 2008 golden and clear, orange highlight, thin white head, aroma of straw and ripe hop perfume, bright flavors of grapefruit and lemon grass, pleasing and delightful, though I think I prefer the blind pig for its fuller hop flavor
