Bottle shared during the RBESG 2014 opening dinner - CBC Clapham. Pours deep brown with a frothy, off-white head. The nose has roast, citrus and toasted pine. Light to medium sweet flavor with perfumey hops, pine, earth, dry roasted malts. Light to medium bodied with average carbonation. Lightly gritty earth on the finish, further pine, perfume, roasted malts. Not bad.

RBESG pt 1. Craft Clapham. Bottle courtesy of tiny Matt. Hazy dark amber beer, big fluffy pale tan head. Palate is airy and a little crisp. Very light malts bring mild creamy toffee sweetness. Nice hops - touch of Sorachi like lemon, little hop spice. Mild citrus and dry floralness. Dry finish brings a little candy sweetness. Pretty drinkable.

The taste is bitter, dried berry, grape must, caramel, varnish, toffee, wood and toasty with a dry finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Pretty drinkable.

Tap at RJ. Aroma is mostly hoppy, fruity, exotic, citrusy. Clear golden colour. Taste is mostly bitter, but with an adequate unintruding malty base. Clean hoppiness, pleasant bitterness. Fruity, mostly citrusy, tangerine, orange, grapefruit. Very well balanced. Sessionable. Very good beer, me likes.
