R and B has been brewing in Vancouver, BC since 1997 with a mission to stay local and independent. The owners had decided that they needed to "Stand in opposition to what the beer world had become – big, non-descript, faceless, and corporate." This particular offering is brewed as an English style pale ale, which is why you will notice more of a hop-kick.
It is a really nice reddish amber in colour, with a nice white foamy head. Brewers lace clings to the glass as you drink it down.
It smells strongly of hops with a light citrus undertone. The hops come straight to the forefront of the taste and stay there with the malt and citrus joining towards the end and all just fading away leaving a lingering of all three flavours on the tongue.
It is a little more hoppy than the average pale ale.
It sips a little lighter than the average pale ale, yet still has a little richness and smoothness on the tongue.
Overall a very refreshing pale ale with a great taste profile that stands out from the majority of the other pale ales out there. Great to drink year round, especially good with barbeque or just hanging out with friends watching the game.
