Jun 23, 2007 On tap at brewpub. Nice, vibrant hoppy nose: bright fruit and pine. Lively on the palate. Nice balance of malt and resinous hops. Not over the top and very drinkable.

Jun 23, 2007 on tap at the brewpub, on the patio the night before RBSG. light amber color, remnants of a light tan head. aroma is citrusy hops like fresh grapefruit peel, a little bit of pine and hop leaves. flavor is more piney hop and less grapefruit, with just a bit of malt for balance. this really seems like the IPA version of masala mama.

Jun 23, 2007 RBSG 2007. Copper color with no head. Lots of orange and grapefruit in the aroma. These ramp up to bombastic proportions in the flavor with a fair amount of piney hops as well. The malt is certainly there and tries to balance it out, but a hop monster this be. APA? More like an IIPA minus the insane alcohol.

Jun 22, 2007 Bright red orange color, little head, lightly hazed...
Big hoppy nose, vibrant grapefruit, orange, and mango, fresh, flush, fruity. Niceness squared.
Taste it, a bitter, fruity blast...more of those same found in the nose, blasted upon the palate. Full-bodied, long finish...very full in flavor, very long bitter, hoppy, fruit-drenched finish.
Big malt, too, to match the extra-hoppiness, but just enough to match the extra-hoppiness. Not stronger in alcohol, though, a mere 5.5%. The IBUs are ungiven, but it feels much bolder and hoppier than the previous, much-admired Centennial PA.
I loved that one. I love this more...almost as good as Masala Mama...maybe?
