Reviewed at RNH solo on 11/11/09.

Appearance: slightly cloudy yellow and wheat colored with little head.

Smell: fresh and sweet grapefruit with rose petals in the background.

Taste: opens surprisingly lemon as a tangy and bittering hop middle emerges till the finish leaving a slighty tangy aftertaste. There is a sourness which reminds me very much of brett in this blonde.

Mouthfeel: light bodied, crisp and dry with moderate carbonation.

Drinkability: I would have this again. It grows on you as you palate adjust to the sourness, I recommend this to someone who wants to try a mildly sour blonde ale.

A - Ornge pour with fizzy carbonation and a white foam that settles quickly. Very clear and slight lacing.

S - Scents of orange, lemon, and pale malt. A faint amount of hop clover hits the nose.

T - Very light drinking pale with some tartness from citrus. Very clean and refreshing taste. Finish has a light bitterness. Some spicy notes are present; more as the I finished half the glass

M- Light feel, crisp, and leaves a slight herbal bite in the finish.

O - This is a nice pale ale that while fairly generic has enough flavor to appeal to citrus lovers on a hot day. Good BBQ beer.

On tap at Sunset Beer Company in Los Angeles, CA.

Pours a clear golden orange with a foamy off-white head that settles to a film on top of the beer. Foamy swaths of lace form around the glass on the drink down. Smell is of malt, citrus fruit, citrus zest, and slight tropical fruit aromas. Taste is much the same with malty and herbal flavors on the finish. There is a mild amount of hop bitterness on the palate with each sip. This beer has a good level of carbonation with a crisp mouthfeel. Overall, this is a pretty good beer with some solid aromas and flavors.

I had a sixteen ounce pour of this at George Keeley's on Manhattan's upper west side. I had hoped to like it better but it was just too malty for the low abv and low hops. I guess that's just the character of the style but I would have prefered something a little more refreshing. It was very a very cloudy straw color with a decent aroma but, again, the flavor was a bit intense for what it was. I would not recommend but I do like this brewery in general.

Poured a hazy dark straw hue with a one finger foamy white head. There was was good retention and lacing.

The smell featured some light malts and a vibrant herbal hop.

The taste consisted of an upfront astringency to the malt that relented to a soft malt and herbal hop.

The mouthfeel was toward the lighter side of the style.

Overall a pleasant and easy to drink ale.

On-tap at Beachwood BBQ,

A: Pours a golden blonde with a soft white head which leaves some lacing.

S: Light notes of hops, cereal, bread.

T: Malt character is quite mild, the predominate flavour is an earthy, green hop component. Some husky grain in there as well.

M: Very light-bodied, smooth and crisp. A summer beer.

D: Very easy to drink due to its light nature, needs some more flavour to be a session pint I could come back to.

RBSG09, on tap at the brewery. Pours light orange-gold with a frothy off white head. Aromas of cereal grain with mild C-hops. Cheerios maltiness, mild grapefruity hops, slight resinous bitterness. Pretty drinkable and dry. Well balanced and refreshing, but I got tired of the Cheerios note pretty quickly.
