sstackho (249), Toronto, Ontario, Canada May 2, 2008 22oz purchased from LCBO in Grimsby. Nice, but slightly restrained hoppy aroma. First taste is rich, with nice fruity hops. Very nicely balanced. Pretty much exactly what I was hoping for. More fruitiness in the hops than most IPAs, but not lacking in overall hop bitterness. Interesting to read that the only hop used is Crystal from Oregon.
Trooper11 (447), Suffolk, Virginia, USA Oct 5, 2008 Cloudy amber orange brew, foamy white head with an orangish tint. Soft citrus floral aroma, like orange juice. Solid bitter citrus flavor, like eating a fresh orange, peel and all. very satisfying. Very bitter. Nice! Like Ronald McDonald..."I’m Lovin’ It!" Great orange zest aftertaste lingers. PaulHegedus (115), Brampton, Ontario, Canada Sep 29, 2008 Bottle. Pours amber with grapefruit, citrus like aromas. Medium body. Flavour starts sweet with caramel malt then is hit with strong hop bitterness, more citrus. Bitter finish. DWestrick (183), Ft Wayne, Indiana, USA Sep 28, 2008 bottle - an excellent beer - much like an IPA, suprized it was only 6% - finishes great will have again illkarate (47), Bloomington, Indiana, USA Sep 28, 2008 22oz bottle, pours a hazy amber-orange, perfect head... settles quickly. Extremely well-balanced brew, nice floral bitterness (but not overwhelming), pomelo, hints of honey, malt, good carbonation. Probably one of Rogue’s best offerings. CheersBabe (57), USA Sep 27, 2008 Pours like cider with a light-tan head. Smells flowery/hoppy, like a heavy IPA. Tastes of citrus with the bitter hops. Not a bad beer.
