3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 vyvvy (2920) - Florissant, USA - SEP 5, 2010
Pours clear reddish amber with a soapy tan head. The aroma has nice smooth toasty malt with a moderate amount of sweetness and light bitterness from the hops. There is light caramel and pine. Medium grainy body with some prickly carbonation. The taste is very rough and earthy with a nice blend of roasted malt and earthy woody hops. The finish has a cracker like taste and some piny hops added. Good beer.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 15/20 MmmcKay (892) - Brentwood, Tennessee, USA - MAY 28, 2012
This is one hell of a good pale ale. Wish I had drank it sooner. Was attempting to share with some friends. So I got the whole bottle. It made me very happy this evening. Loved the malt profile. Just a bit of sweetness to go along with those yummy bountiful hops. Good damn beer. Rich but not heavy. Might buy more if I can find it.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20 mtlasley (16) - Anna, Illinois, USA - MAY 27, 2012
This was bottle poured into a white wine glass.
Appearance; Gorgeous deep, robust amber that obscures the glass, strong finger head with large bubbles, great "cloudy" effect when held to the light
Smell; Tangy floral notes with a grassy undertone, almost lemon like. Second smell reveals bready characteristics, almost like white bread
Taste; Beautiful, bold hop presence, mild malty backing. Tangerine, lemon, presence of sweet malt, pie crust, bread lingering in the back
Mouthfeel; "Medium", heavier on the tongue than anywhere else in the mouth, rich feeling
Overall; A delightful brew. It’s well balanced and fresh tasting while still coming on strong with the hopiness. I could take a bomber of this anywhere.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 kramer (3455) - Sunbury, Pennsylvania, USA - MAY 23, 2012
22 oz bottle. Pour a slightly hazy amber body with a small fizzy off-white head that faded to a partial film. The nose is citrusy and piney hops over a toasted and slightly sweet caramel malt body, all overlaying that signature Rogue Pacman year. The flavor is nicely bitter and prickly with citrusy hops up front, but the sweetness comes out pretty hard on the back end. There’s a bit of crystal malt like iced tea sweetness that I particularly don’t care for. The yeast doesn’t help either, seemingly enhancing the crystal malt notes. Medium bodied with soft fizzy carbonation. The bitterness lingers on quite a bit on the finish. Interesting beer, and a cool concept with the Grow Your Own theme, but pretty standard issue for a Rogue beer in terms of flavor.

Pours dark orange / amber with a smooth foamy head. Aroma is quite malty with notes of fresh hops, orange and fruits. Taste is full, malty and slightly sweet with notes of caramel, toffee and hops. Nice bitter and fruity finish. Quite strong for an APA
4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20 Bov (7354) - Bienne, SWITZERLAND - MAY 18, 2012
from Erzbierschof - hazy dark red-amber beer under a creamy long lasting beige foam; beautiful lacework; fairly hoppy aroma showing notes of cream, apricots and tea; moderate carbonation and a good malt backbone, gently sticky on the tongue and very tasty; long and solid bitterness which introduces a very hoppy fruity finish - fresh and very aromatic - appears more bitter than its announced 40 IBU

Draft. Pours copper with an off white head. Flowery aroma, with a hint of pine and light sweet malts. The flavor is well balanced, with lightly sweet and pale malts, flowery hops, and a hint of pine. Not bad.

Very well crafted pale ale. Extremely fresh hop aromatics. Some fruity flavors as it enters. A mix of grapefruit and apricot on the mid palate before seamlessly to a fresh, clean, yet hoppy finish. Delicious!

Pours a orange copper color with aroma of hops, floral, and citrus. Taste is mildly hoppy, very subtle floral palate throughout. Finish is clean that leads to a refreshing aftertaste. Overall a decent ale.
