On tap at the brewery. Aroma is slightly grainy with a faint sulfur note. Some light citrus and pineapple notes with a touch of tropical fruit. Some light stone fruit notes as well. Lemon, melon and mango. Faint phenolic note. Light oak. Pours a slightly hazy, golden yellow with a small, thin white head that recedes quickly. No lacing or legs. Flavor is lightly acidic with some light sweetness and faint grain notes. Medium light oak notes with a hint of an herbal phenolic character. Low bitterness. Quite a bit of fruit character. Some stone fruit with hints of lemon and moderate pineapple. Hints of melon. Mouthfeel is medium light bodied with medium low to low carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, this is still one of my favorite beers from RB. The acidity is well rounded, great fruit notes without using any fruit. Nice barrel character.
