RBWG14 Trip Rating #53. Can shared at the Friday Night Downtown Inn Bottle Share. Pours a clear golden color with a thin white head. Aroma of pale malts, stone fruit, spicy and floral hops. The taste is grassy, herbal hops, pale malts, mild vegetal notes. Medium bodied.

Can @ RBWG Fart Share. Pours a pretty clear yellow appearance with a white head. Lightly Toasted malty, grassy, herbal aroma. Fairly dry. Light lemon. Grassy / herbal, a bit chalky flavor. Pretty clean. Solid but not transcendental.

Can thanks to GT2. Pours hazy butterscotch, small creamy white head, nice lacing. About perfect so far. Aroma is lemon, grass, honey, citrus notes, a bit of pine. Flavor is citrusy, a bit of grass, light sweet and light bitter. Medium body, oily mouthfeel. A lot of good things going on here, but it has a really harsh bitter finish that was kind of a turnoff.

Bottle. Amber beer with a cream head. Grapefruit and light sweet malt aroma with light tropical fruit. Light pine and light grapefruit flavor with light mineral and light malt. Medium bodied. Grapefruit and pine linger with light mineral, light earth, and light spice.

Bomber from Total Wine in Sacramento, CA. Pours deep gold with a frothy white head. Lots of grass in the aroma. Med body or better. Flavor is somewhat bready, but there’s a lot of grassy hop, so the bitter is in charge. The bitter builds. If it was marginally less bready I’d nominate it for pilsenerdom. Another good beer from Ruhstaller.

Pours pale gold in color. Perfectly clear. Big white head. Excellent lacing and retention, particularly for the style. Good looking beer. The aroma is a mix of a sourdough-ish lager yeast flavor, gentle pale malt and grass/lemon/pine hops, relatively light. Not quite as hoppy as I expected. It’s pretty subdued for a beer that has the name of a hop farm on the label. That said, the hop aroma is quite pleasant. Just a light mix of grass, citrus and pine. The taste is relatively dry. There’s some simple sweetness to it from the pale malt. Light grassy bitterness, particularly in the finish. A little more of that lager yeastiness. It’s a refreshing, light beer with some solid flavor. Mouthfeel is light and fairly crisp. However, relative to the style, there’s some definite body to the beer, just a light creaminess. Tasty enough, but it doesn’t really stand out for me. I’m a tad disappointed that the hops aren’t featured a bit more prominently and contribute a fairly middle of the road flavor. Still, it’s a good beer. I think my expectations were just a bit thrown off by the hop-focused label.
