Clear golden body with minimla off-white head. Aroma is moderately sweet, slightly malty. Taste is grainy, mildly sweet, with a hint of graininess. Clearly an attempt at an accessible beer, but what you're left with is a poor lawnmower beer.

(Draft) Pours a clear pale yellow with a small white head. Aroma of soap and grain. Flavor of sweet malt and hops.

Draft... RBSG 07... Clear yellow ale with a small, creamy, white head. Good retention and nice lacing. I’m not pulling much out of the aroma or flavor; some spent mash and light sweetness but that’s about all. Light to medium-bodied with a skim-milk mouthfeel and intermediate carbonation. Short, crisp, clean finish.

On tap at the brewpub on 6/22/07: Pours a clear bright golden with a small frothy, well-lacing white head. Aroma of lightly sweet pale malt and earthy noble hops. Body starts lightly pale malty sweet with a decent earthy noble hoppy bitterness toward a thinner, drier bittersweet finish. A ok golden ale.

Draft @ Brewpub: Pale yellow, light head and lacing. Nose of nice pale malt and clean, grassy hops. Subtle metal. The flavor has a nice body and a malty finish. Citrusy, clean. Ok.

Sample at the brewpub. Slightly malty, bathroomy nose; bright amber color. Light, fairly bland, some grainy hops, lightly herbal, quite dry in the finish.
