IPAgain (8), Fleming Island, Florida, USA does not count Aug 29, 2008 Shaker glass at Mellow Mushroom - clear ornage, with off white head. Aroma carmel/malts - notes of hops, but not enough. DrDavid (957), Johnson, Vermont, USA Aug 27, 2008 (Bottle). Mild sweet malty aroma. Color is orange amber with a thin white head. Flavor is unexpectedly fruity, rather mild, and is followed by a very nice dry malty finish that lingers. gearbike (413), West Bloomfield, Michigan, USA Aug 27, 2008 Reddish amber from tap. Sweet with almost no hop taste. Drinkable but nothing really stands out. Just a bit flat and blah. nqualls (1429), Nashville, Tennessee, USA Aug 27, 2008 12 ozer poured into a shaker. Poured a dark gold color with a small white head. aroma is of sweet malt and some piney hops. Flavor is slightly nutty with sweet malt and a hoppy bite at the end. Medium bodied with mild carbonation. drjay44 (757), Salida, Colorado, USA Aug 25, 2008 22 oz. bottle. Pours a nice collapsing head, attractive dark honey yellow color, aroma of honey, other spices flow in, taste complex with multiple flavors that do not quite balance in my mouth, there is a bitter twang that comes in at the finish. I’d really like to try it on tap. taffurs888 (121), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA Aug 24, 2008 Bottle........pours a nice golden color with just a hint of depth. Smells intereseting......malty, sweet, minor hops. Taste is interesting as well nice nut, malt, mix with a subtle fruity hoppy taste. BeerBaron617 (306), Novi, Michigan, USA Aug 24, 2008 Well, this is my first Rogue brew, and I must admit, it’s not bad. I first heard of this brewer from hearing about it’s recent victories at the great american beer convention. This pours a dark hazy amber, with a good head and no lacing. It’s aroma is kinda subtle, but with some fruity back. The flavor is kinda subtle as well, but it has a decent mouthfeel, and some sweet maltiness on the finish. Cheers! HoppyGuy (111), USA Aug 23, 2008 Bottle. Pours a deep copper color with a medium off-white head and plenty of carbonation. Aroma of malt, toffee, also kind of nutty and bread-like. Flavor is a bit sweet, with citrus and spices, such as nutmeg and pepper. Good hops balance keeps this beer from being too malty. Soft, pleasant mouthfeel and good aftertaste. Good brew! I’d like to pair this beer with a wood-fired pizza topped with pepperoni, Italian sausage, mushrooms, onions and plenty of cheese. Oh, and just to keep my doctor off my back, let’s put a mixed green salad on the side.
