Bottle at a tasting. Thanks David C. Hazy deep orange. Aroma of pine needles, a bit of flowers and some cookie-ish/caramelly malt notes. Bitter flavor with piney hops and some unpleasant graininess. Medium-bodied.

Bottle. Hazy dull amber. Thin head. Doughy with a soft, mossy hop aroma. Moderate bitterness. Good balance, for a beer that is aiming just a step above mainstream. The malts are maybe a bit breadcrusty. The finish has a hint of hop dryness but no real hop character. It’s not a bad beer, but it is indistinguishable. I waffled a bit about this one, weighing construction versus inspiration but ultimately this is less than previous lager efforts from R&B and more akin to a late 90s release than a 2010 release.

On tap, pours a golden colour. Aroma and taste were hoppy, but quite bland, without any distinctive character. Still a decent IPA, but nothing exceptional.
