Appearance: Pours a dark amber color with a huge foamy tan head. The head sticks around for quite some time and leaves lots of lacing all over my glass.
Smell: Floral and pine hops with caramel malts. Has a good smell but nothing too amazing.
Taste: Has a very consistent bitter pine hop taste all the way through. Some mild toasted malts in there as well.
Mouthfeel/drinkability: Light to medium bodied and very dry.

Jan 4, 2010 Not bad - nice hop flavor that didn’t overpower you. Great color. You could tell this was a Rogue brew - the quality was definitely there.

Dec 31, 2009 Herbal both in nose and flavour. Green tea is what comes to mind. There is a bit of caramel but nothing near as much as I thought. Bakers chocolate, bitter, but subdued by a breadiness. This is pretty awesome to tell you the truth. Nice job, Rogue.

Dec 13, 2009 Thanks Hayduke! A murky brown pour with a one finger tan head. Amazingly sweet aroma is fruity and spicy. Flavor offers almost as much sweet fruit. It also has a nice caramel profile. Even a hint of chocolate. The hops do make themselves known with a nice bitterness and some pine. I am not a fan of hugely hopped beers and this one suits my tastes. It is on the sweet side and very easy to drink. The hops do let you know that they are there but do not over power. A very nice and well crafted beer.

Dec 13, 2009 Pours deep orange with a head off-white and creamy. Aroma is resin, citrus, alcohol and caramel. Tastes moderately bittersweet initially, acidic in the middle and lightly bitter in the finish. Medium bodied, syrupy texture with soft carbonation. Impressive development in each swallow. A good IPA.

Dec 12, 2009 Pours a redish brown with a medium thick light tan head and a bit of clinging lacing. Aroma is of malt, yeast, and a touch of hops. It’s pleasant enough but no unexpected notes. Hops hit the flavor right off the bat, more on the piny side rather than citrus. There is a bit of malt in the undertone, but nothing too complex. Medium mouth feel. Overall nicely drinkable, but not extraordinary.

Dec 10, 2009 Light reddish-brown pour with off-white head. Aroma is light bisquits, hops, little caramel. Taste is malty, floral hops. The malts and hops balance well together. Nice lacing. Dry finish.
