Bottle... RBSG ‘08... Cloudy yellow ale with a small white head. Good retention. Spicy, herbal aroma. Full-bodied and syrupy with soft carbonation. Too sweet for me. Spicy and herbal, but not balanced enough for the style or my palate. Sweet, warm, dry finish.

@ home with the club. Pours a hazy golden. Sweet and dry. Hints of pepper and eldeberry flowers. Medium to high carboantion. Full bodied. Residual sugars in the finish with an alcohol touch. Big thaks to the guys @ Valley Brew for giving me/us this one.

Pours opaque pale orange gold with thin tan head. The nose was Summer fruits and candied sugar. Creamy on the palate and the taste follows suit with the aroma. A bit of sour in the finish. I want to have it again when it’s not following dozens of others at RBSG.
