apricot like hop aroma, golden hue, nutty and malty, nice earthy bitterness, light in body

JahNoth (1039) - Rochester, New York, USA - JUN 18, 2004

Pours a lightly orange golden hue. Fluffy head that dissipates quickly. When cold, the hops are nicely present - mildly fruity. As it warms the bready malts come forward. This is a delightfully refreshing, soft ale, and well worth the try. Go Rogue!

Gromit (479) - Port Orchard, Washington, USA - MAY 19, 2004

This is interesting. I’m not sure if it’s an APA or a Pils. Very bread-like, a bit fruity, and quite uninspiring.

mardermax (71) - santa cruz, California, USA - MAY 3, 2004

22 oz bottle: looks pretty good. not that good for a pale ale. dissapointing for an anniversary rogue brew. sad. pours as a pissy color liquid, the head leaves quickly. taste more like a lager than a pale ale, small hops, but feels gnarly going down. what the huf now it smells like pancakes

legion242 (1838) - Richardson, Texas, USA - APR 30, 2004

Just didn’t do it for me, and i am normally a huge backer of this brewery. An avaerage tasting Pils that has that sorta un-refined character. Seemed a little like a good homebrew rather then an offering from a world class brewery.

HopasaurusRex (195) - Glen Ellyn, Illinois, USA - APR 26, 2004

I think this might have not stored well as it seemed a little off. Some hops in the aroma-mildly sweet palate and mild bitterness. I really wanted to like this beer since I brought it all the way from OR, but it just didn't do it for me.

AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20

JCW (1270) - Cincinnati, Ohio, USA - APR 12, 2004

Golden color, moderate white head. Aroma is very malty, somewhat carmelly. Aroma of Hallertau comes out. Flavor is fairly sweet. This pale ale is dominated by malt which is different especially from Rogue. Hops do show up in the finish which is balanced.

AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20

TChrome (1315) - Bedford, Texas, USA - APR 11, 2004

Pale golden in color with a nice off white head that is retained with lacing. Aroma is fairly muted with light floral hops and a light malt presence. Flavor is bready with a bit of a hope bite in the finish. Decent but falls a bit short.
