Hbuck72 (122), Chickasha, Oklahoma, USA Oct 28, 2008 Very good, well balanced beer.
Very malty flavor with a nice balance of hops. feels nice on the palate, and has a pleasant after taste.
Nice gold/orange color, smell is nicely balanced hops/malt. terrybail (331), London, Ontario, Canada Oct 28, 2008 Bottle from the LCBO
I will defiantly revisit this one for further comments
Very good
Beardface (977), Eugene, Oregon, USA Oct 28, 2008 I’ve never understood why this is the most popular (by far) of all the beers that Rogue has to offer. You can’t go to a bar or store in this state without seeing the damn thing, and it’s not that good! Way too malty in the front end and a somewhat hoppy middle with a disappointing finish. So horribly overrated. snook91901 (34), USA Oct 28, 2008 Overall, enjoyable... refreshing. Pours a light amber with a short-lived off-white head. Flavor is not too malty with a bright hop finish. Citrus, honey. Alcohol can stand out a little bit towards the end. Rynoplasty (500), Louisville, Kentucky, USA Oct 27, 2008 Pours golden brown with a nice off white head. The aroma is hoppy and crisp. Taste is smooth and malty with a nice citrusy hop finish as well. Good stuff. PaulHegedus (458), Georgetown, Ontario, Canada Oct 27, 2008 Bottle. Pours orange amber with an aromatic white head: holds pine, orange, faint caramel. Nice mouthfeel. I taste orange in the hops with caramel malt, toffee and a slightly bitter finish: light for American style hopping. I would not have guessed ’bock’ from a blind taste test. taalhiker (179), Dayton, Ohio, USA Oct 26, 2008 From bottle. Part of October Dayton beertasting event.
Pours golden Aroma is citrusy with malt notes. Tastes include honey and good blend of hops and malt. RickS95 (32), Evansville, Indiana, USA Oct 25, 2008 Appears cloud, copper in color with a thick, white head that stays around for a while.
Smells of sweet malt. Nice lacing. Crisp, slight burning mouthfeel.
Bitterness in the finished is chased away by the highish alcohol content.
