UPDATED: JAN 17, 2012 Probably the best Rogue ale I’ve had. A hop explosion that isn’t too over the top, it really is a hard beer to categorize, but a great ale none the less.

650 ml bomber from "A tutta birra". Served into a snifter. Pours a beautiful cloudy sunrise orange, with a big big fluffy off.white head. Rogue beers are very hard to find in Italy, and this bottle was the last one from the one and only store that carries them, so I’m pretty sure this is not a very fresh bottle. So the hoppy aroma is not very intense, but still present. Very nice bitterness in the mouth, but nothing too extreme. Very balanced malts flavours. Overall this is a very solid IPA’s, one of my favourites at the moment and perfect for an hot summer day. Too bad I will probably not find another bottle in the near future..

Not quiet an IPA but close, good bitter but nothing lip-smacking or tough to drink. Finishes very clean.

This is from a 22oz bomber, which upon opening spewed like I had shaken the bottle, but it had been sitting for a few days. The rising foam had a metallic taste from the bottle. Contrary to the start, the rest of the beer was very enjoyable. It poured a hazy rust with two fingers of white foam that went away after about 30 seconds. I love the opaque color. Aroma reminds me of a candied fruit that I tried one Christmas, but I dont know what it is, certainly citrusy. There is an up front burnt malty taste, a bit of coffee, but that dissipates quickly and is replaced by a wonderful hoppy bitterness that is long lasting. This beer really hit the spot.

Bottle. I knew I would love this beer as soon as I poured it. Lively carbonation and poured a cloudy golden amber colour. Aroma of hops greeted me immediately with some citrus too. The taste was bitter right from the start, yet not too much so...medium body with a creamy texture. Loved the active carbonation. Surprise, a bitter finish and very satisfying from start to finish..an excellent beer overall.
