Very hoppy and smooth. This is by far the best "bitter" i have had.

Delicious. Bitter up front, then it really settled down into something closer to trad. English for me (yet with the German derived hop variety). These guys are crazy.

Pours a nice orange color, that gets quite hazy when the sediment is added. A nice persistant head on top. The aroma is the typical westcoast piney hop aroma. The flavors are quite a bit better. Much more malt than anticipated. Well done. A very nice session beer.

Subtle hop aroma. Nice maltiness in the body, balanced quite well with the hops.A great example of the style.

My favorite Rogue thus far. A deep amber color with a perfectly balanced bitterness: spicy and citrusy. Good malt presence, especially the specialty Vienna and Wheat malts to differentiate this beer. Sweet aftertaste. I liked the hop varieties employed, especially the Hallertau derivative.

Hazy orange color...kinda dull when held up to light. Very harsh grapefruit bitterness in the aroma and flavor. I didn’t catch much of the maltiness that other raters talked about. Huge chunks of stuff floating around in the bottle.

UPDATED: JAN 7, 2004 Cloudy,oarnge with huge,big bubbled,soapy head.Aroma is huge pine,citric battle.Palate is oily,with lots of carbonation(probably from the pile of dregs in bottom).Taste is a fresh hop onslaught.They are all over.The malts are there but the hops are huge.Seemed too fresh but was an old labeled bottle.Really look forward to trying again.Doesn't seem like a candidate to die on the shelf.

Strong hop and malt nose.
Hops and malt comes right through while tasting too.
Not bad but a little too much of the malt comes through...
Maybe it’s the Cara Wheat that I’m picking up on so much...

Had this in a huge bottle. The nose is deliciously refreshing with citrus, spice and pine.
The brew pours a clear copper. The titanic off-white tight and creamy head is rocky, fully
lasting and has excellent lacing. The flavor is deep and almost perfectly balanced with a
moderate acidity present. Starts malty with a citrus middle and a heavy hopped finish.
There is a party on my tongue and everyone is invited sweet, sour, spicy, and bitter. The
medium body is very smooth and creamy with a soft to lively carbonation and a very
astringent feel to the finish. A great offering from one of the best breweries in the
country.

Tap. Hazy amber. Serious citrus hop and spice aroma. Amazing hop flavor with big bitter aftertaste.
